Joe’s Lucha Libre Weekly: News & Analysis (11/23/18)

AAA
AAA on Twitch 11/18
The hot angle for this show was Psycho Clown coming out to complain about the match makers for pairing him with Blue Demon Jr. Konnan comes out with Cage and tells him Fantasma is in charge for the main event. Cage doesn’t like this so they turn on him. Blue Demon Jr and Cage got swapped for the main event. Brian Cage, Psycho Clown, and La Parka did defeat Hijo Del Fantasma, Blue Demon Jr, and Texano Jr. Cage pinned Texano Jr with an F5. The Co-main event saw Mamba, Maximo, and Murder Clown facing La Mascara, Rey Escorpion, and Monster Clown. Mascara defeated Maximo with a low blow, but the story here was Maximo wanting to challenge Mascara to a hair vs hair match on the January 1st show. Pagano and Joe Lider faced Ciclope and Miedo Extremos in a ridiculous hardcore battle filled with dangerous spots that weren’t all performed smoothly. The finish saw Pagano hitting a Spanish Fly on Ciclope through a burning table with thumb tact on it.
Lucha Capital
There’s no AAA show on Twitch for a few weeks, so Lucha Capital will be done here.
Mocho Cota Jr vs Argenis
Konnan has replaced Vampiro on commentary. I’m sure that has Vampiro fuming. Cota Jr vs Argenis wasn’t the scheduled match but some things changed for match up reasons. Cota gets the advantage early beating on Argenis on the outside. He gets him in the ring and continues to work on him. Argenis hits a dive to gain momentum. Cota hits a nice power slam to balance things out. Argenis gets Cota to the top and hits a hurricanrana for the win. Argenis pins Mocho Cota Jr with a hurricanrana from the top.
Winner: Argenis
Mascarita Sagrado vs Hijo Del Vikingo
Originally scheduled to be Kross vs Mascarita. Thank god they didn’t do that. They stare each other down to start at first. They trade slaps to the chest briefly before the pace gets picked up. Vikingo hits a head scissors then works over Mascarita. Vikingo goes for a running attack in the corner but misses and falls out of the ring. Mascarita hits a splash off the top rope on him. In the ring Mascarita hits a hurricanrana off the top rope. Vikingo goes for a choke slam but Mascarita counters into a victory roll for a two count. Vikingo gets him in a toe hold and Mascarita reverses it into a pin for a two count. Mascarita looks to hit a splash off the top but Vikingo catches him for a swinging slam. He goes to the top and hits a shooting star press for the win. Hijo Del Vikingo pins Mascarita Sagrado with a shooting star press.
Winner: Hijo Del Vikingo
Puma King vs Drago
Drago faces off against Puma King. Originally listed as Pagano vs Puma King. This should be better. They start the match with some submission wrestling, trading holds and locks trying to get the better position. Finally Drago gets the advantage by hitting a dive to the outside on Puma King. In the ring Puma catches him in a flap jack then hits a super kick. Puma King then hits him with a delay vertical suplex. Drago goes for a dive but Puma intercepts him with a super kick, then runs to the top and hits a dive to the outside on Drago. Puma King goes to the top but Drago runs up and hits an arm drag. Drago goes for a victory roll but Puma counters it into a blue thunder bomb.
Drago hits a tornado DDT off the top, then a spike DDT but Puma kicks out at two. Puma catches Drago with a power bomb, then code breaker for another two count. Drago goes for a hurricanrana off the top but Puma reverses it into a power bomb. They almost botched that badly. They wrestle for pinning combinations and Puma gets one but Drago reverses it for the win. Drago beats Puma King with a counter to a pinning combination.
Winner: Drago

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 4.3.2025
The first episode under the new regime, let’s see how bad it is.

Well this is the first episode with the new regime, and I’m not looking forward to it. I’m expecting a car crash, because Delirious is worthless, Dreamer is hit or miss at the best, and no one else has a proven track record at having a brain. So I expect pure garbage.
Let’s see if I get surprised!
.@MeanGiaMiller caught up with TNA Knockouts Champion @mashaslamovich, @XiaBrookside, and @TheLeiYingLee ahead of TONIGHT’s massive main event against Tessa Blanchard, #WWENXT’s @jacyjaynewwe, and Jazmyn Nyx!

