anyone else watch TRIPLEMANIA?

Playin' Cap'n Save-A-Hoe can't be what's hot on The Coli now...

To the Villanos.

It was a bad show but AAA has had a history of this when they've tried to stream Triplemania before and they've blamed on who was their service provider when broadcasting. Now they have no excuses as it was all on them. I thought they had worked it out after the Lucha World Cup but nope. Same ole AAA.

The main event was different from what I expected but it was good until Rey won with La Mistica.


I've always followed Lucha news but the last year and a half I've been watching a lot more lucha including matches from indie promotions in Mexico. I've been trying since I see so many ppl rave about lucha and it doesn't make sense at times.

Meltzer gave Villanos vs Psycho Circus the dreaded MINUS FIVE STARS

Here's the review:

Los Villanos III & IV & V beat The Psycho Circus in 11:06. Before the match they honored Tropicasas as this was to be his final match as referee. It would have been a billion times better if he ran in as a the face ref at the end of the Alberto match. Striker compared Tropicasas to Terry Funk. I think the only thing the two have in common is they each wear handbands and both have been around wrestling for 50 plus years. Marisela Pena, the owner of AAA, was almost in tears when Tropicasas came out. I believe he is the only person left from the first AAA show ever in 1992. Konnan and Mysterio were there from the start, but they both left after a few years and then came back whereas Tropicasas was always there. They did a photo feature on the screen of Los Villanos, including showing their father, Ray Mendoza, one of the biggest stars in Lucha Libre history. Los Villanos came out wearing their masks even though two of them had lost the masks. They made a deal with the commission that for the final match they could wear their masks from their heyday as long as they unmasked in the ring after the match.

The Circus had the most elaborate ring entrance with circus performers around the ring including unicycle riders. Crowd was hot for both teams at the start, although you’d never know it from television. Villano V was terribly overweight. This was a terrible match with no heat. Villano III had a stroke several months back and couldn’t do anything. The crowd was forgiving, because it was Villano III’s last match and he is a legend. At one point, Villano III tagged in, and apparently suffered a dizzy spell and fell down. This wasn’t a sell. They started doing weapons spots. They kept pushing how the Alvarado family and Mendozas were one of the biggest feuds in Mexico. Psycho Clown, who I believe is the only clown who is a member of the Alvarado family, used a diving head-butt on Villano III, but refused to pin him on two different occasions, with the idea he respected him too much to beat him in his last match. The live crowd had no idea what he was doing. They didn’t understand the story. Villano IV then used a low blow to pin one of the Clowns. The post-match was touching with the clowns hugging Tropicasas. Villano III and V unmasked. The ring filled with members of the Villano family including younger kids with Villano masks on. Joaquin Roldan (Marisela Pena’s husband who plays the face authority figure) thanked Villano. Tropicasas was in tears when he left the ring. The idea behind this was to build a Villano V vs. Psycho Clown mask vs. mask match, although that didn’t come across at all on PPV. I was scared that if they unmasked Villano V it would be Psycho’s father under the mask (Porky). The Psycho Circus led Villanos chants when it was over. The post-match was good, but as for the match, -*****

I thought Alberto vs Cage would be good... should i skip this show? Or is it just because Ultima Licha was fantastic that this show fails in comparison?

TripleMania was just a terrible show. If you're going to check it, I can only recommend the last two matches, which were from OK (Alberto/Cage) to very good (Mysterio/Myzteziz)

Ultima Lucha was superior in terms of story (Don't know if it is because I don't follow AAA that much, but I've read everywhere that most of TripleMania's card was just slapped together almost at the end without much history), quality of matches and production quality.

And yes, Psycho Clown is Porky's son. But fortunately, he didn't seem to inherit his genes, unlike Porky's daughter, Goya Kong, who also wrestled here.

Man, the show was bad. It was plagued with audio issues I liked the two main events but the issues and the lack luster performances made it hard to watch in full.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

I need to see that Villanos match.

this was maybe the worst ppv ive ever seen,and i saw heroes of wrestling live

not one postive memorable moment
it was a car wreck start to finish

i checked it out based on the positive feedback of lucha underground and since i listen to court bauer and konans podcast on mlw

and now i cant take their opinions anymore
thet do reviews and feedback everyweek ,and you think they know what they're talking about but they produce and book this shyt

They both work for AAA breh. You wasnt gonna get an honest opinion out of them
