Van top rope meteora's Shani but the ref is out and can't count. Tirantes Sr. comes out and Shani iconoclasm's Van. Shani then northern lights suplexes her to win it.

This wasn't good. We had interference, weapons usage, refs purposely slow counting and people hitting the ref. There were botched spots, missed camera shots and lots of sloppiness all around.

They go up top then Pagano is hit by Black Taurus and someone else with a chair and cookie sheet. Vamp gets it too and Texano Jr. is the guy with Taurus. Estrellita gets slapped and takes a sitout powerbomb from Texano. Taurus swinging side slams Jack off a springboard then Armis and Pagano get beaten up. And that's it. No finish on this one.

This was garbage and some of the worst with AAA. Vamp got injured and looked near death. We had random run-in', cheating and weapons usage and the ref just sat by and watched. This match was so bad that I was legit upset when people were kicking out of moves.

Penta opens the ambulance and Solo sprays him with a fire extinguisher from it. Solo hits Penta with a light tube. QT hits a diamond cutter on the tube pieces on the ground then QT throws Penta in the ambulance and wins it.

It was a hardcore match that mostly just had weapons usage. It was fine though the big package piledriver spot through the tables was not done well. Both guys bled and Solo's usage worked. They did do a little too much with a canadian destroyer on the ground still not taking out the great QT Marshall. Some of this was impossible to see due to it happening in the crowd.

Guerra de Rivalidades Final Match - LA Park & Rush vs. Psycho Clown & Sam Adonis

Rush then chairs the ref for no real reason. Rush goes for a pin and Clown pulls the ref out and beats him up. Rush low blows Park and Sam fireballs Clown. We then get a double pin with Sam and Rush getting 3 counts.

This ended up being a draw. Just like the last time they did one of these, it was a headache inducing mess. It just made no sense. Partners beat up partners then beat up their opponents then both teams beat up the ref even though it was no DQ. The announced harped on how confusing this was and it was trash.

AAA Mega Title Match - El Hijo del Vikingo (c) vs. Kenny Omega 






Vik headflips out of an armlock. They trade shots in the corner and Vik spin kicks him. Vik botches a springboard hurricanrana spot and dropkicks him off the apron.

Kenny gets his knees up on a top rope ssp. Kenny then hits an electric chair into a wheelbarrow suplex for 2. Vik does a top rope poisonrana then a running meteora. Vik hits a top rope 630 and wins it.

Uh, this was like 100x better than their Dynamite match. Vik still did a few too many of his spots, but Kenny got all of his offense in first and then Vik made a comeback and did most of his. The big bump of the match - the top rope poisonrana, came right before the finish and there weren't a lot of bogus kickouts. It wasn't a classic, but it was much smarter than anything I've ever seen these two do and I didn't think it was that bad despite hating their last match. 

Overall thoughts: I only skipped 1 match and it was a pretty bad show overall. Just constant disasters with interference, weapons usage and 2 matches that went to a a no contest on one of the major shows of the year. Stay far away from this as this was some of Triple A at its worst.
