00:00:00Triple kicks, ricocheting off the skull of Pagliano.
00:00:06This is the first time they've ever wrestled together.
00:00:10It's either Santos wrestled by himself, or the guards have tagged up, but
00:00:15this is the first time.
00:00:15Cover here by Birdo.
00:00:17And how difficult is it to develop Trio's chemistry in a short period of time?
00:00:23Well, you know, he's been mentoring them for quite a while now.
00:00:29So I think once they get in the ring, it's like second nature.
00:00:31Look at this.
00:00:33Rolling moonsault by Birdo, hooks the leg up Pagliano.
00:00:38Birdo now showing some frustration.
00:00:41We heard the strategy, if you will, from Legato Del Fantasma prior to this matchup.
00:00:47Step one is winning the matchup tonight.
00:00:49Step two includes taking the Triple-A Tag Team Championships at TripleMania.
00:00:55What could that mean for Triple-A as a whole?
00:00:57But if we lost the championship, there would be a long line of people trying to get that
00:01:03belt back because it basically belongs in Mexico.
00:01:07And right now, Birdo getting under the skin of the crowd and disrespecting Cycle.
00:01:11All three of them, look at how that cynical laugh of Santos.
00:01:14Santos changed a lot.
00:01:16I mean, he's the type of guy that would steal your wallet and help you look for it.
00:01:21So are you.
00:01:23You just met me, Conan.
00:01:24Come on.
00:01:25I can tell.
00:01:26I don't need to know you long.
00:01:29Santos now teeing off on a down Pagliano.
00:01:32This is not where Pagliano wants to be.
00:01:34Of course not.
00:01:35This is classic tag team strategy, whether it be standard tag team or trios.
00:01:38You cut the ring in half, you isolate your opponent.
00:01:41Very impressive.
00:01:42Legado, they came out in rare form, like they want to make a statement.
00:01:47And I think they've already made it.
00:01:49As does Pagliano.
00:01:50Do you think Pagliano has enough left in the tank to turn the tides of this matchup?
00:01:53Yeah.
00:01:54Blockbuster connects.
00:01:56Pagliano desperately needs to make a tag to one of his fresher partners, Psycho Clown or
00:02:02Ejo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
00:02:05Very smart.
00:02:06Very smart.
00:02:07That's why he is El Comandante of the Legado.
00:02:12Listen, the years spent in NXT, in WWE by Santos and all of Legado.
00:02:16He finally tagged.
00:02:17Learned some new tricks, but Psycho Clown has been unleashed.
00:02:23Series of forearms taking down Birdo.
00:02:26Big time slam.
00:02:30Psycho looked to execute a cover until he realized that Angel was inside of the ring.
00:02:34Angel gets a turnbuckle for his troubles.
00:02:40Not where Angel wants to be stuck.
00:02:42In the tree of wall.
00:02:45What are we looking for here, Conan?
00:02:48Maybe some kicks?
00:02:49Basement kicks?
00:02:51Yep.
00:02:52Basement drop kick.
00:02:55Psycho Clown takes down Santos Escobar.
00:02:58Cold red.
00:03:00Down goes Birdo.
00:03:03And Birdo just barely able to escape and keep this matchup alive.
00:03:10People into this match, I mean, they haven't been quiet all day today.
00:03:15Absolutely not.
00:03:16Come from all over the globe to celebrate.
00:03:19Libre El Ijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. has entered the competition exchanging shots with Escobar.
00:03:30Big clothesline by Wagner.
00:03:32Yeah, he spent a lot of years in Japan, so he's got that strong style.
00:03:37One of the championships as a member of pro wrestling, Noah.
00:03:40One hundred percent.
00:03:41Dragon Screw takes down Birdo.
00:03:43And another Dragon Screw by Wagner.
00:03:48That move was popularized by his dad, Dr. Wagner Jr.
00:03:52Dr. Wagner Jr., an absolute icon in the culture of Lucha Libre.
00:03:57Uh-oh.
00:03:58He's going diving.
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:00Pagano.
00:04:01On the mark this time.
00:04:05Tope Conjero.
00:04:06And a plancha.
00:04:07And a plancha.
00:04:08Plancha with Tornillo.
00:04:09Take another look at this.
00:04:10Wagner and Psycho taking it high risk and it paid off major dividends in this instance.
00:04:25These are not small guys like you're used to seeing the high flyers from Mexico.
00:04:30You know what I'm saying?
00:04:31Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:04:32These guys are really pretty.
00:04:33Yeah.
00:04:34You hear the people?
00:04:35I sure do.
00:04:36They are rocking.
00:04:37They are rolling.
00:04:38They're enjoying every second as WWE and Triple A are representing the culture of Lucha Libre
00:04:44in spectacular fashion.
00:04:46It's the talk of the wrestling world right now.
00:04:49And this pivotal moment in the matchup could be the beginning of the end for one side of this
00:04:54battle.
00:05:01And here we go.
00:05:03Cocky fight.
00:05:04Cocky fight.
00:05:05I love this.
00:05:07Twelve fists flying.
00:05:09Wagner with a thunderous boot on the jaw of Escobar.
00:05:13Surprised you didn't knock him out.
00:05:15You and I both Conan.
00:05:17Step up knee.
00:05:18Rock Santos once again.
00:05:20Santos might be in for a little bad medicine.
00:05:24Hoisted way up.
00:05:28Driven down Falcon Arrow hooks the leg for the win.
00:05:34And Angel keeps the matchup alive for Legado Del Fantasma.
00:05:41Tag made in Alberto legal.
00:05:43I just wanted to say real quick.
00:05:49So before the show Angel was telling me that before their grandfather who was a very famous wrestler in Mexico died.
00:05:58Hold that thought Conan.
00:06:00I don't know if we're gonna have much time to talk after this.
00:06:02Oh what a great.
00:06:03From incredible heights.
00:06:04Beautiful.
00:06:05That might do it for Wagner.
00:06:11Pagano and Psycho re-entering the fray.
00:06:17On the apron.
00:06:18Psycho Driver.
00:06:23Angel now breathtaking moves up to the outside.
00:06:30Made famous by his uncle.
00:06:33The great Hector Garza.
00:06:34Yep.
00:06:35Pagano taking down Angel.
00:06:39This thing is breaking down in a hurry.
00:06:41Big boot from Wagner takes Escobar off of the apron.
00:06:45And what the hell is Wagner looking for here?
00:06:53Down goes Escobar.
00:06:55Off the stairs with a mortal.
00:06:58Is that it?
00:07:00Scrabble for the cover.
00:07:01Wow.
00:07:02Did that do it?
00:07:03Yep.
00:07:04And Angel keeps it alive.
00:07:06Santos was saved by Angel.
00:07:09Cause right now we're one to one right?
00:07:12Triple A one match.
00:07:13WWE one match.
00:07:14Yes sir.
00:07:15Sit out powerbomb by Psycho Clown.
00:07:19Big kick right between the eyes of the clown.
00:07:25Watch Pagano.
00:07:27Code breaker from the middle rope.
00:07:30I gotta say this is a great performance by everybody involved.
00:07:34My advice to everyone watching.
00:07:36Don't blink.
00:07:37You just may miss something spectacular.
00:07:39The energy.
00:07:40The action has not stuck on the opening bell.
00:07:43I mean they've been going at it from the onsite and they still haven't finished.
00:07:47Nice.
00:07:48Oh man.
00:07:49The whole pile goes down.
00:07:53Tough to tell who got the worst of that exchange.
00:07:56Everybody's laid out.
00:07:58With the exception of Santos Escobar.
00:08:01From the God of Del Fantasma.
00:08:03Look out Santos.
00:08:08Wagner.
00:08:09From behind.
00:08:10Down goes Escobar.
00:08:11For the win.
00:08:12Hook of the leg.
00:08:13One.
00:08:14Two.
00:08:15One.
00:08:16Two.
00:08:17And Wagner very nearly picked up the win on behalf of Triple A.
00:08:21That's twice he almost pinned him.
00:08:22He's got his number.
00:08:23And a winner homage to the one and only.
00:08:26To my great friend Eddie Guerrero.
00:08:31Don't waste time.
00:08:32Let's go.
00:08:33Wasting too much time.
00:08:34Got to tell him a little louder Conan.
00:08:35It is rocking in here.
