[2000-02-18-AAA] Octagoncito & La Parkita & Mascarita Sagrada vs Mini Abismo Negro & Rocky Marvin & Mini Psicosis

[soup23]

Rocky Marvin being the name for Ricky Marvin’s mini likeness is hilarious to me. First fall is all action and about two minutes with Parkarita winning on a powerbomb. Second fall is more of the same but with the rudos winning to tie things up. This match is a good test basis for the proponents saying the first two falls are forgettable as we have about three minutes of action combined. I liked the finish with Octogoncito being crotched on the top rope and then succumbing to a submission from Psychosis. Sagrada is able to roll off a beautiful rana to the outside in the third fall. The rudos don’t seem to be getting along at the end of things here. This was essentially just a showcase to fill out the card. It was nice to see these guys but I am hoping for more from them in the future. **

This had some good action at times, but I agree it fell short of what I was hoping for just so AAA has at least something going for it. It's a major league promotion that I don't feel comfortable safely ignoring, but it's also tough. Still, we're going to stick with it, because maybe they will surprise us here and there. There was some clipping here and I suspect this would have come across better and more fleshed out in full. Some tremendous highspots, especially from Octagoncito, who comes across as the star of the match.

Nice to see Ricky marvin's brother Rocky. Like Ricky he's underrated as hell. This was a decent match thinks to the tecnicos. Mascarita sagrada is one of the best minis of all time and I always liked Octagoncito. Some nice dives and the rudos don't get along. Sagrada is so fluid and makes the highspots look so flawless. Decent match.

The clipping was really jarring in the first two falls. This was more spots than an actual match. The only real highlight was Octagoncito's impressive high flying.

I have always loved Mini Abismo Negro and he was a huge dick in this match with the low blow and the military presses. Just a really fun spot fest with insane spots.
