TripleMania XVIII TripleManía XVIII ( TripleManía 18 ) was a professional wrestling pay - per - view ( PPV ) event produced by the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración ( AAA ) promotion that took place on June 6 , 2010 at the " Palacio de los Deportes " ( " Sports Palace " ) in Mexico City , Mexico . The show featured eight with the main events being a " dream match " between L . A . Park and La Parka with the rights to the La Parka name on the line as well as Electroshock defending the AAA World Heavyweight Championship against Dr . Wagner , Jr . The show also featured a performance by El Tri , a Mexican blues / hard rock band after the wrestling portion of the show was over . All four title matches of the event saw the championship change hands , the show also featured appearances of wrestlers from competing wrestling promotions International Wrestling Revolution Group and Los Perros del Mal . The main event between L . A . Park and La Parka originally saw L . A . Park pin La Parka . Later on it was announced that the result thrown out by the Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission due to outside interference , ruling it a no - contest , but the decision was reversed the next day as AAA declared that L . A . Park had earned the rights to the name " La Parka " with his victory . However , three days later AAA announced that they would respect the Commission ' s decision and declared the match thrown out . Background . The event featured eight professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre - existing scripted feuds , plots and storylines leading up to the matches . The " Road to TripleManía " began at AAA ' s previous major event " Rey de Reyes " which featured the beginning of new storylines and major turning points in other ongoing feuds . The driving force leading into TripleManía was the developing " family feud " between AAA president Joaquin Roldan and his son Dorian . At " Rey de Reyes " Dorian Roldan turned on his father and stated that " a new era was about to begin " . Dorian Roldan sided with Konnan and his " La Legión Extranjera " and introduced the returning L . A . Park to the stunned audience . Following the " Rey de Reyes " event Dorian Roldan and Konnan introduced several " outsiders " who sided with " La Legión " including the Pro Wrestling Noah team of Takeshi Morishima and Taiji Ishimori who won the AAA World Tag Team Championship from " La Hermandad 187 " ( Nicho el Millonario and Joe Lider ) . Dorian Roldan was also instrumental in having Vampiro turn on Joaquin Roldan during an AAA show on April 18 , 2010 . During AAA ' s television taping on May 19 , 2010 Dorian Roldan said that his father did not deserve to run AAA since he was not a blood relative of Antonio Peña like he was , just married into the family . In one of the biggest stories of " lucha libre " in 2010 L . A . Park , the original La Parka , returned to AAA 13 years after he left the company on bad terms . In the intervening years then - AAA owner Antonio Peña had given the mask , outfit and ring name to a new wrestler , creating a second version of La Parka . Over the years AAA and the original Parka have been involved in a legal battle over the rights to the name , until reaching some sort of arrangement to work together again in 2010 . L . A . Park ' s target from the first night has been the new La Parka , claiming that he was just a pale imitation . During an AAA show on March 19 , 2010 L . A . Park attacked La Parka and threw him through a table . In order to maintain the illusion that L . A . Park did not actually work for AAA , thus enhancing the tension between the two characters , L . A . Park later claimed that he came to AAA to beat up La Parka , and since he had done that on March 19 he wasn ' t sure if he even felt like returning to AAA . L . A . Park did however return to an AAA ring as he had another brawl with La Parka on AAA ' s April 18 television taping . During the event La Parka challenged L . A . Park to a match at TripleManía XVIII , under any stipulation that the original Parka wanted . During AAA ' s television taping on April 30 , 2010 L . A . Park accepted La Parka ' s challenge for a match at TripleManía XVIII . At an AAA press conference on May 12 , 2010 it was announced that the match between the two would be for the rights to the name " La Parka " . The two signed the official contract for the match during a television taping on May 19 , 2010 . After signing the contract Dorian Roldan had the police arrest La Parka for piracy by impersonating La Parka . He was released just in time to run in during the semi - main event to attack L . A . Park . At " Rey de Reyes " Electroshock won the AAA World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Mr . Anderson and El Mesías . After the match Dr . Wagner , Jr . , leader of " Los Wagnermaníacos " a group Electroshock was part of , came to the ring to congratulate Electroshock , seemingly putting an end to the building tension between the two . On the March 19 show Dr . Wagner , Jr . asked Electroshock to give him a shot at the title , something which Electroshock turned down but instead offered to fight him right then and there . After the two were separated by security it was clear that Electroshock was no longer part of " Los Wagnermaniacos " . At a later show Silver King , Dr . Wagner , Jr . ' s brother , interfered in a fight between the two by attacking his brother , siding with Electroshock . Silver King stated that he chose friendship over family and was siding with Electroshock in the storyline . On April 26 , 2010 AAA confirmed on their website that Electroshock would defend the title against Dr . Wagner , Jr . In the lead up to the title match the two faced off in a Steel Cage match on May 19 , 2010 , a match that Electroshock won with the help of " Los Maniacos " , Silver King and Último Gladiador . In the days before TripleManía XVIII Silver King stated that their father , Dr . Wagner , had once told him that he was talented enough to not need the family name to make it in wrestling , while his brother needed all the help he could get , which was why he chose to give Dr . Wagner , Jr . the family name . At Héroes Inmortales III Sexy Star defeated Faby Apache , with the help of " La Legión Extranjera " , to win the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship . Following the match Sexy Star joined " La Legión " and began systematically targeting Faby and her sister Mari Apache . At the 2009 " Guerra de Titanes " Sexy Star defeated Faby Apache in a " Lucha de Apuesta " , hair vs . mask match forcing Faby Apache to have her hair cut after the match . During the winter of 2009 Cinthia Moreno returned to AAA and sided with the Apache sisters against " La Legión " . At the 2010 " Rey de Reyes " show the Apaches and Moreno defeated " La Legión " representatives Sexy Star , Rain and Christina Von Eerie . During one interview Sexy Star claimed that the Apaches and Cintia Moreno were nothing but maids , which led to AAA booking a match between Cinthia Moreno , Faby and Mari Apache against Sexy Star , Rain and Jennifer Blade in a match where the person pinned or submitted would have to be the winning team ' s slave for a month . Extreme Tiger and Alex Koslov had been feuding for over a year , in a storyline that centered around the AAA Cruiserweight Championship . It began with Koslov becoming the first ever AAA Cruiserweight champion on May 23 , 2009 , only to lose the belt to Extreme Tiger 23 days later at TripleManía XVII . Koslov regained the title at the 2009 " Verano de Escandalo 2009 " after turning " rúdo " . In the weeks following " Verano de Escandalo " Koslov lost a match that lead to him being fired ( in storyline terms ) and the title was vacated . Tiger went on to win the vacant title , only to be the target of Koslov as he returned to AAA as part of " La Legión Extranjera " . In April AAA announced that the AAA Cruiserweight Championship would be defended in a " Four Nations " battle featuring Extreme Tiger ( Mexico ) , Alex Koslov ( Russia ) , Christopher Daniels ( United States of America ) and Nosawa ( Japan ) . Daniels made his AAA debut during AAA ' s April 30 , 2010 television taping in a match where he ended up pinning Extreme Tiger . It was later announced that Jack Evans would replace Alex Koslov in the match , removing the " Four Nations " concept for the match . For over a year " rúdo " ( bad guy ) referee Hijo del Tirantes had been helping the " rúdos " win matches , deliberately overlooking any cheating and helping them win by counting faster than referees are supposed to during pinfalls . In the spring of 2010 referee Pierro finally spoke out about the biased refereeing and tried to put a stop to it . During AAA ' s April 30 , 2010 television taping it was announced that each referee would chose three wrestlers to represent them in a match at TripleManía XVIII where the hair of the referee was on the line . The six men involved in the match were announced at AAA ' s press conference on May 12 , 2010 . Pierro ' s team consisted of Heavy Metal , Octagón and Pimpinela Escarlata , while Hijo del Tirante ' s team featured Alex Koslov , Chessman and Hernandez . The May 12 , 2010 press conference confirmed two further matches and also announced that Total Nonstop Action Wrestling ' s ( TNA ) Abyss would wrestle on the show , but did not announce an opponent for him at that time . It was later announced that Abyss would team up with Cibernético to wrestle in an Extreme rules Tag Team match against El Zorro and Vampiro . The two further matches announced were for the AAA World Mini - Estrellas Championship and the AAA World Tag Team Championship respectively . The Mini - Estrellas title would be defended in a Tables , Ladders , and Chairs match featuring defending champion Mini Abismo Negro as well as Mini Charly Manson , Octagóncito , Mascarita Divina , Mini Psicosis , Mini Histeria and Mascarita Sagrada . The AAA World Tag Team Championship match was originally scheduled to feature then - current champions Takeshi