This weekend the CMLL and AAA on my parent's dish....
I'll use TheCubFan's report to give my reaction to the CMLL, when it's posted, but I can say this about AAA.
Bleh.
Whats with the midgets and guys dressed up like bugs?
Why did that guy paint himself red like that?
It's like watching a parody of wrestling, which is something in itself. The first match used a folding chair that appeared to be made out of tin foil, and STILL no one took a decent bump from it.
The big shining light was Hector Garza. What the hell are you doing there, man? Get out ASAP! He's got the Rudo role down pat, plus he was so obviously out of the other's league it was sad.

Yeah, the thing about AAA is, it's not very good. A fair amount of the wrestlers seem to be there more to have sex with Antonio Pena than to be good at wrestling. Some of the rest look like they're just in search of a paycheck to buy some more drugs (Heavy Metal basically looks like Negro Casas after years and years of heroin. Although the other Casas brother, Felino, looks like Negro after years of donuts).
Although occasionally AAA reaches the deepest void of wrestling. When Los Payasos fought Los Vatos Locos, or, for those not in the know, when the Clowns fought the guys dressed like KISS, it just left me stunned. The true midget division rules, though. The guys like Cuije (the little ladybug guy) and the midget Payaso suck it hard, but Mascarita Sagrada and La Parkita are pretty much beyond most of the regular-sized guys. Unless El Dandy started showing up.
I have found the only way to be able to survive AAA tv is to watch it MST3K style. Mind you, it ends up sounding like Dr. Forrester & TV's Frank riffing at the end of "Castle of Fu Manchu" when I do it, but it does help.
Is Oscar Sevilla still around in AAA? He was one of the others I could tolerate in a non-trainwreck factor.