00:08:36Yeah.
00:08:37It is loud.
00:08:38Obviously all the athletes.
00:08:39Feeding off of the energy of this crazy crowd today.
00:08:44Yeah.
00:08:45The Latino nation showed out.
00:08:46And they've definitely been loud.
00:08:47Look at this.
00:08:48From the top turnbuckle.
00:08:49Super Rana by Escobar.
00:08:50Hooks the leg.
00:08:51And the cradle.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53Oh.
00:08:54Oh.
00:08:55And Wagner survives again.
00:09:07Great power by Escobar.
00:09:08Thinking about the Phantom Driver perhaps.
00:09:14Pitting combination.
00:09:15Shoulders are down.
00:09:19Escobar with a knee.
00:09:22Up goes Wagner.
00:09:24Phantom Driver.
00:09:25Will this do it?
00:09:27Wow.
00:09:28Wow.
00:09:29None of them wanted to.
00:09:33To lose.
00:09:34But finally.
00:09:35Santos came out on top.
00:09:36And it's 2 to 1.
00:09:372 to 1 in the matchup.
00:09:42Favoring the WWE contingent.
00:09:45This has got to do great things for the mentality and the momentum.
00:09:48Of Los Garza.
00:09:49As we barrel toward Triple Mania.
00:09:51Let's look at some of these highlights.
00:09:53A Super Rana.
00:09:55From the top turnbuckle by Escobar.
00:09:57Amazingly.
00:09:58Wagner survived and continued.
00:10:02Big knee by Santos.
00:10:06Was the prelude to the Phantom Driver.
00:10:09A maneuver that's brought Escobar so much success.
00:10:12And Los Garza hope they can continue this momentum.
00:10:16With the Triple A tag team titles on the line.
00:10:19At Triple Mania.
00:10:21Hey man.
00:10:22I gotta give it to them.
00:10:23They were rare for them.
00:10:25And now the Garza go to Monterey.
00:10:27With a victory.
00:10:28¡George!
00:10:29Yeah!
00:10:34Yeah!
00:10:38Yeah.
00:10:39Yeah.
00:10:40Yeah.
00:10:53The FIFA World Cup 26 is coming to North America next summer.

00:11:29Los Ángeles, California.
00:11:406 de noviembre de 1994.
00:11:43Frente a un público entusiasmado, AAA y su historia en suelo estadounidense.
00:11:53When worlds collide, thousands of fans here at the L.A. Sports Arena and millions watching live and exclusively on pay-per-view.
00:12:03It's finally here, the wrestling style that is sweeping the world.
00:12:07Ese show fue algo increíble, porque nunca pensábamos del impacto que iba a tener.
00:12:13We have had some breath-taking action tonight, wild style. Much faster pace than you have ever seen before.
00:12:21That's made in America!
00:12:24He's got three let's hit him!
00:12:27The masks have been saved, and the hair of Eddie Guerrero and Love Machine, Art Farr, will be shaved tonight.
00:12:36But it was an impact that people in the U.S. talk about the pay-per-view event as one of the best of all the time.
00:12:46Worlds Collide was not only a pay-per-view event, it was a cultural shock.
00:12:50A innovative collaboration between AAA and WCW.
00:12:55Worlds Collide was not only a pay-per-view event, it was very good, it was very good, it was very good, it was very good, it was very good, it was very good, it was very good, it was very good, it was very good, it was very good.
00:13:03Worlds Collide fue el primer gran pago por evento estadounidense en presentar la lucha libre con sus propias características, estrellas de alto vuelo, personajes pintorescos y una narrativa emotiva.
00:13:16El evento contó con íconos como Perro Aguayo, Conan, La Parca y un joven fenómeno llamado Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:13:27Rey Mysterio Jr. puede crear movimientos de nada, él piensa literalmente, no en sus pies, pero en el aire.
00:13:34No puedo ni empezar a caer.
00:13:36Rey Mysterio Jr. es alguien que estaríamos viendo por, creo, los próximos 20, posiblemente 30 años.
00:13:43Este, When Worlds Collide, yo estaba en la lucha estrella, en una jaula contra la leyenda del Perro Aguayo.
00:13:53He drove to the top of the cage, listen to the fans in the jam-pack L.A. Sports Arena.
00:13:59Me ayudó mucho en los Estados Unidos, pero ayudó mucho más a gente que vieron por primera vez a Rey Mysterio, a Cicocins, a La Parca, a Eddie Guerrero.
00:14:09Fue una noche increíble y esta noche va a estar increíble también porque la gente que está en cargo entienden que la lucha libre debe ser como es en México y no la van a americanizar.
00:14:26Fue el momento de AAA a nivel mundial, una noche que cambió la percepción y sentó las bases para la eventual explosión de la lucha libre en WWE y WCW.
00:14:42Worlds Collide no solo fue un espectáculo, fue un momento histórico.
00:14:46Una declaración que demostró que la lucha libre debe estar en el escenario mundial.
00:14:57¡Qué velada la que estamos teniendo!
00:15:00Gracias, Top W, por traer a AAA a nuestra casa y permitir que el rojido batido se sienta en el mundo entero.
00:15:05¡Es un gusto para nosotros estar presente aquí, teniendo la historia como hace 31 años! ¡Esto es Worlds Collide!
00:15:11¡Esto es Worlds Collide! ¡Esto es Lucha Libre AAA! Y ahorita que ya estamos en confianza, ganaron los regios ahorita.
00:15:17¡Nos vemos la próxima semana en Triple Mania!
00:15:19¡No le abran la casa! ¡No los voy a dejar pasar! ¡No le abran la casa!
00:15:23¡Vamos con Vero! ¡Vamos con Vero que tiene más para nosotros!
00:15:25¡Vamos! ¡Vamos contigo Vero!
00:15:26¡Hijo del vikingo! El día de hoy, con un compromiso muy importante, vas a enfrentar a Chad Gable,
00:15:33pero además vas a poner en riesgo el megacampeonato de la AAA. ¿Cómo te sientes?
00:15:38¡Nervous! Chad Gable no es cualquier rival. Es un maestro del estilo americano.
00:15:43Eso no significa que tenga miedo. Esto significa que importa.
00:15:49¡Vero! ¡I'm going to fly!
00:15:50Hoy estoy listo para defender mi megacampeonato en frente de toda mi raza.
00:15:59You heard him. He's more than ready to defend that championship, that megachampionship of AAA,
00:16:04frente a Chad Gable. Chad Gable, he thinks he's a great rival. He thinks he's the master of American style.
00:16:10Muy buena suerte. Good luck.
00:16:11Muchas gracias.
00:16:12Well, the megachampionship on the line in our main event, but coming up next,
00:16:16it is the NXP North American Championship up for grabs,
00:16:20as Ethan Page defends in a fatal four-way match against Laredo Kidd, Ray Phoenix, and Javon Evans.
00:16:29And Conan, we talk about the importance of this event to the Latin community.
00:16:33That includes Puerto Ricans like the great Savio Vega,
00:16:37the leader of Los Boricuas many years back.
00:16:40One of the greatest to ever come from Puerto Rico.
00:16:42He's in the house alongside the former World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest,
00:16:48showing their respect to the culture and the icons that came before them,
00:16:54including this man, Conan.
00:16:57Forty years in the game for Blue Demon Jr.
00:17:01probably the second most symbolic match in the history of Mexico wrestling,
00:17:08the first being Enxanco.
00:17:10He's done it all at 40 years, but I also want to show love to Damian Priest.
00:17:14And Javon Vega are so boldly proud of their culture and represent it well.
00:17:21Okay, can I just say something real quick?
00:17:22Yes, sir.
00:17:23There is no way this match is not going to be fired.
00:17:27Agreed.
00:17:28Los Angeles, California, and all around the world.
00:17:38It is time to get bouncy.
00:17:44Conan, I know you've seen Javon Evans.
00:17:46How impressed have you been with this 21-year-old young man?
00:17:51I'm super impressed.
00:17:52I think WWE has already identified he's going to be a star of the future,
00:17:58and I concur.
00:18:01This is going to be Javon Evans' first opportunity to challenge
00:18:04for the NXT North American Championship,
00:18:07despite coming extremely close on several occasions
00:18:10to becoming the NXT Champion.