Ratings:
- #1 Contender Match: Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian: Kaz wins via Cradle – N/A
- Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend: Jakara wins via M-KO – ** 1/2
- Hardy Boyz vs Great Hands w/Tasha Steelz: Jeff wins via Swanton Bomb – ** 1/4
- Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx w/Fallon Henley vs Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich: Tessa wins via Buzzsaw DDT – ***
Results:
We lead off with Joe Hendry music because he’s on commentary during the Elijah versus Kaz match.
#1 Contender Match: Elijah vs Frankie Kazarian
We start off with Kaz sticking and moving to dodge Elijah, but he eventually catches him and goes to the Rope Walk quickly and pulls it off. Elijah tries to go into a Piledriver or something but Kaz slips it and pulls down Elijah with the slip. They go to the outside, Kaz throws Elijah into the post, then slaps Hendry, shoving match starts, Kaz charges and Hendry lifts but Kaz slips out the back and shoves Hendry into Elijah…the ref lets it slide. So Kaz throws in Elijah and a quick cradle gives Kaz the opportunistic win.
Post Match Hendry just goes crazy on Kaz, security pull apart spot, even Elijah pulls off Hendry and calms him down. Elijah playing the long game, not even arguing that Hendry cost him. The match didn’t have enough substance to rate, it was purely a plot device and a little convoluted.Â
Backstage segment of Hendry with the Doctor, Hendry apparently messed up his shoulder in the scuffle…so…that’s something.Â
System Ultimatum time is next. The crowd is booing the hell out of Eddie, and it’s a real reaction not go away heat or anything, Eddie plays in it well enough. Lish leads the way and wants to do the Planteer pose, but the rest just walk past her and she seems annoyed, while these others seem somber. This was going the way we expected with everyone sticking around. We finally get to Moose and doofus Deaner’s music hits. Deaner tries to get the crowd to rally around Moose resigning from The System. Moose says the People are right, but then beats the hell out of Deaner. They do the Planeteer pose over the corpse of Deaner. Hopefully we never see that dork again, just let him go be a jobber in Maple Leaf Pro.Â
Spitfire vs Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend
Jakara starts with Dani, a quick tie up, but Jakara strikes out of it, Arm Drag sends Dani flying, but Dani stops Jakara’s next attempts at offense, tags in Jody and a tandem moment rocks Jakara. Jody tags back out and Lash tags in, so it’s power and booty versus power and booty. Shoulder Tackle spot and Lash gets the best of it, Dani holds on to the ropes to stop the Whip recoil, Jody with the blind tag, they try to team up but Lash fights out of both. Jody goes Spider Monkey and tries to choke out Lash but Lash just walks her back to Jakara and tags out. Jakara is rolling until Jody holds the ropes and watches Jakara crash and burn on a Dropkick. Probably the best I’ve seen that spot in a long time. Dani tags in, they try the Scoop Slam tandem attack on Jakara, but Jakara moves and Dani just slams Jody into the mat.
Lash gets tagged in and starts to maul Dani. A little rotating offense keeping Dani isolated. Dani tries to find an opening but she’s eating move after move, they go for the Tandem Wheelbarrow Slam, but Dani gets the knees up. Dani finally gets a chance to tag out, Jody starts working over both Lash and Jakara. Stacks them in the corner to do her 10 Count Lariats, Exploder Suplex into rope hung Double Knees. Jody wants the German but Lash tries to stop it. Jody fights off Lash, manages a Stalling Jackhammer on Jakara, but Lash does manage to break up the pin. All four are in the ring, Dani gets tosses, Straight Right from Lash clocks Jody. Jakara flies to wipe out Dani, they look for the M-KO but Jody fights it off. Jody throwing Chops on both, it starts to look stupid, Jody tries to fire and Lash wants to clock her with the Forearm during the stall but hits Jakara.
Crossbody from Jody, Lash catches her, M-KO. Meta Girls win.
Oh great more talking, now the Hardyz are out to talk and Matt gives a decent but basic promo that goes into a bit of Broken just for the cheap pop. Jeff pokes fun at the “best brother tag team” joke from last week. If they weren’t The Hardyz the crowd wouldn’t care. Oh speaking of not caring, the Great Hands and snackalicious Tasha Steelz interrupt. Great Hands want to fight, Hardyz are okay with it of course, then Santino comes out. He says after the commercial Great Hams vs Hard Boys is on!Â
Hardy Boyz vs Great Hands w/Tasha Steelz
Hotch is getting worked over by both Hardys, a little classic tandem offense, an early pinfall, but Hotch claws the eyes and tags in Skyler. Skyler’s advantage last like 12 seconds, he tags Jeff, Rocket Launcher into the middle rope with a Leg Drop from Jeff. Jeff tries to Whisper in the Wind in the opposition corner like a dumbass, so Hotch crotches him, the Hands do the double crotch stomp as Jeff is in the Tree of Woe. Assisted offense, they try to perch Jeff, but Jeff fights them off and pulls off the best Whisper in a minute. Matt gets the hot tag, Scoop Slams, Delete Headsmashes, and a Side Effect on Hotch for fun. Matt wants the Twist on Skyler, Skyler counters, Jeff tags in, Poetry in Motion, Side Effect on Skyler and only a near fall.
Twist of Hate attempt, Hotch breaks it up, Matt takes out Hotch, Skyler almost pulls off the Flash upset with the Cradle. Plot Twist, Swanton, and Jeff wins.
Ryan Nemeth is in the back watching the match, has a few snarky things to say while wearing an LA Sparks jersey, Leon Slater and his lack of charisma in Birmingham accent shows up. Hates the WNBA obviously since he tries to push Ryan out of camera frame, and then they’ll prolly have a match at some point. At least Ryan has a gimmick that’s been amusing, but God is Leon Slater useless.Â
THEY HAVE AN INJURY REPORT SEGMENT – that’s soo damn corny. Never do this again, this is dumb as hell.Â
Oh great, more talking…SDL and Mance Warner. Where’s Keenan when I need someone to scream “WHY!?!”
This promo is complete shit, they even invent a bad magazine called TNA Weekly for this dumb thing. I hate this, and not in the “I wanna see them get beat up good heel work way”, I hate them because they’re useless, uninteresting and just saying dumb crap. When Santino comes out and effectively calls them stupid and cringe…that’s kind of a problem when the comedy character calls you dumb. THEY ARE REBRANDING THE BELT AGAIN! International Championship…ugh. Sami comes out to beat up Mance while Santino tries to wrestle the belt away from Steph. This is just cringe.Â
.@MustafaAli_X unleashed a vicious verbal assault on Derek, dragging his past addiction into the spotlight—making his war with @Santana_Proud even more personal.

