The show opened by showing the events of the last AAA event I watched/reviewed including that big melee at the end with Myzteziz and the reveal of Electroshock.
Match One: Mamba / El Apache / Belial vs. Gotita de Plata / Super Nova / Super Porky
This was what you would expect from the mini's and those who are just shorter. Though Mamba is a woman so I'm not sure exactly how she got grouped into here instead of fighting with other women. In the end, Super Porky used his size to his advantage (He might not have been the tallest in the match but he certainly was the widest) and picked up the victory for his team.
We are taken to what appears to be a press conference involving Fenix, Hijo del Fantasma and Angelico. I thought they were in a match together but the next match would prove that to be false. They recapped Triplemania XXII. Fantasma says in plain English (as well as Spanish) "This is my time".
Match Two: Hell Brothers (Averno / Chessman) vs. Angelico / Jack Evans
It is worth noting that Averno and Chessman had seperate entrances for whatever reason, yet Angelico and Evans came out together. You'd think the Hell Brothers would be unified, and I do believe I've seen them come out together before so I'm not sure what that was about exactly. I was also thinking during this match about how Jack Evans used to be in ROH, back in the day, and now they're celebrating thirteen years as a promotion. Yet I feel like I see Jack Evans more now in AAA than I ever did in ROH. I kind of wished Jack Evans came back for the 13th Anniversary but maybe they have to wait for a bigger one, like 20th, to bring back all the names from the past. At one point, Angelico and Evans each had a member of the Hell Brothers down for a pin attempt but they both kicked out. Has there ever been a time when that has worked for one man and not the other? I am seriously curious about that. With both Hell Brothers down in the corner via Angelico, Jack Evans hits a move from the top rope that I think was at least a 720 (but I wasn't counting) and they do the double pin for the win once again. After the match, Cibernetico comes out and the Hell Brothers beat up Angelico and Evans. Do they have a team name? I'd like to use it if they do. At one point they put them through a table, then as they were inside the broken table the Hell Brothers took turns hitting the table with chairs. It might have been more of a protective spot but I'm sure the commentators sold it like they were killing Angelico and Evans.
Next up there was a promo for Rey dey Reyes and La Parka had a sword.
A segment is shown where Cibernetico appears to be talking to a shrink. He recounts the time he formed Hell Brothers and Blue Demon Jr. paid the price for it.
Match Three: El Mesias vs. La Parka vs. Parka Negra vs. Cibernetico
This match started off well enough, with some good back and forths and everyone taking turns flying to the outside. But when it broke down, the Hell Brothers came out with Texano Jr., Perro and Taya to attack La Parka on the outside. It was a six on one advantage for them and they even took off La Parka's boot and used it as a weapon against him. Ultimately, they dragged La Parka up the ramp and took him away as El Mesias was left in the ring with Parka Negra. So that basically took La Parka out of the match, sure, but Cibernetico also effectively took himself out of the match. I read after watching it that the pair was counted out but still the fact remains that those five rudos could have easily taken out La Parka and left Cibernetico in the ring to potentially win the match. I'm trying to see this as a situation where Cibernetico is willing to sacrifice whatever it takes to get what he wants or a "If I can't have it then you can't either" deal, but it just makes him look foolish when he has the numbers on his side and could have used them without having to sacrifice anything. El Mesias eventually hit a big splash from the top rope onto Parka Negra for the win. Parka Negra did have a cool spot in the match though where he came off the top rope and grabbed Mesias' head and rammed his knees into his face. I'm surprised I haven't seen that done more seeing as how everyone is all about the knees these days.
As I read about this match afterwards as well it was presented to me that El Mesias is now in the finals of the Rey de Reyes tournament with Aerostar, who won the match last time with all that insanity. So this kind of makes Cibernetico look even crazier because he's not just giving up a match but perhaps something more.
The show closed with a promo from Brian Cage, who goes simply by Cage in Lucha Underground and has also appeared in PWG. He spoke in English with Spanish subtitles. He basically calls out Alberto El Patron, saying they were in developmental together and El Patron was stupid to slap an employee and he deserved to be fired. Cage says he's coming for El Patron and I'm so excited I could... No, wait, I'm really not that excited.
This is the end of Part 1 on YouTube.
Match Four: Mini Psycho Clown / Mini Charly Manson / Mini Abismo Negro vs. Mini Drago / Octagoncito / Mascarita Sagrada
I was not aware that there existed a Mini Drago but that is kind of cool. I also found myself wondering during this match how the names were chosen in terms of him being "Octagoncito" instead of "Mini Octagon" or why not "Dragocito" instead of "Mini Drago". Does that make sense? Mascarita Sagrada took a huge dive off the top rope here but landed on his head/neck area roughly. He was taken away by paramedics and so I assume if his injury wasn't legit this is the reason why he was written off of Lucha Underground for the time being via The Crew. Otherwise, what you would expect from a six person mini's match. Psycho Clown pins Mini Drago for the win and I can't help but wanting to see Psycho Clown vs. Drago now.
Match Five: Super Fly / Joe Lider / Taya vs. Bengala / Drago / Faby Apache
Speaking of Drago. Another trios match here and this one has two men and one woman on each side. I really don't mind having mixed tag matches or mixed trios matches it's just the man vs. woman thing they had going on in early Lucha Underground that bothered me. Taya is the AAA version of a Woman's Champion and I really wish she was in Lucha Underground instead of Sexy Star. Joe Lider has two title belts and he wears one of them around his waist backwards while he wrestles. There were good triple teams by both sides and Taya hit a huge plancha to the outside at one point. Super Fly pinned Faby Apache for the win and since it is his music we get to hear Marilyn Manson once more.
At this point in time, they replayed the four way match that saw El Mesias qualify for the Rey de Reyes finals. I could understand if this was from a time longer ago but it was from the first part of this same show, which has simply been divided into two when posted on YouTube. Imagine if WWE started showing a match from the beginning of the show again later on in the show in almost its entirety during their three hour long Raws. Actually, I hope I'm not giving them ideas.
Match Six: Hijo del Fantasma / Hijo del Perro Aguayo / Pentagon Jr. vs. Myzteziz / Psycho Clown / Fenix
So aside from the replay of the El Mesias win there have been a total of three matches in Part 2 and they have all been trios matches. Whatever. This match was full of talent as it had six of the most talented luchadores in the entire world in it. As one would expect this broke down into just an all out brawl. Fantasma, Perro and Pentagon Jr. make for a great rudo team and all, but can it really get any better than Myzteziz, Psycho Clown and Fenix? There are very few men I would want to represent AAA in some sort of universal trios tournament than those three. (I *might* be willing to substitute Psycho Clown with Alberto El Patron and *maybe* Fenix with Drago but those are only if there are injuries or something, but yeah, these feel like the top three luchadores on the AAA roster for sure) Naturally, the good guys win and the bad guys lose (as the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song reminds us of) so a nice end to this portion of Lucha Libre AAA Sin Limite.
A promo in English once again for Brian Cage, who will not be likely facing an injured Alberto El Patron tonight, and one last promo for Rey de Reyes as well.