00:18:12Javon Evans never really considered himself a Lucha Gore,
00:18:16but I don't know if anyone on this card tonight
00:18:19is more comfortable in the sky.
00:18:21You're correct.
00:18:24Although I think this man might take exception.
00:18:27Well, here's the thing.
00:18:28He's usually the best high flyer in the ring.
00:18:31Now he's got two Laredo and Phoenix.
00:18:34Laredo Kid, the reigning AAA World Cruiserweight Champion,
00:18:39has a chance to become double champion
00:18:41here at Worlds Corride.
00:18:45Laredo Kid has competed for TNA, for AAA,
00:18:48companies all around the globe.
00:18:50This is one of our first chances
00:18:51to see Laredo Kid on this grand stage.
00:18:57As a matter of fact,
00:18:59Laredo Kid oftentimes teams with Octagon Jr.,
00:19:02who was in our first Trios match,
00:19:04as the Aztec Warriors.
00:19:06Yes.
00:19:06What can you tell me about Laredo Kid, Conan?
00:19:09Very innovative.
00:19:10He's a guy that I think that people are going to get behind,
00:19:14even though it's the first time they're probably seeing him.
00:19:16And, you know, Javon is usually the best high flyer in the ring,
00:19:20but as I said before,
00:19:21now he's got Phoenix and Laredo to contend with,
00:19:24so he better bring his A++ game.
00:19:27He could be in for a mid-air dogfight.
00:19:32Conan, he has taken WWE by storm,
00:19:49but you told me earlier
00:19:51that had it not been for Rey Fenix,
00:19:53we may not be here
00:19:55with WWE and AAA together.
00:19:58Let me tell you something.
00:20:03You have not seen the best of Rey Fenix.
00:20:05He's still getting his feet wet,
00:20:07but he's an innovator,
00:20:09he's a risk taker,
00:20:10and he's just,
00:20:12let me just,
00:20:13another thing.
00:20:14Rey Mysterio set the bar
00:20:16for high flyers.
00:20:18Then it was Fenix,
00:20:20and then Bakingo.
00:20:22Well, Fenix still has work to do,
00:20:24a potential North American championship
00:20:27in his future.
00:20:29This man was the first ever triple crown champion
00:20:32in AAA.
00:20:33As a matter of fact,
00:20:34Fenix held the mega championship,
00:20:36which Bakingo will defend
00:20:38against Chad Gable tonight.
00:20:40Conan,
00:20:40is it safe to say
00:20:41you're expecting Fenix
00:20:42to make more history today?
00:20:44100%,
00:20:45to tell you the truth,
00:20:46there could be any of these guys.
00:20:48They're legitimate threats
00:20:49for Ethan Page's title.
00:20:52Not a betting man, I see.
00:20:57I thought I was going to sit on the fence.
00:20:58It seems like you might have mastered that art.
00:21:01Like I said,
00:21:01they all have a legitimate chance.
00:21:03Why?
00:21:04Do you have a favorite?
00:21:05I have no favorites.
00:21:06I have to be fair and unbiased.
00:21:07I'm kidding,
00:21:07why are you coming at me like that?
00:21:09Making sure you're paying attention.
00:21:12Look at this.
00:21:13I do happen to know,
00:21:39Conan,
00:21:39that Ethan Page
00:21:40is not a young man
00:21:41that you're a fan of.
00:21:43Well, no,
00:21:43he's got a big mouth
00:21:44and he couldn't be
00:21:45starved.
00:21:46He was thrown by a ninja.
00:21:48He's got idiot's luck.
00:21:51But either way,
00:21:52the idiot's luck,
00:21:53as you put it,
00:21:54has led Ethan Page
00:21:55to capturing
00:21:55the North American Championship
00:21:58in NXT,
00:21:58knocking off Ricky Saints.
00:22:01But now,
00:22:02Page has the unenviable task
00:22:04of defending against
00:22:06three of the highest
00:22:07flyers in the game.
00:22:09Conan,
00:22:09you had great success
00:22:10in Lucha Libre,
00:22:11but you were never
00:22:12a high flyer.
00:22:13What does Ethan Page
00:22:14have to do
00:22:15to escape with his gold tonight?
00:22:17Well,
00:22:17what I would say
00:22:18about Ethan Page
00:22:18is he's got a big mouth
00:22:19and a big eagle,
00:22:20but he backs it up.
00:22:22And he's always
00:22:23one step ahead.
00:22:24And if you're a high flyer,
00:22:25he's going to try
00:22:26to ground you.
00:22:27I mean,
00:22:28just a very cerebral
00:22:29in the ring.
00:22:30I will give him that.
00:22:31The next one
00:22:35is a battle battle
00:22:37of four scents
00:22:39and it's for
00:22:40the North American Championship
00:22:44of NXT.
00:22:50I present you

00:24:08Ethan Page.
00:24:10This is going to suck for you guys.
00:24:16This is a field of challengers
00:24:21truly encompassing
00:24:22the North American Championship.
00:24:24Obviously,
00:24:25Ethan Page
00:24:25representing Canada,
00:24:27Rey Friñez
00:24:28and Laredo Kidd
00:24:29representing Mexico,
00:24:30and Javon Evans
00:24:32from the United States.
00:24:34It's going to be a massive day
00:24:36for the Lucha Brothers.
00:24:37Rey Friñez has this opportunity,
00:24:39and later tonight,
00:24:40his brother Penta
00:24:41competes in the
00:24:41Men's Money in the Bank
00:24:42ladder match.
00:24:43Yeah, 100%.
00:24:44Let me tell you a story.
00:24:45When Rey Friñez
00:24:46was a little kid,
00:24:48Pentagon brought him
00:24:49to see Rey Mysterio
00:24:50at an autograph signing
00:24:51in Mexico City,
00:24:53and it was so packed
00:24:54that they broke windows
00:24:55and they had to shut it down
00:24:57and he never got the autograph
00:24:59and he started to cry
00:25:00and I was able to introduce
00:25:02Friñez to Rey Mysterio
00:25:03like around 15 years later.
00:25:06Are you taking credit
00:25:07for Rey Friñez
00:25:08in this business,
00:25:08going at?
00:25:10Well, I did discover him.
00:25:12Well, you made
00:25:13a hell of a discovery
00:25:14as Ethan Page
00:25:16already eliminated
00:25:17from this matchup.
00:25:18Not a situation
00:25:19he wants to be in.
00:25:20First fall
00:25:21will be declared
00:25:23the winner.
00:25:24Oh, that was beautiful.
00:25:25Absolutely it was.
00:25:28Phoenix and Laredo Kidd
00:25:29exchanging
00:25:29high-level Lucha skills.
00:25:36Wow!
00:25:37Wow!
00:25:38I think Ethan Page
00:25:40might have just had
00:25:41some teeth slapped
00:25:41all the way to San Francisco
00:25:42after that right hand
00:25:43by Laredo Kidd.
00:25:45Well, Ethan tried
00:25:46to do a phantasma
00:25:47and the Garza
00:25:48didn't move out of the way,
00:25:49remember?
00:25:49Yes, sir.
00:25:50When Tagano
00:25:50crashed and burned?
00:25:52Obviously,
00:25:53even in the locker room,
00:25:54everybody doing their homework.
00:25:54This is going to be good
00:25:55because I saw them
00:25:57as a tag team
00:25:58on SmackDown.
00:25:59They look great.
00:26:00A tag team
00:26:01that had their victory
00:26:02spoiled by none other
00:26:03than Ethan Page.
00:26:05No doubt,
00:26:06Phoenix and Javon
00:26:07have not forgotten,
00:26:08but feel the energy
00:26:10in here, Cody.
00:26:10People know
00:26:11it's just got real.
00:26:13These are two of the best.
00:26:21Oh, Evans,
00:26:22schoolboy,
00:26:23shoulders down.
00:26:24Smart decision by Javon.
00:26:25Yeah, but too early.
00:26:26Too early.
00:26:27Too early.
00:26:28We have a little game
00:26:29of Kiena's Mas Macho.
00:26:30Yes.
00:26:34Wow.
00:26:37Yeah,
00:26:38Pentagon and Phoenix
00:26:39will slap the taste
00:26:40out your mouth.
00:26:43Evans now following up
00:26:44with a series
00:26:45of heavy right forearms.
00:26:52Javon Evans
00:26:52showing just how bouncy
00:26:54he can get.
