sek69 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 AAA has partnered with Twitch to offer Triplemania live 8/26 at 8pm est. There's two official channels, the main feed in Spanish (LuchaLibreAAA) and a second one with English commentary (luchalibreaaa_en). Just a heads up for anyone who wants to watch the show since Dr. Wagner vs Psycho Clown should be a pretty big event. Quote
Sean Liska Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 I know it's AAA, but still, nothing in wrestling like an epic mask vs mask match with an unpredictable outcome. Should be dramatic as hell, I'll be watching. Quote
bucky Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 Is there really any doubt about Wagner going over? I can't see AAA having enough money to pay him to drop the mask. Quote
sek69 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Posted August 26, 2017 A local AAA promoter leaked a flyer advertising Wagner's first appearance without the mask, and it wouldn't be unheard of for AAA to fuck up like this so we'll see. Quote
Sean Liska Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 Just give me a sliver of a doubt, let me have my fun tonight, love a big apuestas match. Quote
sek69 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Posted August 26, 2017 Full card per the WO site if anyone wants to check it out: Llave de Gloria final Mascara de Bronce & Big Mami & Dinastia & Estrella Divina vs. Hernandez & Hiedra & Mini Psycho Clown & Mamba Dark Cuervo & Dark Scoria defend AAA tag titles against DJZ & Andrew Everett, Drago & Aerostar and Monsther Clown & Murder Clown Sexy Star vs. Lady Shani vs. Rosemary vs. Ayako Hamada for AAA Reina de Reinas title Pagano vs. Mesias street fight Torneo TripleMania 25 lumberjack match with La Parka, Bengala, Argenis, Australian Suicide, Faby Apache, Pimpinela Escarlata, Averno, Chessman, Super Fly, Bobby Lashley, Moose, Jeff Jarrett, Scorpio Jr., Zumbido, Decnis, Psicosis (not the original), Maniaco, Histeira, Joe Lider, Halloween, Mr. Aguila, Crazy Boy, Nino Hamburguesa, Lanzeloth, Intocable, Blue Demon Jr., Pirata Morgan, Heavy Metal, Villano IV and a surprise final participant Johnny Mundo defends AAA Mega heavyweight, AAA cruiserweight and Latin American heavyweight titles against El Hijo del Fantasma and El Texano Jr. in a ladder match Psycho Clown vs. Dr. Wagner Jr. mask vs. mask Quote
WingedEagle Posted August 26, 2017 Report Posted August 26, 2017 For those that follow AAA, is anything on the show interesting beyond the main event? Quote
sek69 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 The semi main will probably be a fun spotfest, the Pagano/Mesias match will be a violent brawl if that's something you're into. The women could be fun since Sexy Star is pretty much luchadora Roman Reigns at this point. They're doing the finals of Llave de Gloria now and it's pretty fun, it's the lucha equivalent to a Young Lions match in NJPW. Quote
sek69 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 Now that Cornette works for GFW, no one better tell him they partner with a company that does man/woman/exoticio/mini 8 person tag matches. Quote
hammerva Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 I decided to switch to the Twitch channel on Roku with original commentary cause Twitch on web was slow and an ads nightmare that PWInsider would have found excessive. Plus while the english commentary wasn't Matt Striker bad it didn't sound like they knew what the hell was going on either Holy fuck I thought those pre show matches were sloppy as fuck but this woman's match is sure up there. Man Sexy Star doesn't sell for shit in this match. Rosemary seems completely confused by what is going on here. Quote
Al Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 Free wrestling, interested to check this out. We're in an age where we can now watch Mexican and Japanese wrestling live with little hassle. What a golden age. Quote
Matt D Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 CMLL is free live streaming arena footage three times a week. Quote
sek69 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 AAA puts their TV show up on YouTube weekly too. Also the show hasn't been too bad so far. Certainly going better than their US PPV disaster a few years ago. Quote
sek69 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 Sexy Star and Lady Shani were apparently shooting in the womens' match and Sexy hurt Rosemary with the finishing armbar. Quote
hammerva Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 Yeah she kept that finisher on Rosemary way too long after the tap. given how sloppy Rosemary was in the match (although to be fair all the women were) I wondered if it was a receipt. I haven't seen much of Sexy Star in AAA but after that showing I can see why she is extremely disliked now Quote
KawadaSmile Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 If those reports are true, then I don't think it was a receipt at all. Quote
hammerva Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 I assume this is the AAA version of the New Japan Tokyo Dome Rumble match except that they are including lumberjacks with them as well. It is complete chaos but really entertaining. Feel sorry for anyone listening to the english commentary with this going on Holy shit Jeff Jarrett is a mess physically. I mean he is getting good cheap heat with the crowd but man. Quote
sek69 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 I think Sexy Star went in thinking shit was going to go down since everyone is upset at her and Rosemary was just caught in the crossfire. Quote
sek69 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 This is an odd dynamic in the main event since Wagner is ostensibly the heel but he's also the legend fans don't want to see lose. Quote
hammerva Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 I know I am showing my supreme lucha libre ignorance here but I never understood why you have rip about 80% of the mask off of someone in a mask vs mask match. Obviously you need it for the blood but you really should be able to tell who someone is now. Unless the identity isn't that important but the character and aura the mask gives you that is the real prize Quote
sek69 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Posted August 27, 2017 Pretty much, the mask is the prize. Plus it's a way to get heat when you're disrespecting someone by tearing up the mask. Quote
Strummer Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 Sexy Star and Lady Shani were apparently shooting in the womens' match and Sexy hurt Rosemary with the finishing armbar. saw the finish. As unprofessional as it gets. God damn Quote
Tim Cooke Posted August 27, 2017 Report Posted August 27, 2017 Tryout trios on preshow was as good of a spotfest as I've seen in years Quote
bucky Posted August 28, 2017 Report Posted August 28, 2017 Is that dark match trios available to watch anywhere? For that matter, is the show up as a VOD on Twitch still? Quote
