AAA Verano de Escandalo 2019

Last night's free AAA show was fun, and this is one of their bigger shows of the year. Hugo starts the show off with drowned-out commentary before threatening viewers by letting them know about the English team and then we get a second of guys doing moves before the frame freezes. The three commentators get to share two mics - so that'll be interesting. I would ask why it sounds like they're playing AAA's theme from a boom box - but they probably are doing just that.

Chika Tormenta is out, followed by Keyra then Lady Shani and her daughter, and the screen goes dark during the belt presentation. THEN THE FIVE MINUTE COUNTDOWN CLOCK COMES BACK. It comes back after the entire coutndown plays to a near-fall. Shani gets a wacky lucha submission on. Shani gets a northern lights 2. Keyra hits a double stomp and stacks Shani up to pin her and win the title.

Lucha Bros come down. PENTA uses the mic as a drum to lead a Cero Miedo chant. Konnan grabs the mic from Penta and has a chair. Bucks come out and jump the Lucha Bros. El Hijo del Terantes gets his own intro, because of course he does. He's working and looks to be in shape - and ridiculous.

He's working Faby Apache, and lands a back elbow. Fabi eats a beating from Tormenta, but ducks a cookie sheet shot and it hits Tormenta. AAA is getting a better reaction for Faby beating up a heel referee with a cookie sheet than WWE could hope to get for Roman Reigns, who they have put over as God for five years. He fakes her out and KICKS HER ASS. Faby lands a buzzsaw kick.and a rana gets 2. Faby gets 2 off a la majistral and Hugo is in hysterics. Tormenta eats an angel's wings and then Faby lands a trash can shot to win.

I appreciate Australian Suicide stepping out of a time machine from 2003. Shocked he isn't sponsored by SSX and Crazy Taxi. Sammy yells into the feed explaining that AS told fans to check out his Youtube channel. Sammy looks great and they're facing Maximo and Mamba. Maximo hits on everyone and sets the heels up for failure with comedy. Heels work over Mamba, but get outsmarted. The faces force the heels to kiss, then land a pair of bad dropkicks and topes. The exoticos hit dueling swantons for 2. Mamba eats a rana in such a way that both Hogan and Goldberg's sandbag chokeslams can mock.  AS hits a 450 and Sammy wins with an SSP on Mamba.

A video plays twice with the audio a second behind on one feed - so it's got a weird echo. Tessa's theme from the Impact Youtube channel, with the bell ringing before it plays, is used. She's teaming with her boyfriend Daga and they're dressed alike - and look great. Laredo Kid  The 24/7 Title is so bad that AAA's belts may actually be better than it. Taya's out with Laredo.

Taya and Tessa start,, thank God and then Daga and Kid just start doing shit. Heels land codebreakers and backstabbers on Taya for 2. Laredo lands a 450 on Daga, but Tessa kicks him off at 1 and lands a run-up corner codebreaker. Taya lands a northern lights for 2 before Daga double stomps her. Laredo lands a super spanish fly on Daga for the win.

Killer Kross comes out with Scarlett. to team with Chessman and Monster Clown against Aero Star, Pagano, and Puma King. Puma King has to have the most shit look in the industry right now. At least they toned down the staircase tonight so people aren't at constant risk of falling and breaking something just coming to the ring.

 WHATTHEFUCK tope outta nowhere by Aerostar! Aerostar dives OFF THE TOP OF THE FUCKING LIGHTING RIG and kinda lands on everyone, but gets dropped. Don't do shit like that. Puma King hits a super rana off the top through chairs to win. Kross destroys Puma King with a backdrop driver and powerbomb.

 Another echo chamber video airs.Mercenaries vs. Vikingo, Parka, and Myzteziz Jr is up. Myzteziz badly messes up an SSP, but winds up hitting other wacky shit. Parka just...slowly walks away from the corner and a heel goes tumbling ass over tea kettle - as ya do. Heels eat a beating and an inverted 450 on La Hiedra wins, but the male heels take over and destroy Vikingo with a chair.

Lucha Bros vs. the Bucks is up next.. Bucks set up a double superkick, but eat a pair.  Fenix hits another crazy dive into the crowd. Double sharpshooter to the Lucha bros! More craziness and then I get an ad and it's over with the Lucha Bros winning. A replay shows it being the double-stomp/package piledriver finish - and that's a great way to end it. Crowd's super-happy. Now it's time for the actual main event, which will need help following that. Blue Demon Jr and Taurus face off with Wagner and Psycho Clown.

This starts off as a big walk and brawl with Demon and Wagner. Psycho blocks a backdrop with a kick to Dumon that Taurus also sells for some reason. Wagner's hair is just ridiculously fake-looking, brother! Psycho lands a drop toehold onto a table for 2 and Taurus just smacks the shit out of his face on that. Psycho does some stripper dancing before a flip dive - because of course he does. Wagner Driver to Demon Jr. ends it!