00:26:55Great counter by Phoenix.
00:26:59Otro Piratazzo
00:27:00walks the ropes.
00:27:07That is unbelievable.
00:27:10That's why I told you
00:27:11that Phoenix is an innovator.
00:27:13Is an innovator
00:27:14just like Javon is.
00:27:16You can hear the respect
00:27:17from the crowd here
00:27:18in the Kia Forum
00:27:18as Ray Phoenix
00:27:20and Javon Evans
00:27:22go to work.
00:27:23Neither man able
00:27:24to sustain an upper hand.
00:27:26People know
00:27:26when they're watching
00:27:27something special for you
00:27:28and this is special.
00:27:30Wow, Ethan,
00:27:31there's where the cerebral
00:27:32comes in, right?
00:27:32You're absolutely right.
00:27:34Ethan Page may not
00:27:34be a flashy competitor
00:27:35but he is extremely dangerous.
00:27:38Never afraid
00:27:38to take a shortcut.
00:27:40Always has strategy.
00:27:42Laredo from behind
00:27:42looking to take advantage.
00:27:44Down goes Ethan Page.
00:27:47Big boot by Phoenix.
00:27:50From the second turnbuckle.
00:27:52Down goes Laredo.
00:27:53Oh, he did a new
00:27:58rockerrana.
00:27:59Ethan, he's not known for that.
00:28:01You gotta be impressed
00:28:01by that, aren't you, Conan?
00:28:02100%.
00:28:03Page having a little fun
00:28:06but Javon Evans
00:28:10taking advantage.
00:28:12Big dropkick right on the money.
00:28:14Page goes sent to the outside
00:28:15one more time.
00:28:17Great height on the dropkicks, right?
00:28:19Look at the eyes
00:28:20of Javon Evans.
00:28:24Javon had designs
00:28:25on taking flight
00:28:26but Ray Phoenix
00:28:27put a stop to that.
00:28:32Big time kick
00:28:33on the ear of Javon.
00:28:34Spider kick.
00:28:35The spider kick connects.
00:28:38He's letting you know
00:28:39he's gonna fly.
00:28:40Animal sign
00:28:41which basically means
00:28:44don't give up.
00:28:46Phoenix showing no signs
00:28:48of giving up.
00:28:48No signs of slowing down.
00:28:50The forum is ablaze.
00:28:54And Laredo
00:28:54He took too long
00:28:55and Laredo was there.
00:28:57Ethan Page
00:28:58wants to get back
00:28:59in the fray.
00:29:00He doesn't want to lose
00:29:00his championship
00:29:01without being involved
00:29:02in the decision.
00:29:03From the top
00:29:03Laredo
00:29:04beautiful
00:29:05taking out
00:29:07Evans and Page
00:29:08simultaneously.
00:29:11I hope they repeat that.
00:29:13That was incredible.
00:29:15I have a feeling
00:29:16all four of these guys
00:29:18have a lot more gas
00:29:19left in the tank.
00:29:20Conan.
00:29:21Phoenix takes flight.
00:29:24Tony over the top.
00:29:25Incredible.
00:29:26And these guys
00:29:27are giving it their all.
00:29:28The people listen to them.
00:29:30The Latino nation
00:29:31has showed up today
00:29:33and they are happy
00:29:34with every single match
00:29:36that they've seen.
00:29:37The Latino nation
00:29:38and beyond.
00:29:39Phoenix gaining fans
00:29:40all over the globe
00:29:40as a member
00:29:41of WWE
00:29:42returning to his roots.
00:29:43DDT on the top
00:29:44of Page's head
00:29:45for the North American
00:29:46Championship.
00:29:47And Ethan Page
00:29:49kicks out
00:29:49just in time.
00:29:51Take another look
00:29:54at the height.
00:29:55Beautiful.
00:29:56The mind-blowing
00:29:57athleticism
00:29:58that has become
00:29:58a trademark
00:29:59of Laredo Kidd
00:30:00and Phoenix
00:30:01doing it like
00:30:02none other.
00:30:02The Tornillo
00:30:03taking out
00:30:04all three competitors.
00:30:06But this match
00:30:07rolls on
00:30:08and now Ethan Page
00:30:09in a lot of trouble.
00:30:10Phoenix could be thinking
00:30:11about the Mexican
00:30:12muscle buster.
00:30:13Page in trouble.
00:30:14But Javon Evans
00:30:15from behind
00:30:16with a kick
00:30:16right to the kidney.
00:30:17Why would you want
00:30:23tables in a match
00:30:24like this?
00:30:25Listen,
00:30:26everybody's entitled
00:30:26to what they want.
00:30:28I think this athleticism
00:30:29has already been
00:30:29off the charts.
00:30:30Javon Evans
00:30:31pointing out
00:30:32our way,
00:30:32Conan.
00:30:33You better be careful.
00:30:34This could get crazier.
00:30:37Phoenix with a kick
00:30:38right between the eyes
00:30:39of Evans.
00:30:39Palm strike rocks
00:30:41Ethan Page.
00:30:42We've seen
00:30:42two or three times
00:30:44during this match
00:30:44when you play
00:30:45to the crowd
00:30:46you pay for it.
00:30:47You're absolutely right.
00:30:49You've got to be
00:30:49more focused.
00:30:50Veteran advice
00:30:51from one of the greats
00:30:52but look at the power
00:30:53of Ethan Page.
00:30:54Wow.
00:30:55On top of Javon.
00:30:56On top of Javon
00:30:58and now he's going to fly.
00:30:59Page from the top.
00:31:01Big splash
00:31:02onto Evans
00:31:02to retain
00:31:04the North American title.
00:31:05I don't think
00:31:06Ethan does
00:31:06this many flying moves
00:31:07in one year.
00:31:08He's done it already
00:31:09in one match.
00:31:10Ripping Evans up,
00:31:11driving him down.
00:31:12Another attempt
00:31:12for the North American title
00:31:14and Phoenix breaks
00:31:16up the attempt.
00:31:17Do you think
00:31:19that Ethan's
00:31:19trying to show them
00:31:20hey, I complied too?
00:31:22Listen, I think
00:31:22Ethan Page
00:31:23is doing anything
00:31:24and everything
00:31:24he can and has to do
00:31:26to leave L.A.
00:31:27with his coveted
00:31:28North American title.
00:31:31Phoenix looking
00:31:32for the spider kick
00:31:33once again
00:31:34and Laredo
00:31:35gets the best
00:31:36of that exchange.
00:31:39Here comes Laredo
00:31:40the kid.
00:31:42Epic forearm
00:31:43in the turnbuckle.
00:31:44Michinoku driver.
00:31:47Laredo could be looking.
00:31:51Twisting moonsault.
00:31:52Ethan Page
00:31:54from behind.
00:31:55Laredo out of the way.
00:31:59Big forearm
00:32:03and Ethan Page
00:32:05now finds himself
00:32:06in trouble.
00:32:06Phoenix from behind.
00:32:08Changing waist lock
00:32:09with Laredo.
00:32:11Wow!
00:32:13Unbelievable!
00:32:14Into the cover
00:32:14for the North American title!
00:32:16And Evans keeps
00:32:17his opportunity alive
00:32:19as well as
00:32:20Ethan Page's reign
00:32:21for the moment.
00:32:23Let's take another
00:32:23look at this, Conan.
00:32:24I honestly don't even know
00:32:25what you call this.
00:32:27Wow.
00:32:28A DDT version
00:32:29of a Destroyer.
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:32Whatever you call it,
00:32:33it was impressive
00:32:34but ultimately
00:32:35not enough
00:32:35to keep Phoenix down.
00:32:39You hear the people.
00:32:40I sure do.
00:32:40What are they chanting?
00:32:41This is awesome.
00:32:43You will get
00:32:43no argument from us.
00:32:46Evans bouncing
00:32:49off the middle rope.
00:32:51Tilted Whirl
00:32:52Backbreaker
00:32:52takes down Javon.
00:32:56The Kid Redora
00:32:57delivered by Laredo Kid.
00:33:00Tilted Whirl
00:33:01with the
00:33:01very Mexican move.
00:33:05Evans thwarting
00:33:06whatever Laredo
00:33:07had planned there.
00:33:09Now Laredo Kid
00:33:10stuck in the tree
00:33:11of woe.
