I haven't really wanted to review AAA. It is so far gone that I legit think it's not even wrestling at this point.

Thoughts: It was spotfest as expected here. There was no way it was going to be anything else. The ref botched a count here and the commentary mics seemed to go out near the end of this. There were some cool spots but that's about it.

Original Psychosis talks on the stage and Rey Mysterio had a greeting video for him.

Vamps buddies then come to help out.

Vamp low blows Mesias then spin kicks him into the casket. Vamp closes the lid on Mesias. The casket gets surrounded by flames then Vamp wins.

Thoughts: It was hilarious watching various people come out to beat up Vampiro randomly. This was all smoke and mirrors with the match never getting in the ring and Mesias only being out there for a few minutes. I thought they did an okay job with it though but this is something that needed some English translations to explain.

Vamp then talks in Spanish after.

Thoughts: This was a weird one. I have no idea who the heel and face was here. It had lots of shenanigans with refs not allowing chair shots but allowing people to use tables and doors, people getting drinks thrown in their faces and low blows. Oddly, there was no interference in this one. I didn't think it was too good and found the logic of it really hard to follow.

Latin Lover gives Patron the belt after. Patron beats him up and leaves him laying. Patron poses over him and talks on the mic. Konnan comes out with a bat and gives it to Lover. Konnan then low blows Lover (turning for the second time on the show) and hits him with a trash can lid. Patron hits him with it and Lover gets busted open.

Thoughts: The match was shorter, so it never got boring, but was not an epic. People escaped pretty quick and it was mostly just hardcore wrestling. The camera's missed a bunch of spots. Dave being lifted out was a cool spot and I was surprised Psic was unmasked over Fiscal or over someone losing their hair. It was obvious Ciber was not going to get a haircut though. I liked the match and thought they worked around some of the weaknesses of the match well.

Overall thoughts: It wasn't a good show as expected. The main worked and Vampiro's match (if you want to call it that) worked too. The undercard had tons of interference and open weapons usage. Nic/Patron didn't make much sense. Riddle's match was a spotty threeway. Konnan turning twice in one night was also something. The camera work was also terrible as usual with them missing big spots and even missing some of Psicosis' unmasking. I wouldn't recommend this.
