AAA Report  Oct. 5, 1992   Broadcast on Galavision (Galaxy 1 ch. 19)
from Queretaro, Queretaro DF; Rivera, Morales, Bermudez announcing;
initial discussion of Fishman as rudo.
 
Match 1:  rudos:  El Picudo, Heavy Metal, Psicosis
          technicos: Mister Magneto, Super Calo, Winner
 
Primera:  highlight:  Super Calo pinned Psicosis with a flying body
          press from the post, this after two tilt-a-whirls in a row on
          Picuda.
Secunda:  highlight:  Psicosis dq'ed after (I think) jabbing Super Calo
          in the eyes trying to get his mask off.
 
Comments: Mister Magneto is, I think, new, and a major effort was being
made to get him over.  He's not very flashy, though.  Psicosis wasn't
as hot as he can be; on a good night he's one of the best on the planet.
This match was full of tilt-a-whirls; I counted seven.
 
Match 2:  rudos: Rocco Valente, Tony Arce, Vulcano
          technicos: Rey Misterio, Jr; Volador; Misterioso
 
Primera:  highlight: Misteriosos triple teamed, but outcome of caida
          obscured by commercial (!) Rudos took it, apparently
Secunda:  Misterioso did a back somersault shooting star from the top
          rope for a pin on (I think) Rocco.  Incredible move.
Tercera:  highlight:  Only Misterio in ring, tripled again; rudos tried
          to wedge mask off Misterio and were dq'ed.  Outside ring, RMJ took
          a pretty brutal thrashing.
 
Comments:  I hate this rudo team; they all look the same, work the same, and
wear identical outfits and masks.  This tends to confuse those of us with weak
Spanish skills...  also, I was surprised that the same ending was used in both
matches...
 
AAA rankings:  technico # 1 -- Lizmark
               rudo # 1 -- Martha Villalobos
               pareja  -- Konnan / Perro Aquaya
               trio -- Los Dinamita
               relevante -- La Briosa losing mask to Martha Villalobos
               lance -- the "wookie shooting star" from last week
 
Match 3:  rudos: Ice Killer, Jerry Estrada, Blue Panther
          technicos: Hijo de Lizmark, Hijo de la Tineablas, Super Astro
 
Primera:  highlights: Super Astro did a back somersault into a Frankensteiner
          onto Estrada; also did his flying backwards shoulder block out of
          a somersault onto (I think) Panther.
Secunda:  highlights: Lizmark did a very stiff tilt-a-whirl on Estrada;
          Super Astro yielded in a submission side-stretch by Panther.
Tercera:  Ice Killer lost his mask, but got it back on; Super Astro got
          Panther in a Frankensteiner to a small package.
 
Comments:  Super Astro looks to me to be about 5'6" or so (Estrada is 5'9",
and towers over SA), but what a worker. As good as Psicosis / Octagon etc. are,
I'd rather watch Astro than anybody in AAA / EMLL and like him as well as
anyone in Japan... Also, SA has a new mask covered with (surprise) shooting
stars...
 
Match 4:  rudos: Espanto Jr., Mascara Ano 2000, Fishman
          technicos: Hijo de Santo, Lizmark, Perro Aguayo
 
Primera:  Stiff for AAA.  High point was _stiff_ posting of Aguayo, after
          which Aguyo got mask from Ano 2000.
Secunda:  Fishman's mask tore, and you could see his face; Espanto tried to
          bite off Santo's mask; Aguayo juiced from forehead; Fishman took
          what looked like a potato chair shot from Santos (right on the skull,
          with nothing intervening); Santos dove through second / third rope
          onto Espanto; Aguayo pinned by Ano 2000 after second stiff chair
          shot.  Afterwards, Aguayo promised revenge on Mascara ano 2000.
Comments: As stiff as AAA gets.  More juice than in a while on AAA.  Aguayo
reminds me for some reason of Dory Funk Jr.  Most realistic chair shot since
Sting nailed Cactus Jack by accident...  No real standout match, but pretty
entertaining.  No Konnan, no Octagon, but Super Astro makes up for it...