00:33:14What is Evans
00:33:15going to do next?
00:33:17Look at that.
00:33:18Bouncing off the bottom
00:33:19into the German suplex.
00:33:21Lightning speed
00:33:22from the young OG.
00:33:28Evans looking to make
00:33:29a little history.
00:33:34Clear the deck.
00:33:36Here comes Evans.
00:33:38Whoa.
00:33:38Whoa.
00:33:39Whoa.
00:33:40Are you guys okay?
00:33:42Are you kidding me?
00:33:44Bro, they just landed
00:33:45right next to us.
00:33:46Everybody all right
00:33:47over there, gentlemen?
00:33:50I wish they would have
00:33:51taken out all three
00:33:52of the Spanish announcers.
00:33:53I believe.
00:33:55Everybody seems to be
00:33:56unscathed aside
00:33:57from Ethan Page
00:33:58but Javon
00:33:59still has work to do.
00:34:01What?
00:34:01No way.
00:34:02You don't think so.
00:34:05Conan, this is nuts.
00:34:06This is almost,
00:34:06remember the bandaminator?
00:34:08Yeah.
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:09This looks like
00:34:10what it might be.
00:34:11Oh my God!
00:34:13Evans didn't get
00:34:14all of it
00:34:15but a twisting kick
00:34:17connected on the face
00:34:18of Laredo
00:34:18but here comes Ray Phoenix
00:34:20looking to capitalize.
00:34:22Red Dot
00:34:23on the money.
00:34:24Javon Evans
00:34:25closing in
00:34:26on the North American
00:34:27Championship.
00:34:29Springboard cutter.
00:34:30The height
00:34:31and the threat.
00:34:31Cover.
00:34:34And Ethan Page
00:34:36to the rescue.
00:34:36The height
00:34:37and the threat
00:34:37of system
00:34:38is crazy ridiculous
00:34:39with Javon.
00:34:41Let's take another look
00:34:43at your right.
00:34:43Crazy ridiculous
00:34:44and
00:34:45insanely precise
00:34:47flying blind.
00:34:49Cutter connects
00:34:50but Ethan Page
00:34:51preserves his championship
00:34:52reign just a little longer.
00:34:54Oh wait.

00:34:59furious
00:35:00teeing off
00:35:01on the North American
00:35:02champion.

00:35:05just snapped
00:35:05the top rope
00:35:06across the throat
00:35:06of Javon Evans.
00:35:08Beautiful veteran move.
00:35:09Beautiful veteran move.
00:35:12Resourceful.
00:35:14And now
00:35:15Page
00:35:16looking to pick
00:35:17the bones
00:35:18of a fallen Phoenix.
00:35:19I'm going to be
00:35:19fixed.
00:35:21I'm going to be
00:35:21huge
00:35:22of all your people.
00:35:23You understand, Phoenix?
00:35:25And he's talking
00:35:26trash to Phoenix.
00:35:28Phoenix dropkicks him.
00:35:29That might have been
00:35:30a mistake.
00:35:30Oh, the amigo.
00:35:32Goodbye amigo
00:35:34kick.
00:35:36Page
00:35:37spills to the floor
00:35:37but here comes
00:35:38Laredo Kidd.
00:35:39Phoenix out of the way.
00:35:40Kick to the back
00:35:41of Laredo's neck.
00:35:45No one does it
00:35:47quite like Ray.
00:35:48Phoenix
00:35:48double stomp.
00:35:50Yeah!
00:35:52Bro, this is nonstop.
00:35:53How could you not
00:35:54like this match?
00:35:56My mind is blown.
00:35:57Our jaws have been
00:35:58off and on the table
00:36:00since the opening bell
00:36:01and Phoenix continues
00:36:02to deliver.
00:36:03Evans is rocked.
00:36:05Magic!
00:36:05Magic!
00:36:07Phoenix
00:36:08may be looking
00:36:08for the Phoenix driver.
00:36:10North American title
00:36:11on the line.
00:36:12Down goes Evans.
00:36:14Phoenix!
00:36:14One, two, three, four!
00:36:17I thought it was
00:36:17going to be
00:36:18the Phoenix driver.
00:36:19It was more like
00:36:19the side slam
00:36:20type of move, right?
00:36:21It was.
00:36:22It was unbelievable
00:36:24that Javon Evans
00:36:26able to survive
00:36:29after being hoisted up,
00:36:32knee,
00:36:33then driven down.
00:36:35My brain goes to
00:36:37Mitsuharu Masao.
00:36:38The Emerald Erosion.
00:36:41Kick.
00:36:44This is wild.
00:36:45This action hard
00:36:46to keep up with

00:37:34Javon Evans
00:37:35trying to put Laredo Kidd
00:37:37in a precarious position.
00:37:39Open end
00:37:39strike by Evans.
00:37:40I'm surprised that
00:37:46Ethan and Javon
00:37:47survived that
00:37:48crash and burn
00:37:49we saw over here
00:37:50in the Spanish

00:37:54Conan.
00:37:56Everybody has been
00:37:56impressed.
00:37:59Nasty landing.
00:38:00Evans made contact
00:38:01with the stairs.
00:38:02Ethan Page now
00:38:03looking for the ego's edge.
00:38:05Has Phoenix up high?
00:38:07But Phoenix
00:38:08frees himself.
00:38:09Kick on the jaw,
00:38:10Page.
00:38:11Conan, Conan!
00:38:13Spanish fly
00:38:14on top of him.
00:38:15Page out of the way
00:38:16just in time.
00:38:17Phoenix with a Spanish fly.
00:38:19Muscling up Phoenix.
00:38:22Ego's edge
00:38:23to retain
00:38:25cover.
00:38:28Evans from the heavens!
00:38:35Oh my God!
00:38:38Look at everybody
00:38:39is in pain.
00:38:41Ethan is back.
00:38:42Phoenix isn't even moving.
00:38:44This guy's on his knees.
00:38:46Javon,
00:38:46the other Laredo
00:38:47rolls out of the ring.
00:38:49Laredo
00:38:49kid's still in this battle.
00:39:03Wants to make the most of the opportunity.
00:39:06Jumping punch from Evans.
00:39:07On the mark.
00:39:09Twisted grin attempt by Ethan Page.
00:39:12Stopped by Evans.
00:39:13Now, middle turnbuckle to the top.
00:39:15Springboard cutter.
00:39:19Ethan Page.
00:39:20All Ego dumps him onto the outside.
00:39:22Down goes Phoenix.
00:39:23Ethan Page.
00:39:24Twisted grin.
00:39:26He's gonna steal it again.
00:39:27One, two, three.
00:39:29Wow.
00:39:31Well, there's a reason why he's a champion.
00:39:33He said it before.
00:39:48You may not be a fan of Ethan Page, but you understand why he's where he's at.
00:39:51Well, you gotta respect his game.
00:39:53You know, he had three great challenges in front of him, and he came out still the champion.
00:40:01Here we see some of the closing moments.
00:40:05Phoenix delivers the Spanish Fly.
00:40:07Ethan Page hoisting Ray up.
00:40:10Ego's edge.
00:40:11But from out of absolutely nowhere, Javon Evans splashes Page.
00:40:19Keeps the match alive.
00:40:20Here we go.
00:40:21Flying blind again.
00:40:23Getting bouncy.
00:40:25Springboard cutter.
00:40:26But Page simply capitalizing on the cards he was dealt.
00:40:30Twisted grin on Laredo.
00:40:34Kid and still.
00:40:37So what's the count now?
00:40:39I believe it's still weighing in the favor of WWE.
00:40:43This next one is of the utmost importance.
00:40:47The main event is on its way shortly, but this moment belongs to Ethan Page.
00:41:00For more than 40 years, the WWE universe has been witness to the show of WrestleMania.
00:41:09But another legado has lived for more than three decades in the great country of Mexico.
00:41:17If Western Mania is the Super Bowl of Western, AAA is the World Cup of Lucha Libre Mexicans.
00:41:26Desde 1993, Triple Mania ha sido el evento definitivo de AAA.
00:41:33It's the show más grande del año.
00:41:39Los luchadores pierden caballeras.
00:41:43Pierden máscaras.
00:41:46Este, a donde las sorpresas más grandes las hacemos ahí.
