it's sad that flamita has to endure this just to curtain jerk in mixed tag matches so that AAA can retain the rights to a character they were never going to do anything with in the first place but hey thats mexico

Could be worse. If he was a bigger star like Del Rio or Mistico, they'd be booked in the same matches 20 times a year in Mexico, with the same being done if they ever go to the US, until one died or quit because "the real heat sells"

I cannot believe that is a legitimate thing I just typed. This is the wackiest lucha week

Dave posted:

After all that happened last week, Octagon announced that he was debuting his son who will use the name El Hjio del Octagon. It should be noted that AAA owns the rights to the Octagon name. It also should be noted that it had always been said that Octagon only had daughters. Octagon held a press conference and claimed he had three sons, with the oldest, who is 24, debuting with the name.

He said he also had teenage twins who will also be getting into wrestling. El Hijo del Octagon is said to be a Mexico City independent wrestler who doesn’t have a big name and isn’t Octagon’s son. However, the twins that were at the press conference are said to be Octagon’s sons. Super Luchas explained all this by claiming Octagon had three sons with a woman wrestler whose name was not revealed, although the belief is that only the twins were his sons.

Josh Mathews is poo poo, Matt Striker is poo poo. Why can't AAA get any, you know, good announcers to call their PPVs?

Why would they want to go do AAA's stuff

Seriously, I don't think appeal has been there since the disaster of Triplemania. I certainly can't imagine that after that farce, let alone everything else that's happened since, that they have much bargaining leverage for foreign market commentators

Did you watch the show? The whole thing was trash except the final match which was passable. Also like half of the guys on the show aren't with the company anymore.

And there were technical/audio issues galore, with commentary (Striker and Savinovich) visibly looking like they had no clue what to do and Striker occasionally leaving to talk with production to see for help

The Triplemania card looks pretty awesome. That said, the spacing between names on that poster is weird in places, and after rereading the card I'm sad that there is no wrestler (or actual serpent) called 'Australian Suicide Mamba'.

Also, didn't Hernandez burn his bridges with AAA, or was that solely with Lucha Underground.

It was just LU. It was the TNA/LU fuckup

Is this how German wrestling fans feel when non-German wrestlers break out a Nazi gimmick?

There was a lot of hate for JBL goose-stepping there, IIRC

I found a translated part of that interview he did, http://ligerfever.tumblr.com/post/152163898944/jack-evans-interviewed-by-alejandro-gim%E9nez-of

quote:

I maintained a close relationship with Konnan. I do not want to get into trouble, but this must be said… The company was 100 times better when he was the booker be honest. The television product is very bad without Konnan. AAA does not motivate it’s wrestlers. Sorry Dorian, you know I love you (laughs). Konnan was about to give me the Pentagon match for the ‘mask against hair’ but then it was it was canceled. That has been the story with AAA since. Things started and ended without really knowing why.

There's a documentary on Netflix just recently added called Lucha Mexico, looks like Perro Jr. is a focus, I assume it's from a couple years ago

It was talked about in this thread a bit ago I believe, it finally released in theaters this summer https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lucha_mexico/
