That match sounds awesome, but what I'm also seeing, a Canek singles match? Is that the same near-70 Canek that could barely move in that terrible CMLL match B&V reviewed like a decade ago, or is there someone young and talented re-using that name?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

no its literally him

and Psycho Clown isnt exactly known for his ability to carry



even with the mask...

edit: and yet it may still be better than Blue Demon Jr v Rayo de Halisjco Jr

It's part of a "loser loses their mask" tournament, with the loser advancing

To quote myself, "It's an odd field. Penta is 37, Psycho Clown is 36, everyone else is not so young. Canek is 69, Ultimo is 55, Rayo de Jalisco Jr is 62, Villano VI will be 57 by the time the tournament starts, Blue Demon Jr is 55 & LA Park is 56."

It has high trainwreck potential, which is a good 50% of what you want from AAA.

Apparently the semi-finals are June 18 & the finals are October 15th & there are 3 Triplemania shows this year. I cannot pretend to understand but this one is Monterrey, June is Tijuana & October is Mexico City

Right, the mask loser tournament, had already forgotten about that, and despite the ages in some of the others, none even stood out that much to me aside from the Canek match. At least it's not a single-show tournament, imagining a finale between Canek and Rayo de Jalisco Jr with those guys having to work 3 matches in one day each.

you just know that someone will bail on this before the finish line by demanding more money and somehow the finals will be Chessman v Rey Escorpion

Ultimo can still go, but I don't see him losing a lot so he'll probably only get 1-2 matches max.

Wasn't it LA Park who also put a glass bottle in the back of a referee's pants and then broke the bottle or something insane like that? Also at an MLW show, maybe?

I can't seem to find anything about that story now but it was probably a couple years back now. Maybe it wasn't LA Park at all, but for some reason his name comes to mind.

Here is Cubsfan's preview for Triplemania Monterrey.

I am going to do a ban :toxx: that there will be more WMOTYC nominee matches than HM or MOTYC matches combined (excluding my nominations of course).

The old man matches seem especially dire except Ultimo Dragon vs Pentagon Jr and Vikingo/Fenix vs Bucks is the only match that looks like it could be really good.

Disagree with Cubsfan's ceiling of "fine" for Penta/Ultimo. Penta never mails it in, and while Ultimo mostly does multi-man sprints in DG, he's still really, really good and he loves working in Mexico. Dream match, at least for me.

Penta loves to mail it in, he was famous for it on the indies. He's a guy who can get away with some taunts and poses and a few big spots. Ultimo is broken down and extremely hit or miss with some hilarious misses, some of them on his Dragonmania shows in Mexico.

Edit: and the most fun Penta matches involve bumping something Ultimo doesn't like to do too much!

Per the article regarding Sammy and Tay: "At least the mixed tag match has been built on social media, though that build is “AAA’s booking makes no sense.” The initially scheduled setup had Latigo & Maravilla, Octagon Jr. & Sexy Star (the second one), and AEW’s Sammy Guevara & Tay Conti as three teams. Guevera & Conti are in AAA specifically and only because they want to win the mixed tag titles and later realized the current champions (Arez & Chik Tormenta) weren’t in the match. The AEW couple posted a promo threatening not to come to Monterrey unless that changed. Conti’s also doing a running bit of confusing Arez with Austin Aries, which seemed to annoy the champions enough into accepting, turning this into a four0way match. "

That's cool that in AAA Tay gets a bit more room to flex her muscles promo wise in being a heel in Mexico, since Spanish is her second language while English is her third.

Yes; at the same time, someone being hurt in no way will stop a lucha company from giving a name a belt, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wins anyway (they're apparently already in the area, so if it's significant, it still wasn't enough to stop him)

Can always have Arez and Tormenta attack Sammy and Tay early and temporarily eliminate them from the match, spend most of the time on the outside, and then have Tay come in and steal a pin on a fallen Tormenta, like the cowardly heels they are.