00:41:49Pasión, orgullo y un espíritu de lucha infinito.
00:41:58Un estándar y una tradición que se remonta a un comienzo trascendente.
00:42:04La Plaza de Toros México, con un pieno impresionante en donde se quedó gente fuera.
00:42:14Y todo esto terminando y culminando, rompiendo el récord de asistencia de la Lucha Libre Mexicana,
00:42:19con más de 48 mil personas en Triple Mania 1.
00:42:22Una marca de asistencia para la Lucha Libre Mexicana que se mantiene hasta el día de hoy.
00:42:29Y cada año ha sido continuado y seguirá por todo lo que resta.
00:42:36Un legado que sigue creciendo y está listo para sumar el siguiente capítulo.
00:42:43Este agosto.
00:42:46Las dos triple manías más espectaculares que se hayan producido en territorio nacional
00:42:50y en las cuales veremos grandes rivalidades como nunca antes las habíamos visto.
00:42:55Y este 16 de agosto no va a ser la excepción.
00:42:59Va a ser una de las mejores triple manías en toda la historia de AAA.
00:43:04The main event time has arrived.
00:43:11Chad Gable, the master, the United States Olympian,
00:43:14who has not yet been able to capture a major singles championship,
00:43:18has the opportunity of a lifetime as he challenges the new face of Lucha Libre,
00:43:24the AAA Mega Champion.
00:43:26El Ijo, del Viquingo.
00:43:28The Kingo, you did it.
00:43:47You did it.
00:43:47You found the one way to make me even more excited about this match than I already was.
00:43:53In Mexico City, you won the AAA Mega Championship
00:43:57and you raised the stakes of our match that much more.
00:44:01Unfortunately for you, this is going to be a problem.
00:44:05Chad Gable has been on a hero's journey.
00:44:08My own vision quest to unlock the dark arts of Lucha Libre,
00:44:12and I've done it.
00:44:13And I've put in more hard work and more diligence and sacrifice to do this
00:44:20than you or anyone knows of.
00:44:23And someone's going to pay for it.
00:44:25You, my friend, are the one who's going to pay for it.
00:44:28You're going to become the shortest reigning Mega Champion of all time.
00:44:32Congratulations!
00:44:32When worlds collide in Los Angeles,
00:44:37I am going to win the AAA Mega Championship.
00:44:40With AAA under my thumb, all the people of Mexico will say,
00:44:45Viva la México.
00:44:48Arriba.
00:44:50Chad Gable.
00:44:51Eres un hombre pequeño jugando a ser grande.
00:44:55Y lo peor de todo es que andas diciendo que representas la lucha libre mexicana?
00:45:01Ja, ja, ja.
00:45:03Tú calculas, ya ves.
00:45:04Yo hago magia en el aire.
00:45:07Dijiste que mi reinado sería el más corto en la historia de AAA.
00:45:11Tú no sabes que yo soy AAA.
00:45:15La última vez que tuve el Mega Campeonato de Lucha Libre AAA
00:45:18fue por 833 días.
00:45:22La lucha no es un show para mí.
00:45:24Para nosotros es sangre, familia y honor.
00:45:29Algo que tú no tienes.
00:45:31En L.A.
00:45:32La historia será construida.
00:45:34Con lo mejor que tuvieron en AAA versus lo mejor que tuvieron en WWE.
00:45:39Y Vakingo, nuestros mundos están a colir.
00:45:43Chad Gable, vas a aprender que la lucha libre mexicana no se imita,
00:45:47se respeta.
00:45:48Vas a aprender a respetarnos.
00:45:51Ahora con el mundo entero observándonos,
00:45:54se darán cuenta que tan buenos somos.
00:45:57Esto es Lucha Libre.
00:45:59Lucha Libre.
00:46:04Chad Gable, a world-class competitor.
00:46:07To this point, the Grand Singles Championships have eluded him.
00:46:11This opportunity means the world.
00:46:14Much like the Mega Championship means the world.
00:46:17to El Hijo del Vakingo.
00:46:20These two world-class superstars clash now.
00:46:23And there we see Fluffy Gabriel Iglesias Conan.
00:46:30You can attest, he's been here since they opened the doors.
00:46:33Fluffy hasn't left his seat all night.
00:46:35Yeah, he's been crying.
00:46:36He's been turned up the whole night.
00:46:38He's a real fan of wrestling.
00:46:41And a very funny guy, by the way.
00:46:43Hilarious.
00:46:44A middle of wrestling heroes.
00:47:02He's a real fan of wrestling.
00:47:03To this point in his career, Conan, Chad Gable has been unable to capture a major singles championship.
00:47:25Do you think Gable has what it takes tonight?
00:47:28Well, let me tell you something about Yuff Mouth.
00:47:31You know, I think he's over-competent.
00:47:34I don't think he's never faced Bikingo, and I don't think he's ever faced anybody like Bikingo.
00:47:39I respect him.
00:47:40I think he's one of the most underrated wrestlers in WWE, and we're now starting to find out how great he is.
00:47:46But Bikingo's mad at everything he said about Mexico, and he's coming out with a controlled rage.
00:48:01Let's go!
00:48:03Come on!
00:48:05Let's go!
00:48:06Go!
00:48:07Yeah!
00:48:07Come on!
00:48:08Come on!
00:48:09You got it-
00:48:19Come on!
00:48:20Cut.
00:48:21Go!
00:48:21What?
00:48:22Come on.
00:48:23I fought!
00:48:24Go!
00:48:25Conan, we've been talking all night about how each generation of Lucha Libre has its own face.
00:48:38From Rey Mysterio, to Rey Fenix, to now El Ijo del Vikingo.
00:48:44Why is Vikingo the face of modern Lucha Libre?
00:48:48Oh, he's incredible. I mean, like I said before, he's an innovator, he's creative.
00:48:53The people love him in Mexico. He's a great representative of the company.
00:48:59I can't say enough good things about him.
00:49:03There we see. Triple Mania rapidly approaching.
00:49:10And let me tell you real quick, even though Gabe was an expert at Olympic wrestling,
00:49:15his dad was a great Olympic wrestler and he trained Vikingo, so he'll be ready.
00:49:19But Vikingo has a ground game as well.
00:49:22He took the next question right out of my mouth.
00:49:24And Vikingo, if you want to wrestle him, he'll fight you.
00:49:27If you want to fight him, he'll wrestle you.
00:49:30We're about to see a very interesting clash of styles between two of the best in the game.
00:49:36It's WWE versus AAA.
00:49:39It's the United States versus Mexico for the Mega Championship.
00:49:42Yeah, this really is when Worlds Collide.
00:49:45Ladies and gentlemen, the moment of the event, Estelar, the Worlds Collide.
00:49:55This fight is for the Mega Combianatio of AAA.
00:50:06I present you first, the champion of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
00:50:15Pesando 202 libras, Chad Gable.
00:50:32Y su oponente de Heroica, Puebla de Zaragoza, México.
00:50:41Pesando 156 libras, eres el Mega Campeón de AAA, Hijo del Vikingo.
00:50:56Conan, I know you know Vikingo very well.
00:51:08What is going through the champion's mind right now?
00:51:10Like I said before, controlled rage, he does not, he, you know,
00:51:15Chad has not done a good job of ingratiating himself to the fans
00:51:18and all that ish that he talked about Mexico, he's going to pay for it tonight.
00:51:23And the thing about Vikingo is when you look at like a Michael Jordan,
00:51:28like a LeBron James, you know they're special, right?
00:51:30When you look at wrestling, at a Chad Gable or Vikingo or Ray Mysterio for a start out
00:51:36or Eddie Guerrero, they're special, they're different, Shawn Michaels, Triple H,
00:51:40they were different, they were different, they were special.
00:51:44Chad Gable looks to show the world just how special he is tonight.
00:51:47If he can do the unthinkable nice takedown into the armbar by the champion Vikingo,
00:51:52having a little fun.
00:51:53It is hostile in here for Chad Gable.
00:51:56Yeah, but he's got some fans, some people actually chanting for him.
00:52:02Sounds like the John Cena chant.
00:52:04It sort of does.
00:52:05John Cena will be competing in tag team action later tonight at Money in the Bank
00:52:09and Chad Gable caught up with me earlier in the day and said,
00:52:11Graves, I'm going to go out and wrestle with a vengeance.