Morishima and Taiji Ishimori defending against TNA representatives Beer Money , Inc . ( Robert Roode and James Storm ) and the winners of a tag team match between former champions " La Hermandad 187 " ( Nicho and Joe Lider ) and " Los Maniacos " ( Silver King and Último Gladiador ) . The match between the two teams ended in a draw , which at the time left it unclear which team , if any of the teams would wrestle at TripleManía XVIII . Two days later it was announced that both teams would wrestle at TripleManía XVIII making the tag team title match a four - way match . On May 23 , 2010 Go Shiozaki and Atsushi Aoki defeated Takeshi Morishima and Taiji Ishimori to win the AAA World Tag Team Championship during Pro Wrestling Noah ' s NOAH Navigation With Breeze - Day 1 show in Niigata , Niigata , Japan . As a result of the victory Shiozaki and Aoki would defend the titles in the four - way tag team championship match . On May 27 , 2010 during a press conference for the 2010 Lucha Libre Expo Silver King , Último Gladiador and Kenzo Suzuki showed up during International Wrestling Revolution Group ' s ( IWRG ) to continue an AAA vs . IWRG storyline that had been building for approximately a month at that point in time by claiming that they would show up during IWRG ' s show at the Lucha Libre expo . A few days later IWRG booker Marco Moreno mentioned the possibility that the IWRG wreslers may repay the interrruption by appearing at TripleManía XVIII in some form . After months of speculations Dorian Roldan announced that AAA had begun to work with the " Perros del Mal " wrestling promotion , owned and operated by Perro Aguayo , Jr . and that " Los Perros del Mal " would be in attendance for the TripleManía XVIII event , although their specific role was not announced . Competing events . In addition to TripleManía XVIII June 6 , 2010 also saw several other wrestling events in Mexico , including AAA themselves promotion a show in Monterrey , Nuevo León that featured most of the AAA wrestlers not booked for TripleManía XVIII as well as a number of local wrestlers . AAA ' s rival Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre ( CMLL ) held a major event of their own on the same night , in the same city as they presented " Sin Salida " in Arena México . IWRG also ran a show on June 6 which featured AAA representatives " Real Fuerza Aérea " members Aerostar , Laredo Kid and Super Fly defeating IWRG wrstlers Cerebro Negro , Freelance and Suicida , continuing the AAA vs . IWRG storyline . Event . The opening match of TripleManía XVIII was the Tables , Ladders and Chairs match ( TLC ) for the AAA World Mini - Estrellas Championship , the first ever " Mini - Estrellas " TLC Match . In addition to the seven participants announced before the show the match also included La Parkita and Mini Chessman making it a nine - " Mini - Estrellas " match . Early in the match it became obvious that someone accidentally raised the title belt too high over the ring as the " Minis " were not able to reach it from the top of the ladders . At one point La Parkita powerbomb ed reigning champion Mini Abismo Negro out of the ring and through a table . Mini Histeria climbed the ladder and almost reached the championship belt , but Octagóncito stopped him and sent Mini Histeria through a table with a neckbreaker off the ladder , after which Mini Histeria was removed from the ring on a stretcher . In the end Octagóncito climbed the ladder to take the belt and became the new AAA World Mini - Estrellas Champion . After the match La Parkita was helped from the ring , favoring his shoulder . It was also reported that Mini Abismo Negro had to receive medical attention after the match . The second match of the night was a Six - woman tag team match where the person pinned or submitted would have to serve as the slave of the winners for a month . " La Legión Extranjera " representatives Sexy Star , Rain and Jennifer Blade maintained the advantage in the night only through the biased refereeing of Hijo del Tirantes , who allowed " La Legión " to cheat repeatedly . After a while Mari Apache became fed up by Hijo del Tirantes ' biased refereeing and landed a low blow on him . Blade took advantage of the distraction and hit Mari over the back of the head with a broomstick , earning the pinfall for her team . As a result of the loss Mari Apache will now be the servant of " La Legión " until July 6 , 2010 . In the next match Silver King made his first official appearance under the name " Silver Cain " , a way to get around Silver King not being allowed to wear his mask any more . During the introduction of the AAA World Tag Team Champions the announced mistakenly announced one of them Nosawa and then never introduced his partner . Throughout the match only Konnan , who was commentating the matches , knew the names of Atsushi Aoki and Go Shiozaki as well as who Beer Money , Inc . actually were . The champions were the first team eliminated when Joe Lider pinned Shiozaki following a double knee backbreaker . In the second fall Konnan left his announcing position , threw James Storm a steel chair and caused a distraction , which allowed him to hit Joe Lider with it and pin him for the second elimination . In the end Silver Cain pinned James Storm following a brainbuster to make " Los Maniacos " the new AAA World Tag Team Champions . Following the match " Los Junior Capos " ( Máscara Año 2000 , Jr . and Hijo de Cien Caras ) from IWRG showed up and challenged the new tag team champions . This was the first time the IWRG vs . AAA rivalry was referenced on AAA television . At this point the crowd was estimated to be about 85 % capacity with people still entering , putting the attendance at around 17 . 