Mustafa Ali is doing great work. I’m a little mad this promo was buried in this awful episode.Â
Tessa Blanchard, Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx w/Fallon Henley vs Lei Ying Lee, Xia Brookside & Masha Slamovich
Tessa and Masha start, Masha shoots the half, rains down fists, Tessa kicks her off but Masha keeps up the aggression and forces Tessa to powder. Fatal Influence tries to come in, Xia and Lei dispatch them, Dual Baseball Slide take out the NXT girls, and a Middle Rope Plancha from Masha takes out Tessa as we go to commercial.
Back from commercial Lei Ying has Jacy in a grounded Arm Bar. A little hair pull makes Lei stand up, but she drops Jacy flat after a Round Kick, Low Sweep and then a Running Knee as she’s getting back up. A corner Down Strike has Lei rolling, but a blind tag from Jazmyn catches Lei by surprise and then she gets trapped in the heel corner. The Fatal Influence gals rotate in and out, all 3 take cheap shots, PK into a Senton for a near fall. Lei finally fights off the onslaught and gets Xia in. Xia is very fiery and angry, and now Jazmyn is getting her ass beat. Rosemary is in the audience to distract Xia a little but Xia still connects with Broken Wings and a near fall. Xia gets tripped up on the apron, Jacy gets tagged in and a PK drops Xia on the outside. Hard Irish Whip back in the ring and Cannonball from Jacy has Xia down and out. Jazmyn tags back in, and Xia tries to fire up, Monkey Flip but pulled away by Jacy, Xia tags out, Masha takes out both Fatal Influence members, goes for a pinfall but Tessa runs in with a head of steam to break the pinfall. All six are in for Signature spam spot. Spinning Heel kick from Masha, Fallon distracts on the outside, and Tessa takes advantage of all the chaos, Buzzsaw DDT and Tessa gets the pinfall victory.
Ethan Page interrupts Kaz’s promo at the end of the show. Claiming he should have the title shot since he pinned Joe in NXT. So the Rebellion match is Ethan Page versus Joe Hendry.Â
Overall Score: 1/10
The one point is for Mustafa’s promo and the main even being decent. But this was awful. Too much talking, an “Injury Report” like this is a real situation and not scripted, which is insulting, and YET AGAIN, a new name for the lower card title. Jesus Christ, stop renaming the damn belt. Legends/TV/King of the Mountain/Grand/Digital Media/International… just stop it. Stick to a name or stop doing a lower card belt. Also really lame that they keep trying to push Cardona as something important.
Kaz and Elijah’s thing is a stupid angle, The System firing was a giant cock tease and who the hell gives Eddie the power to call everyone to task? Mance and SDL are the worst thing on this show after Deaner’s existence. SDL has been a plague on TNA programming since wasting time with her “needs neck surgery” promo instead of a match. I do truly feel bad for Mustafa Ali’s promo being stuck on this pile of crap.
This was an episode that should’ve been an e-mail. Garbage effort, garbage stories, just straight up a waste of two hours. Even with the Ethan Page appearance, this episode was still worthless. Is it sad to say, I expected nothing and am still disappointed by this episode? Ugh… LOLTNA…
