It’s AAA, it’s live live live, and it’s right now now now!
There’s lots to get to tonight including a non title dream
match, the possible attempted murder of a small man and of
course a completely normal and uneventful contract signing.
There may also be clowns. But first:
The show kicked off with Dorian Roldan telling El Hijo Del
Vikingo that he will have a match against El Hiji De Dr
Wagner Jr for his Latin American Championship on May 30th,
while Omos looked on. Then they said some stuff about
family.
El Hijo Del Vikingo vs. Mini Vikingo
The term “blood feud” gets tossed around a lot, sometimes
even in wrestling. Mini Vikingo and Regular Sized Vikingo
have been embroiled in a bitter battle for weeks now. It
started when Vikingo started hanging around with that no
good Dorian Roldan and Omos. They picked on Mini Vikingo and
after a loss, Vikingo rescinded Mini’s permission to use his
name and likeness. Then Vikingo and Omos put him in the
hospital. Not satisfied with making Mini’s mom cry, Vikingo
went to the hospital and beat him up some more. Then Mini
Vikingo interfered in Vikingo’s Rey De Reyes match for the
AAA Mega Championship against Dirty Dom Mysterio and spoiled
Vikingo’s chance to win the WWE Intercontinental Title from
Penta. So this Battle of The Vikingos has built to tonights
match, where Mini faces Regular Sized one-on-one.
Right off the top, Vikingo threw his cape over Mini and
stomped him. He flattened Mini with a dropkick as the bell
rang and stomped his chest in the corner. Vikingo brutalized
Mini, throwing strikes and slams around the ring. Mini
kicked out of every pin attempt though.
Vikingo fishhooked Mini in a modified camel clutch then sent
him off the ropes, dropping him with a takedown into an
ankle lock. Vikingo bounced Mini’s head off the mat until
the ref made him stop.
Mini found some fight in him though, open hand slapping
Vikingo. Vikingo hit him with a superkick, which staggered
him against the ropes. Vikingo then dropkicked Mini to the
outside. He sent Mini into the steel steps and then walked
him up to the ramp where he suplexed him on the steel.
Vikingo then powerbombed Mini on the ramp, throwing him
about ten feet towards the entrance. Vikingo pulled Mini
back to the ring by the hair and went for a cover. The ref
counted one, two and then Vikingo pulled Mini up to continue
the assault.
Vikingo charged Mini in the corner, but Mini woke up and
avoided it. He hit him with a headscissor, nearly getting a
three count. Vikingo bailed from the ring and Mini took him
out with a spinning leap over the top rope into a crucifix
driver, spiking Vikingo on the floor and making a highlight
reel moment that should be relplayed daily. It was honestly
incredible.
Mini took control, clubbing and stomping Vikingo. He went
for a springboard frog splash, but Vikingo got his knees up.
Vikingo powerbombed Mini in the middle of the ring, but Mini
somehow kicked out of the cover.
A frustrated Vikingo started kicking and punching Mini like
a schoolyard brawl. He then went over and removed the pad
from the second turnbuckle. Vikingo went to throw Mini into
the exposed turnbuckle, but Mini countered with a drop toe
hold and sent him face first into the steel.
Mini then scrambled up and landed a 450, but Vikingo kicked
out, preventing the upset. Vikingo then threw Mini into the
official, who was sent to the outside. Mini hit a
hurricanrana and pinned Vikingo. The bell rang, but no one
knew who rang the bell, if there was a count, or who won.
In the chaos, Vikingo clotheslined Mini and then hit a very
scary urinagi from the top turnbuckle. He made the pin, but
again, there was no one to count it. Vikingo rolled out of
the ring clutching his shoulder and grabbed a chair.
Vikingo went to use the chair on Mini, but Dr Wagner Jr ran
down and hit a Wagner Driver on Vikingo on the chair! Mini
scrambled up and hit a, I kid you not, 630 onto Vikingo and
the ref slid back in to count 1-2-3 in one of the biggest
upsets in Lucha Libre history!
Match Result: Mini Vikingo defeated El Hijo Del Vikingo
After the match, Omos stomped down to the ring and took out
Wagner Jr. He then lawn-darted Mini into the ringpost and
rolled Wagner into the ring. He chopped and kicked him and
was about to powerbomb him when Glaneno Del Mal (Wagner’s
brother) ran in with a chair! He nailed Omos and the two
chased him out of the ring.
I don’t mean to be a hater, but the first 23 minutes of this
episode of AAA were more exciting than both nights of this
year’s Wrestlemania combined. Absolutely fantastic match,
storytelling and even then run-in was fun and made sense.
AAA ¡Para toda la vida!
Non-Title Match: AAA World Cruiserweight Champion Laredo Kid
vs. Rey Fenix
If you joined us last week, you’ll remember Laredo Kid
losing a non-title-champion-vs-champion match to El Hijo de
Dr Wagner Jr abd neing pretty salty about it. After the
match, Fenix tried to cheer him up, but Laredo blew him off
and angrily stomped away, leaving Fenix staring after him
and thoughtfully stroking his chin. That’s wrestling code
for “I think I want to fight that guy who I was just trying
to cheer up next week…” So here we are!