00:52:13I'm going to win the Mega Championship and then I'm going to go right down the road
00:52:16and support El Grande Americano for the Money in the Bank ladder match.
00:52:20Gable now showing his mat acumen at the expense of Vikingo in turnabout's fair play.
00:52:31Not only does he have an armbar on him, he's sitting on top of him,
00:52:35now he's kind of letting him out or he probably wouldn't have been able to get out.
00:52:39Listen, Chad Gable is a dangerous individual.
00:52:41He can injure places you didn't know you had places.
00:52:46Look at this now, Vikingo.
00:52:48Vikingo, looking to tie up Gable.
00:52:52Viva Mexico!
00:52:54A version of La Guitarra.
00:52:56How beautiful is that?
00:52:57Vikingo likes to call that the rune.
00:52:59Wow, I did not expect you to know that.
00:53:02I did my homework, Conan.
00:53:03I got a lot of respect for you guys.
00:53:04You ain't a very bright guy, but you got that right.
00:53:07Shoulders down.
00:53:09I may not be bright, that's why I got to be handsome.
00:53:11Look at this.
00:53:12Nice takedown.
00:53:13Both superstars with the same idea.
00:53:15Fireman's carry takedown by Gable, who once again takes command with a simple armbar.
00:53:20On the handsome thing, I wouldn't toot my own horn on that.
00:53:23But anyways, again, he's working that arm.
00:53:26Maybe he's going to keep working the arm so he can put him in a finish.
00:53:30Potential shoulders down.
00:53:31Beautiful transition into a backslide by Vikingo.
00:53:34Chad Gable looking to answer, trying to pick the ankle of the mega champion.
00:53:41Okay, who have you got in this match?
00:53:43It's too hard to pick.
00:53:44You said, and I'm the guy riding the fence.
00:53:47Well, listen, listen.
00:53:48I have known Chad Gable for many years.
00:53:49I consider Chad Gable a friend.
00:53:51I am a fan of Chad Gable.
00:53:53With that said, Vikingo has blown my mind every time I've seen him.
00:53:56It's truly too difficult for me to pick.
00:53:58All right, well, I'll pick Vikingo.
00:54:00All right, time will tell.
00:54:02You guys are up 3-1.
00:54:05You need to bring it back.
00:54:07Yep.
00:54:12Test of strength between the champion and challenger.
00:54:18Are you surprised by the slower pace we're seeing off of the opening bell by these two?
00:54:22Well, that's a smart thing for Chad to do, right?
00:54:24He's wearing him down.
00:54:28Methodical style being utilized by Gable to this juncture.
00:54:32Vikingo able to bridge up out of the situation, ripped over the top of Gable.
00:54:38Now, Vikingo, shoulders down.
00:54:41And again.
00:54:42It's too early for that, Corey.
00:54:45Great bridge by Chad.
00:54:48How about this?
00:54:49Core strength.
00:54:49He's supporting his weight.
00:54:50Yeah.
00:54:51Unbelievable.
00:54:52Unbelievable.
00:54:56Beautiful transition.
00:55:00Body scissors, shoulders are down.
00:55:03Prawn holds submission, or a pinfall attempt by Chad Gable, and Vikingo cuts Gable off with a shot to the midsection.
00:55:10How he does that?
00:55:11Sort of a modified scissors, is it?
00:55:18I'm not sure if this is more of an arm bar.
00:55:20Yeah, more of an arm bar.
00:55:23An arm bar executed by Vikingo.
00:55:26Great counter into the ankle lock.
00:55:28This is Gable's wheelhouse.
00:55:29Vikingo could be in trouble.
00:55:30Understanding, and escaping quickly.
00:55:39That's real wrestling right there.
00:55:41I love that.
00:55:42In its purest form.
00:55:44Yeah, you don't see that a lot anymore.
00:55:47Well, if Chad Gable becomes mega champion, I guarantee you're going to see a lot more of it down on your side of the border.
00:55:52Like I said, you'll have a long line of people winning that championship.
00:55:59What would that mean to AAA?
00:56:00In NXT, we recently just saw Trick Williams capture TNA's World Heavyweight Championship.
00:56:05Right.
00:56:05What would that do for AAA's morale to have a WWE superstar like Gable holding your most covered champion?
00:56:10Well, not just that.
00:56:10The blows out of the water 4-1, right?
00:56:13I think it would hurt a lot of people's pride.
00:56:16Because everybody came out here tonight, like I said before.
00:56:19Cover here.
00:56:19Everybody came out to show and prove, everybody came out to make a name for themselves, even bigger for the guys that have a name already, to impress the WWE staff, so maybe they're permanent members of the roster.
00:56:34Wow, look at this power by the champion, catching Gable out of midair.
00:56:40Looking for a swing in Uranagi.
00:56:42Gable able to counter.
00:56:43This is unbelievable.
00:56:44This is master level technique from both champion and challenger, and Gable hit the ring post hard.
00:56:53Followed up with a kick by the Kingo, now perched on the top turnbuckle.
00:56:58Drop kick by the champion, down goes Gable.
00:57:01Gable.
00:57:02That's his first high-flying move.
00:57:04You can see Gable came up clutching his right shoulder after making impact with a steel ring post.
00:57:16Gable might be hurt, Conan.
00:57:18You can hear him shout out in agony.
00:57:20And he's still holding his arm.
00:57:23The Kingo gets a boot up just in time.
00:57:26What on earth is the Kingo attempting here?
00:57:35How important is the Mega Championship to the Kingo, who held it for an astonishing 833 days before having to relinquish it due to injury?
00:57:43He never lost the title before.
00:57:44Right.
00:57:45Well, how important is it to have the world championship here in WWE?
00:57:48Enough said.
00:57:49Same thing.
00:57:51Right now, the Kingo building up steam.
00:57:55Meteora takes out Gable to the floor.
00:57:59Look how cool, how calm, under pressure the champion is, Conan.
00:58:03Always liked that.
00:58:04You said controlled chaos, controlled rage.
00:58:06Right.
00:58:07The Kingo now.
00:58:16Perhaps more comfortable on the ropes than anyone on the roster.
00:58:21Good.
00:58:22Beautiful.
00:58:23That was beautiful.
00:58:25Big Kingo.
00:58:27There you go.
00:58:28That's how you do it.
00:58:29Represent Mexico.
00:58:30Arriba Mexico, Papi.
00:58:32That was insane.
00:58:39That guy said, he's special.
00:58:45The Kingo to retain the Mega Championship.
00:58:49And Conan, even you have to give credit to Gable for surviving this.
00:58:53Let's take another look.
00:58:54He's a tough customer.
00:58:56A 630 splash to the outside across the back of the Challenger.
00:59:00It's a miracle Gable's still walking right now.
00:59:02Yes.
00:59:08At what point in the matchup could the Kingo become frustrated, Conan?
00:59:11He won't.
00:59:12He won't.
00:59:14Running, shooting star, but I think Gable got the knees up.
00:59:18Did he? Yes, he did.
00:59:19I think Gable just averted disaster.
00:59:22And now making a big Kingo-sized imprint in the diamond plate steel stairs.
00:59:34How important is this time for Chad Gable to recover, Conan, to get back into the fight?
00:59:38Well, it looks like he already did recover.
00:59:40Just don't mess with the crowd too much, like I said in other matches, because you're giving the Kingo a chance to recuperate.
00:59:46Yeah, we've seen that several times.
00:59:48Not pay off.
00:59:52But he's in total control now.
00:59:55Oh, he's lifting up the mat.
01:00:01Now he's getting something from under the ring.
01:00:04A table.
01:00:05We've got tables.
01:00:10People love that.
01:00:12Is this a sign of frustration from Chad Gable?
01:00:15I mean, Gable doesn't want to get himself disqualified.
01:00:16I don't think frustration.
01:00:17I think he wants to hurt the Kingo.
01:00:20Because it's about just inflicting more punishment on the champion.
01:00:24Exactly.
01:00:25So he can pin him.
01:00:26Wear him down.
01:00:27It's a war of attrition.
01:00:28Gable's got to be cognizant not to get himself disqualified.
01:00:30We've seen the officials be relatively lenient throughout the night,
01:00:33understanding the rules do vary between WWE and Triple A.
01:00:37Oh, my God.