000 . The fourth match , the " Lucha de Apuesta " for the hair of the referee , was surprisingly turned into a Steel Cage match without any build . The winning team would be the team where all three wrestlers first escaped the cage . Octagón was the first wrestler to escape the cage , quickly followed by Alex Koslov . Pimpinela Escarlata was almost out of the ring when he was stopped by Hernandez . Instead of fighting against Hernandez Escarlata surprised him with a big kiss , that distracted / disgusted Hernandez long enough for Escarlata to escape the cage . The 285 lbs Hernandez shocked the crowd by diving off the top of the 15 - foot - tall cage onto the prone Heavy Metal before climbing out of the cage . This left Chessman and Heavy Metal in the cage . At one point Chessman had an opportunity to leave the cage , but instead opted to leap off the top of the cage for a moonsault , only for Heavy Metal to move at the last moment , sending Chessman crashing into the match . When Heavy Metal tried to climb out of the cage Hijo del Tirantes hit him with a chair to stop him from leaving the cage . Afterwards Chessman recovered enough to drag himself out of the ring , winning the match for his team . After the match El Pierro had all his hair shaved off . Semi - main events . Cibernético and Abyss fought Vampiro and El Zorro in the next match , a hardcore match that quickly saw the interference of " La Legión " members Chessman , Christopher Daniels , Alex Koslov , Nosawa and Hernandez . After a while Cibernetico and Abyss were able to fight " La Legión " off . Near the end of the match Vampiro got into an argument with Konnan , resulting in Konnan tossing a handful of white powder into Vampiro ' s face . Blinded Vampiro was an easy target for Cibernético ' s " Garra Cibernetica " ( " The Cybernetic Claw " ; a chokeslam ) for the pin fall . After the match La Legión attacked the two again , but were fought off , then beaten down by Cibernético , with assist from " La Hermandad 187 " . Extreme Tiger defended the AAA Cruiserweight title against three challengers in the seventh match of the night . In one of the most dangerous moves of the nights Extreme Tiger leapt off the top rope executing a 450° splash to Nosawa , who was prone on the floor . Moments later Tiger eliminated Nosawa using a diving stomp . Later on a wrestler wearing an Extreme Tiger mask came to ringside , distracting the real Extreme Tiger long enough for Christopher Daniels to pin him and eliminate him . Following Extreme Tiger ' s elimination the imitator removed the Extreme Tiger mask , revealing himself to be Relámpago . Evans won the match by pinning Daniels following a corkscrew 450° splash to earn his first ever AAA Championship . Main events . The match for the AAA World Heavyweight Championship had originally been scheduled to go on last , but instead it became the second to last match , giving the L . A . Park vs . La Parka match the final spot on the show . The crowd was firmly behind Dr . Wagner , Jr . in the match , chanting for the " Good Doctor " throughout most of the match . The match began as a clean , scientific match with Wagner and Electroshock displaying a variety of mat wrestling , exchanging holds and moves . The crowd began booing the match , after watching the buildup to the match they were not pleased with the clean , mat based wresting even though Dr . Wagner , Jr . was in control of most of the match . Dr . Wagner , Jr . almost won the match when he used the " Wagner Driver " ( a sitout scoop slam piledriver ) on Electroshock , only to see the champion kick out at the very last moment . Electroshock later applied his " Electrolock " ( a kneeling abdominal stretch with a figure four leglock ) , the same move that had won him both the 2009 " Rey de Reyes " and the AAA World Heavyweight Championship . Dr . Wagner , Jr . managed to hold on and escape the hold only to apply another " Wagner Driver " on Electroshock . Following the " Wagner Driver " Dr . Wagner , Jr . was able to pin Electroshock and win the championship for a second time . Following the match Electroshock shook Dr . Wagner , Jr . ' s hand as a sign of respect and then left the ring . Moments later El Mesías , still recovering from shoulder surgery , came to the ring to present Dr . Wagner , Jr . with the belt and shook his hand . The final match of TripleManía XVIII was the