Laredo tried to keep Fenix off his feet in the opening
minutes, but Fenix was able to dodge and kip up everything
thrown at him. The pace picked up with neither one gaining
control, each countering the other until Laredo bailed from
the ring to collect himself. Fenix went off the ropes to
dive, but Laredo was already back in the ring and cut him
off with a spear.
Laredo went back to basics, throwing punches and slaps at
Fenix. He dropkicked him in the head, but Fenix kicked out
at two. Fenix tried a spin kick, but Laredo countered it
into a Michinoku driver. Laredo went up top and landed a
perfect crossbody splash. Fenix kicked out of the cover at
two.
Fenix started a comeback with a back elbow and superkick. He
punted Laredo’s head off the top rope, but Laredo kicked out
of the cover. Fenix insiguir’ed Laredo to the outside and
then leapt off the apron for a hurricanrana.
Fenix threw Laredo back into the ring and hit a moonsault
from the top turnbuckle. Another kickout at two though for
Laredo. Fenix continued with the kicks to the head, setting
up Laredo for a Mexican Muscle Buster.
Laredo got out of hit though and dropped Fenix with a hard
right hand and then a moonsault from the bottom rope. He
went for a second one, but Fenix moved. No bother because
Laredo hit him with a Mexican Destroyer DDT. Fenix somehow
kicked out at ONE though!
Laredo set up Fenix, but Fenix exploded out of nowhere with
a cutter. They started trading chops, until Fenix sent
Laredo into the corner. He charged him but got caught by
another right from Laredo. Laredo went up top, but Fenix
climbed the ladder and hit an uppercut.
He grabbed Laredo and nailed him with a Mexican Muscle
buster. Fenix made the cover and the ref counted three to
give him the victory.
Match Result: Rey Fenix defeated Laredo Kid
Another absolutely stellar match. Fenix should be in line
for a shot at Laredo’s Crusierweight Title asap. Hey, maybe
on May 30th? The match was so good that the crowd started
throwing coins into the ring, which is a sign of great
respect in Lucha Libre.
Next, a video package aired recapping all the clown drama in
the Psycho Circus lately. Someone took out Panic Clown and
Dave The Clown and Psycho Clown began to suspect his tag
team partner Pagano after Pagano was late to help Psycho in
a match against the War Raiders. They argued and Pagano
stormed off, but Psycho turned the corner and found an
unconscious Murder Clown, a telltale bandanna left on his
chest. A bandanna belonging to none other than Pagano! Next
week, Psycho and Pagano will meet face-to-face to get to the
bottom of this and I can almost guarantee that it will be
awesome. Clown-level awesome.
It was also announced that next week, La Catalina will make
her in-ring AAA debut.
Real El Grande Americano and Original El Grande Americano
Contract Signing for Noche de los Grandes
As anyone who’s ever seen wrestling knows, the most
dangerous moment in any competitor’s career is when they
must face their opponent one-on-one in the ring and do the
paperwork to make their match official. I’ve often wondered
if other matches on the card had to go through this same
paperwork and they just don’t make a big deal out of it, or
if these contracts are only for big-time matches. It seems
like we should have more of these segments and yet, I’d
really be happy with less of them, in spite of how much WWE
loves them.
Anyway, to bring you up to speed on the El Grande Americano
Civil War, the “Real” El Grande Americano was living high on
the hog, getting over huge in both WWE and AAA. Then, the
“OG” El Grande Americano returned at the Royal Rumble in
January. They both won spots in the finals of Rey De Reyes
with Real Americano winning the whole darn thing and getting
the bigass sword. OG Americano was not happy about this and
they interfered in each others business to the point it
became comical. Now, Real Americano has challenged OG
Americano to a Mask-vs-Mask Match on May 30th to settle
things once and for all. But first, the paperwork!
Both Americanos calmly walked to the ring. Then they signed
the paper, shook hands and that was it. See you May 30th!
Just kidding!
The ring was filled with Security, ring announcers and
Dorian Roldan as the Americanos made their entrances. It
felt kinda pointless, as everyone knows there is noone more
ineffective than a security guard on a WWE payroll.
Regardless, they made it to the ring.
Roldan announced that Mask-vs-Mask is one of the most
important matches in Lucha Libre. He asked the Americanos to
sign the contract. OG Americano then pulled a piece of paper
out of his pocket and handed it to Roldan.
Roldan read it, saying it was a letter from OG’s attorney.
It said that OG Americano would not face Real Americano
unless the following condition was met:
No Physical altercations from now until May 30th. If this
was breached, then the attacking wrestler would
automatically lose their mask.
Real Americano agreed and signed the addendum to the the
match contract.
Roldan then read that there was one more condition: OG would
not participate in the match if the current ring announcer
was not removed from AAA.
This greatly upset Real Americano and was clearly an attempt
to draw him into a fight. The ring announcer (who’s name I
missed, apologies), left and both Americano’s signed the
match contract.
OG Americano left the ring and then suddenly the Creed
Brothers showed up and drove Real Americano through the
table in the ring! They covered him with the American Flag,
but Rayo and Bravo Americano arrived to run them off and
even the odds.
So, until the match on the 30th of May, the Americanos (Real
and OG) cannot touch each other or they will automatically
lose their match.
The show ended with an Americano staredown.