01:00:38Gable's looking for a German suplex through the table.
01:00:42Wait a minute.
01:00:43He turned it around on him.
01:00:45Oh, look at this.
01:00:46By the champion.
01:00:50The Kingo puts the brakes on just the time.
01:00:52Back kick right in the face.
01:00:57Wow.
01:00:58Big time lariat by the challenger.
01:01:00And Gable again buys himself a few valuable seconds.
01:01:03Turned him inside out.
01:01:07Chad Gable scrambling.
01:01:09Following the champion.
01:01:10And hooks the far leg for the championship.
01:01:13The Kingo's still alive.
01:01:17And again, Conan, you've disagreed all night with any superstar messing with the live crowd here.
01:01:24Gable's doing it yet again.
01:01:25Do you think Chad Gable's playing with fire?
01:01:28100% because you've already seen it in other matches.
01:01:31How it's come back to bite him in the ass.
01:01:32You know what I'm saying?
01:01:34Just focus.
01:01:35You've got to be focused.
01:01:37The Kingo and Chad Gable.
01:01:40Play to the crowd after you win.
01:01:41Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill.
01:01:52David, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill.
01:01:53They were looking for a monkey flip out of the corner.
01:01:55The Kingo launched mid-ring.
01:01:56Here comes the challenger.
01:01:57Hooks the leg, once again, for him, across the face.
01:01:59face he's in total control and that shows how fast things can change in a match how hard is it for
01:02:06vikingo to adapt to a slower methodical pace we know he has the mat skills but is this somewhere
01:02:11that he's comfortable necessarily not really he likes to fly he likes to wear you down with like
01:02:17that 6 30 that he did over there and uh notice chad gable having a little trouble with his right arm
01:02:23potentially still from the impact on the ring post i wonder if that'll play into the finish
01:02:28we'll see oh great kick great escape by the champion
01:02:34and gable went to the throat again our official showing a little leniency beautiful german suplex
01:02:41with a bridge for the mega championship and gable can't finish the job just yet
01:02:51like i said before not only is he wearing him down he's listening to his breathing pattern to see how
01:02:56tired vikingo is he's trying to hurt him and um he's doing a really good job of being methodical
01:03:03but one wrong move he misses something and vikingo's gonna be and i'm pretty sure that's what gable's
01:03:09strategy is don't leave himself open to any sort of mistake because vikingo will make the challenger
01:03:15pay but what a boot from gable are you getting nervous yet conan a little bit cover here
01:03:24you can hear that the crowd here in the kia forum hushing up just a little bit
01:03:30almost a sound of concern a lack of energy as vikingo potentially feels his championship slipping away
01:03:42wow we could hear that from right here
01:03:45those chops wear you down you know that used to wrestle yes sir
01:03:55oh wow
01:03:59vikingo that sign that he did means another one well gable caught the champion on bar
01:04:08gable's got to release by the official's count of five but as you know conan it only takes a few
01:04:12seconds to snap a tendon to pop a ligament yeah rip a ligament exactly gable now from the top turnbuckle
01:04:19cone breaker out of the air a desperation counter by the champion both men are down
01:04:28do you see how fast a match can change in the blink of an eye it's been a theme all night gable
01:04:34looking potentially for a diving headbutt but vikingo just a step ahead double knees to the sternum
01:04:41of the challenger and that's what it's all about the beautiful triple a mega championship well what
01:04:47a historic day this has been we've seen some great matches we've seen celebrities we've seen legends
01:04:53oh look at this
01:04:57and we may still see a brand new mega champion if chad gable has his way but vikingo fighting his heart
01:05:03out conan right and we see and now and we're also seeing a championship match and money in the bank
01:05:08that's right octagon and dom octagon junior and dirty dom for the intercontinental title
01:05:13still to come it could be a landmark day it already has been a historic day for the worlds of both wwe
01:05:19and triple a but now the kingo from the top rope a lot of distance to cover
01:05:24good god man double stomp to the chest of the challenger to retain wow
01:05:36god and that one brought you up out of your seat yeah well you know i mean these two guys just like
01:05:42the other matches nobody wants to lose you're here fighting for pride you're here fighting to be noticed
01:05:48and these two guys are no exception take another look at this vikingo with a double
01:05:52stop perhaps to the shoulder of chad gable that has been damaged as we've established just how badly
01:05:58we remain unsure but kudos to gable for surviving up over the top turnbuckle with the apron goes vikingo
01:06:05kick right between the eyes of the challenger but kingo from the middle rope
01:06:16my god how beautiful is that move to retain and gable stays alive
01:06:24that look conan that look could mean trouble for the champion let's take another look at
01:06:30the breathtaking athleticism a twisting 450 reversing in midair good call
01:06:38again the people this is what vikingo wanted to get the crowd back into the fight
01:06:48handspring picked out of the air by gable looking for almost a gory special
01:06:52gable muscling the champion up razors edge position perhaps a niagara driver oh beautiful move they're
01:07:02just going back and forth they're just going back and forth exchanging moves don't waste time with the
01:07:10referee bro it's a great point conan gable reaching deep into his arsenal to pull that one out
01:07:16gable could be thinking about taking a high risk did you want to do a moonsault
01:07:25gable has one of the prettiest moonsaults in the game here it comes wow elanda standing up
01:07:34vikingo gets the feet up just in time vikingo now
01:07:38wanting to show gable how it's done but gable connects with an open hand strike to the chin
01:07:43what on earth is gable thinking here this could be a rivalry for years to come cory oh this this
01:07:53could be a career ender conan wow that was incredible that's gotta do it
01:08:02cover for the title
01:08:12let's take another look at this inside sit-out power bomb how did it even kick out i don't know
01:08:20i have no earthly idea how this match is still rolling on wow
01:08:34and you can hear gable saying to himself he's just a luchador he's just lucha he's still gable still
01:08:41favoring the right shoulder 100 i mean i can't believe vikingo is able to get up in any capacity
01:08:47after that power bomb that was incredible but vikingo almost miraculously staying in this fight
01:08:54eager to defend his mega championship vikingo promised to defend with blood sweat and honor
01:09:04drop kick takes down gable the challenger gonna fly again i think that's a safe bet conan
01:09:10he might walk the ropes the mega champion from the top turnbuckle in the top of the ring post
01:09:20oh my god oh my god that was incredible
01:09:29come on you can't tell me gable's gonna get up there's no way in hell conan there is no way in hell
01:09:35gable is getting up from this wow a mexican destroyer on the apron oh well we can't go through
01:09:44him back and just the technicality at this point congrats oh my god this is incredible i don't know
01:09:52who's more stunned conan and the fans yourself or vikingo that had to be a game ender that was the walk-off
01:10:00that was the end and now vikingo perhaps feeling a sense of desperation asking himself what do i have
01:10:09to do what does he have to do conan vikingo put him on the table that gable had set up for him
01:10:16from the top wow my god
01:10:23gable again thwarting whatever vikingo had in mind
01:10:28these guys are like michael myers everything uh every time you think they're dead they come up
01:10:33constantly soldiering forward two world-class athletes two of the best in the game and gable
01:10:40making the climb to the top turnbuckle vikingo below
01:10:49this place has come alive again this is incredible what we're watching
01:10:57i think the roof may blow off of the kia forum
01:11:04there's nothing else to say but the two words the fans are shouting right now
01:11:09what a match
01:11:16there's no loser in this match i don't see how either one of these gentlemen is going to make it back in
01:11:21the ring before the referees double count how you think i think so in which case vikingo will retain
01:11:25champions advantage in effect i don't think he wants to win like that
01:11:28look at that look at that they're both getting into the ring at nine come on the people are applauding
01:11:36much deserved appreciation for two of the best to do it
01:11:50and this is becoming a test of wills conan who's got more left in the tank
01:11:54gable out of the way just in time looking for the ankle lock submission once more
01:12:02it's cinched in middle of the ring vikingo may be in jeopardy this is the right time to put it on
01:12:08because vikingo's tired he's having trouble reaching the ropes but how much pressure is gable able to
01:12:13apply with the injured right shoulder good question
01:12:16gable cranking with everything he has vikingo desperately scrambling for the ropes
01:12:27gable looking to transition for a german suplex vikingo lands on his feet
01:12:33great spin kick gable is rocked on the ropes he might have hurt himself