battle over the name La Parka . First out was L . A . Park , accompanied by Dorian Roldan who carried L . A . Park ' s trademark steel chair with him to the ring . La Parka was accompanied by AAA managing director Joaquin Roldan . Both wrestlers came out to the sounds of Michael Jackson ' s Thriller , although neither were in the mood to dance before the match . The crowd support was divided although more behind the " rúdo " L . A . Park than they were behind the " técnico " La Parka . Early in the match L . A . Park landed three hard chair shots to his opponent , knocking him out of the ring . While on the floor L . A . Park threw a table into the ring and then threw La Parka into the steel barrier outside the ring . L . A . Park then sprayed La Parka in the face with a fire extinguisher and threw him into the crowd . The two fought back and forth in the crowd , throwing all rules out of the window . During the fight both wrestlers tore at their opponent ' s masks , almost tearing them completely apart , they two also bled heavily mid - way through the match . When the two returned to the ring La Parka threw L . A . Park off the top with a superplex that sent L . A . Park crashing through the table . While the crowd was generally split 50 / 50 for most of the match the boos were overwhelming when La Parka tried to pin L . A . Park , making it clear what outcome most of the fans were hoping for . A few minutes later the referee was accidentally knocked out of the ring , giving L . A . Park the opportunity to use a tombstone piledriver , a move that is illegal in Lucha Libre . Joaquin Roldan entered the ring , when L . A . Park attempted to use a steel chair on La Parka . When L . A . Park teased using the chair on Joaquin instead , Dorian entered the ring to protest , but was pushed down by Park , who then hit Joaquin with the chair , which caused Dorian to turn on him , hitting him with a steel chair three times . Seconds later Halloween and Damián 666 from the Perros del Mal wrestling promotion ran to the ring to chase Dorian Roldan away . Then they dragged L . A . Park on top of La Parka before " rúdo " referee Hijo del Tirantes counted to three to give L . A . Park the victory . After the bell rings the rest of " Los Perros del Mal " , ( Perro Aguayo , Jr . , Super Crazy , Hijo de L . A . Park , X - Fly , Black Warrior , Damián 666 ' s son , Ragde and Pesadilla . ) came to the ring to celebrate with L . A . Park who had won the rights to the name " La Parka " . After a couple of minutes a group of AAA wrestlers led by Octagón came to ringside and in combination with the arena security managed to remove Los Perros del Mal from the ring . Marisela Roldan and the AAA wrestlers gave tribute to AAA founder Antonio Peña with Marisela promising that they would beat Los Perros del Mal . La Parka was taken from the ring on a stretcher , not having moved since L . A . Park applied the piledriver . The show closed with a mini - concert by El Tri , followed by Marisela Peña making the announcement that due to the interference from Los Perros del Mal the main event results had been thrown out and declared a no - contest . The following day , during the post - TripleManía press conference Dorian Roldan announced that L . A . Park had indeed won the match and was now officially known as La Parka once again while AAA ' s La Parka would have to change his name . Aftermath . The night after the show AAA held a press conference centered around Dorian Roldan apologizing to his mother Marisela Peña Roldan , making peace with her , turning " técnico " once more . The press conference also featured the unity of AAA with Konnan ' s " La Legión Extranjera " against a common enemy in the invading Los Perros del Mal . While Konnan was reluctant to trust AAA after having feuded with them for the previous 4 – 5 years the invading Perros del Mal forced his hand . On June 10 AAA announced that it would respect Mexico City Boxing and Wrestling Commission ' s decision to throw out the main event match between La Parka and L . A . Park and as a result both wrestlers would keep their names . Reception . The event received mainly positive reviews from critics , especially the main event between L . A . Park and La Parka . " Grita Radio " described how the main event was so emotional that fans were on their feet with their hearts in their throats . Laura Fuentes and Armando Gutierrez of " Luchas 2000 " Magazine called the main event a " memorable battle " . An article in the Mexican newspaper Récord was very critical of the event , stating that it had started late , the fights were flat and that there was little public interest . The claims were refused by Super Luchas magazine publisher Jorge Ocampo , stating that the author of the event was anti - AAA since the event had started exactly on time , the time printed on the tickets and that the crowd was more into the event than they had been for a long time . Ocampo also cited other factual errors in the article , stating that the author knew very little about wrestling .
