Quick AAA TV Thoughts from 9/3/06:
The first three matches in the Luchando para un Sueno tournament were pretty weak. Super Fly/Kaoma Jr. in particular only went about 3 minutes. Fly averages 6 backflips per 3 minutes in ANY MATCH but for some reason here all he did was a missed moonsault off the top. Laredo Kid was made to be the star of the first night and he did a bunch of fancy flips during the Mr. Condor match. Then he almsot killed Condor with a second rope springboard tornillo splash and finally he went for the Laredo 630 but ended up coming down full force with a headbutt on Condor's balls. Ever since Rey De Reyes, Laredo has hurt Mr. Condor *3* times with that spot. Maybe it's time to stop. SHOCKINGLY... and this is a huge rarity for AAA... it was the upper card guys who stepped it up big time to make up for the disapointing opening matches. Alebrije/Triple A/Elegido against the Aliens were fantastic. I'm not sold on the fact any of the Aliens are The Monster though. They seem to be veteran luchadors though b/c they were bumping like professionals and always in the right spot. Alebrije and Triple A in particular had GREAT exchanges on multiple occasions. The little Aliens is named Andros and he is definitely the ex-Chucky. Aliens won to establish themselves and I'm excited for the rematch! Atomicos Titles between La Secta and the MexPower was more angle than anything. Chessman's teammates refused to let him help them a lot of the time. Escoria once again worked with only one arm as his other shoulder can't be moved. Two weeks straight of this and a third one coming against Lider and Crazzy Boy. Now THAT is extreme, putting your life in their hands with a serious injury! Dave Meltzer always says Juventud is a world-class worker and could be one of the top 10 guys in the world if he wanted to. So what does it say when Chessman outshines him as he did in this match? La Secta won clean. Match had few highspots than I'd have predicted but they have a rematch next week. The semi-main was another fantastic match with Porky, Oriental and Zorro against the Guapos minus Shocker. Oriental looked as motivated as I've seen him since May. He did a gigantic tope suicida where he and Zumbido crashed ONTO the announcers table. Later he busted out a rarely seen ringpost moonsault!!! The Porky/Scorpio stuff was even interesting. Main event was way above average from the usual AAA standard. If you combine all that with a REALLY HOT CROWD, it was a fantastic show overall. I just hope the dream tournament matches next week are a little better.
