Del Rio and a big ugly advertising screen that makes Wrestlemania look acceptable, no way I'm paying to watch either.

Which is a shame as it feels like AAA(/Lucha in general) should be having a moment with the talent they have, crossovers and actually being accessible.

Shit if I were one of the wrestler's in that cage match, I would just eliminate myself first

It's escape rules. Whoever doesn't escape have to fight mask vs mask.

It'd he funny, but really piss the fans off, if it was down to three, and the final three decide to all climb out at the same time so AAA can't make them compete for their masks.

this is a different Pentagon Jr. right? That's why Penta had to change his name?

But yeah, Alberto on a card in 2023 is a big L. Only in Mexico. lol

Sadly it’s not only in Mexico as Alberto has worked north of the border as recently as March 30. It’s a shame too because that match was co-promoted by Jesse Hernandez who has a great reputation of the So-Cal scene and helped train Frankie Kazarian, Melina, and many others. I would’ve thought he’d have better judgment.

4 great talents in that main event...should be a banger!



Shame about Alberto El F***head being on the card.

It’s the same guy.  The story of his name usage is just wacky AAA nonsense.  Basically…they own the name so he uses it there.  He used to use it in places where AAA was affiliated too.  For example, he was Pentagon Jr through his whole Impact run.  But when he’d work a company that wasn’t partnered with AAA he’d use a different name.  He eventually decided to just trademark a different name to use everywhere else even though he could use it in AEW if he wanted to because they’re partners with AAA too.  That way whenever he’s on a show in the US his name is consistent with the one he has on national tv.  In AAA he’s established as Pentagon Jr so he still goes by it

Oh guys....I'm not watching Alberto La Mierda either.....but hell of a main event though.

I can tolerate Alberto, I guess, for this purpose. Kind of funny they teamed him with Pentagon, given those rumors he refused to put Pentagon Jr. over in LU.

It’s a mini tournament of teams made up of rivals.  They have to work together…and whichever team of rivals loses twice will have a hair vs hair or hair vs mask or mask vs mask match at the third event.  It’s losers advance in the tournament because you don’t want to advance.  Winning is how you save your hair/mask.  If you lose twice you have a singles match against your partner hair/mask.  It’s confusing because it’s AAA.  They did a singles tournament last year that was losers advance and everyone was angry at it because it’s counterintuitive.  But that’s what they do.
