Match Four: Pirata Morgan vs. Angel Azteca
Ref: El Catrin
1st fall: Both men are looking for a victory tonight to try to move into title contention for both the Middleweight and the Distrito Federal Championships. Powerbomb by Morgan leaves Angel Azteca winded. Morgan instead of going for the cover goes to the outside to taunt the fans at ringside, rolling back in just ahead of the 20 count. Angel Azteca gets to his feet and throws a wild punch at Morgan. Morgan gets upset when it connects with the side of his head. Morgan, out of anger, tears off Angel Azteca`s mask, which in lucha libre is a disqualification. El Catrin takes Azteca`s mask from Morgan gives it back to its owner, and awards the fall to Angel Azteca
2nd fall: Morgan plays it clean for the second fall with his offense mostly consisting of dropkicks and arm drags. Huracarrana by Angel Azteca, but Morgan gets out. Second powerbomb by Morgan, but he still has to fight to try to get his Pirata lock on. Angel Azteca gets to the ropes before the devastating hold is locked on tight. Morgan releases the hold, but is dropped by an arm drag from Azteca. Dropkick by Morgan followed by a senton, and Pirata Morgan ties up the falls with a pin.
3rd fall: The Arena Coliseo crowd is booing everything that Morgan does, while cheering all of Angel Azteca`s offense. Morgan whips Azteca into the ropes and comes at him with a clothesline, but Azteca rolls under it, then gets onto the turnbuckle, and hits an amazing crossbody that sends both men to the mat. They lay there for a minute with Angel Azteca getting to his feet first. La Saustica by Angel Azteca and Pirata Morgan gives up.
Winner by Submission 2 falls to 1, at 34.00
Angel Azteca

As AAA mark I'm glad NWA has a foothold in Mexico. Good first match, and great main event.

[003]

Thumbs Up from me here on this show I really enjoyed your work in Mexico in another universe and it's looks like we will be getting plenty of the same here. Between AAA and the upcoming debuet of All Star we are really giving the NWA an international feel.

[Grape Ape]

A nice start to our promotion South of the Border. As 003 said, with AAA and ASW, we have an International presence that is good for the league. Unfortunately, I don't know much about most of these guys which will require me to do some research.

Anyone else having problems with seeing the pics? Wondering if it is just me on my iPad.

[Deleted]

I'll agree with the above. International feds are usually the last to get acknowledged in these that I've been a part of, but when done are often amongst the best because they can be done most true to what it was while the writer can still do a lot with the place. This AAA roster is no exception and should be amongst the best in no time at all.

I will say that some of these guys were pretty young at this time, but you dealt with it nicely here. Garza would be pretty much making his debut in that match and wasn't put over like Garza a couple years later or something, so I liked that. Cibernetico would also just be debuting a few months earlier, albeit not using that name but I wouldn't bother waiting either, but his added size for Mexico does make it believable he'd get an early push.

Looking forward to this.

[jasonjames91]

the pictures were working when I posted it, but seem to not be now. I try to keep the age of these guys in mind when pushing them, sometimes it's hard to book them for that they are not for what they will be

By any chance did you get your pics from luchawiki? Had the same happen to me all the time while running Dream Gate and using luchawiki pics. Find it works best to save em on your pc and load them onto a photobucket account.

[jasonjames91]

yeah I did, darn thing, I will do that thanks!

[Deleted]

Just wanted to add that I really enjoyed this show a great deal. I agree that often areas like Mexico and Japan go unnoticed feedback wise, and its a real shame. Of the youngsters Cibernetico can surely be pushed via his size. Heck he was pushed IRL, in fact the Cibernetico persona was handed to him with a huge push less than a year into his career after all. It'll be interesting to see Juvy & Nicho as faces, it's a shame you don't have Rey as Rey/Juvy and Rey/Nicho made the three what they are today. Haven't looked at your roster but if you're looking for a "Rey" type there is always the future Abismo Negro who had the young flyer push at this time IRL as "Winners" and of course there is always Oro, but he'll be leaving us soon sadly.

[somethingsavage]

Agreed with pretty much everything Drew said up above. Sorry my feedback is late. I'm way behind on reading & reviewing. Work's been hectic. But hey. I dig what you're doing here, man. You always seem to have a firm grasp on the pulse of Lucha Libre, and your version of things in this "alternate" universe is no exception. Thumbs up, amigo.

By the way, I just wanted to add that I really enjoy the added pics. They're strictly a bonus, but the images really help to draw me in visually. They're crazy enticing to some readers. I've never seen you utilize them like that before, but I really like it. Hope to see the trend continue. For an area like Mexico, the pics are extra fun - because the masks, gimmicks, etc. can get way outlandish & just crazy cool.

[jesseewiak]

Fun stuff. Nice to see someone who seems to "get" lucha libre as a promoter here. It's always disconcerting for me when you see people writing lucha or puro who obviously have no idea how it works. So, I'll be expecting wacky promos, blood feuds, and demaskings by heels by week 6!

Seriously though, solid roster that feels like the early AAA roster of the time.
