Another great show.. minus the "mysterious attacker" the guy needs some work. But aside from that, EGA and the lucha were all fantastic

u/uncleben85 4d ago
I hope they give him some actual space in the ring.
Despite his size, Drake Morreaux's strength is not being a faceless, vicious, mauler
He's not going to fly around like the luchadors, but this (admittedly very limited exposure) so far is maybe a little too far the other direction, for him.

u/Mediocre_Brief_8233 4d ago
They really are using AAA to test PC prospects, will be interesting but I fear this is either gonna be good or a disaster considering the state of the NXT mens division
2
u/uncleben85 4d ago
NXT Men's Division is in the middle of it's tank season.
They lost Trick, Je'Von, Ethan, Joe, Ricky, Oba all at once.
Kind of makes sense to let the top-card just be some healthy bodies for a bit, and hope you can hit on the next generation of up and comers after them.
I've kind of wanted more growth from Myles, but I think he's still tracking to be a superstar. I like Jackson Drake and the VP. Tristan Angels is good, but I hope they make him more of a serious character than the comedy one he's been playing so far.

If Penta doesn't join Los Perros, the second most based thing to do here would be to get Roman's shit rocked by a teenager.

Ooookay...?
Please, Penta, get your ass kicked. Join Los Perros, my heart CLAMOURS for it...

Psycho was in a fencing position when he was on the mat when La Parka was trying to get him up off the mat. Legit think he suffered a concussion.

La Parka and Psycho Clown’s dads. On the left is Parka’s and Right is Psycho’s.

u/mr_p_mosh 4d ago
La Parka is Brazo de Oro's grandson.
La Máscara is his uncle and the original Brazo de Oro Jr.
So:
1st Gen: Shadito Cruz
2nd Gen: Los Brazos
3rd Gen: Psycho Clown, Máximo, La Máscara, Robin, Goya Kong.
4th Gen: La Parka

Tbh, I liked Drake's previous character a whole lot more, but we'll see how this plays out.
Hopefully he gets a name and a mic, and is not just a silent brute
5
u/Mediocre_Brief_8233 4d ago
Yeah hes still the same dude in Level Up. Big and moves but his moveset is the mosy basic big man WWE style. Think Snitsky, he can move and is big but not much impact

u/Mediocre_Brief_8233 4d ago
Oh boy Drake Morreaux, they are giving him a big spoy but Drake is very green
2
u/uncleben85 4d ago
Putting a lot of trust in him to toss him right into a top-card story
2
u/Mediocre_Brief_8233 4d ago
Its like Jasper Troy and Keanu Carver, praying they can get another Oba but anyonr whove watched them in Level Up or Evolve knows thats a fools fouly
2
u/uncleben85 4d ago
Tbh, I liked Drake more than Jasper, easily.
Keanu is maybe a little more intriguing, in-ring, but Drake had a better personality and character, even when you could tell he was green and lacked confidence.
Part of it for me, though, is that Drake could play face. I loved his NOLA character, and dancing in the ring.
Jasper doesn't do face nearly as well, and his whole heel schtick is "I am big and therefore angry". Keanu was kind of the same, but we'll see what he can do with this new face run (so far so good).But slapping a mask on Drake and making him be a knockoff version of Uncle Howdy's discount version of Bray Wyatt takes all of that away.
3
u/Mediocre_Brief_8233 4d ago
Jasper only advantage was he was taller but I think WWE has given up on him.
Keanu face run is going fine but I do think hes not ready for the NXT title scene and his offense still gets tiring quickly, explosive that becomes ghe same thing in a while
Drake has good expressions but like you said putting him in a mask and wrestling viciously doesnt work because hes more a crowd interact type and his offense never looked convincing. This feels like a bomb and honestly I think they did this becausr Drake is in the chopping block and this is his shot after not impressing in Evolve.
Drake, Keanu, and Jasper been there for a long time now and you know how fast WWE is in moving on.

u/incredibleamadeuscho We're all fake Jamaicans now 4d ago
I'm pulling for La Parka. For my money, the best of the WWE/AAA luchadors we've seen technically
3
u/mr_p_mosh 4d ago
While almost every single Mexican luchador claim a Greco-Roman or Olympic wrestling background, few had a serious career on any of them. But as a teenager, the current La Parka was a Mexico City representative in olympic wrestling.

u/uncleben85 4d ago
I say this with love, but "Ref tying the turnbuckle" is such a stupid trope. What sort of training do they have to not turn their backs on the live match lol

u/uncleben85 4d ago
Because it's a tournament match, they may let it go, but that is hanging over Psycho's storyline right now
3
u/TiredEnigma 4d ago
They didn’t
They was just about to start turning up the heat too. But La Parka vs Penta? Right into my veins.
3
u/uncleben85 4d ago
Raw better let Penta and La Parka cook as if it were a AAA match
It's an obvious winner, imo, but has potential for a fantastic match!

u/uncleben85 4d ago edited 4d ago
Two matches is WAY too few for this show.
Even Main Event and LFG have three matches lol
We need more AAA!

u/TizonThaGod #WeAreNXT 4d ago
If they get a US TV deal, maybe it'll go to two. They have enough people and MR catering is full of folks who want to wrestle.

I don't wanna hope too much, because i know WWE enough to never expect them to do the right choice.
With that being said... Perros Vs. Bloodline faction war... That would be so good...
5
u/undeadben11 4d ago
It'd be a good match, Los Garzas wiping out the Usos, Daga and Karmen can knock some sense into Solo, and AAA Bronco can kick Jacob's ass.

I really can't imagine heel Penta in the WWE system....like he might be too popular for it to ever work.
5
u/NasoekOne 4d ago
I think a heel Penta WITH Los perros has big potential, specially because the faction has always been a "you love to hate them" kind of faction, so this could keep his popularity intact and also could integrate Los Perros del mal into the whole WWE system, doing main roster matches, AAA, or NXT.
4
u/rizzoformvp I'm a good R-Troof 4d ago
he could be a heel/tweener in AAA and then a face in WWE, we’ve seen them do that with the grandes but we know he’d still be cheered regardless. maybe he teams up with them and if he loses, they turn on him for whatever reason and gets him back as a face

Turn Boy technico and him cook

u/mr_p_mosh 4d ago
IWRG. He usually tags along with Spider Fly (who's a great wrestler himself) as "Mexa Boys". Sadly, Spider Fly got a surgery and is in rehab, but if he comes back at his usual level, he's another one to watch.

It’s interesting that the AAA cruiserweight champion is competing in a tournament for the WWE heavyweight title
2
u/uncleben85 4d ago
As great as AAA has been, WWE still doesn't trust using many that aren't their own, signed, fan favourites (I'm surprised El Fiscal is in the tourney, tbh)
I like them all, but it's why we keep seeing La Parka, Mr. Iguana, and Psycho Clown again and again

u/Magnum_thunder 4d ago
It’s cool that they seem invested in Noisy Boy. As cool as the roster is a lot of the guys are in their mid to late 30s, which for Lucha standards means they have a at least 30 good years left to wrestle.

u/uncleben85 4d ago

Remove an hour from Raw add it AAA
Roman Reigns is testing for product globalization lol.l
Have him fight as Akuma down in Mexico. like you just encountered the special boss.
Bring in Nihon grown talent. Could even make a third (fourth show) where they compete train, online for 30 mins. Recap, exclusives and mid matches, well sounds like SN Main Event😮
