Cien Caras vs. MS-1 (hair vs hair, AAA 8/13/93)

This was a disappointment. Not because of anything the wrestlers did inside the ring but because of the booking. The first two falls ended in DQs due to the seconds and the third fall finished with some Tirantes fast count bullshit. This is the type of thing that made me hate AAA. They couldn't trust Caras and MS-1 to work a compelling and dramatic apuestas match on their own? Caras and MS-1 ended up working a bunch of holds that were more reminiscent of a title match than an apuestas but they were the only good thing about this shit show.

Hijo Del Espectro, Jerry Estrada & La Parka vs. El Cobarde, Picudo & Pirata Morgan (AAA, 10/1/93)

Fun little clip that sets up Pirata Morgan vs. Estrada. It looks like only the first fall aired on television (unless it was a one fall match.) There was a decent amount of action for a single fall. Pirata spent the entire clip wearing a pirate shirt. His exchanges with Estrada showed promise, but I have no idea how or why Morgan chose Picudo and El Cobarde as his partners. Such an odd trio.

Cien Caras, Jerry Estrada & Mascara Ano 2000 vs. Fishman, Pirata Morgan & Satanico (AAA, 10/22/93)

This started off with Morgan and Estrada brawling, but it was somewhat uninspiring considering they had a match the following week. Things didn't pick up until Masacara Ano 2K and Satanico remembered that they hated each other. That led to a miscue between Morgan and Satanico, planting the seeds for their hair match. To be honest, their scuffle after the bout was more interesting than anything that happened during the match. I was kind of bummed that they dropped the Estrada issue cold. It wouldn't surprise me if their match is used to advance the storyline between Pirata and Satanico.
