03:01Hello, everybody, and welcome to this episode of the Fro Wrestling Podcast.

03:05I am Dr. Fro.

03:06I'm very excited to bring this episode to you because we just saw the closing of AAA, Lucha

03:12Libre AAA's TripleMania 34 Night 1, and I can't wait to get into it before I do that.

03:17If you have questions, comments, something you want me to touch on in the future episode,

03:21the best way to do that is through the Fro Wrestling Sound Offline 267-642-1160, and I

03:26will get to those questions or comments in a future episode.

03:29In the meantime, we're going to go through TripleMania, all the happenings, what went

03:32down, and cover the rest of the day's news and rumors.

03:35We're going to start with the day's news and rumors.

03:36That way, I can really get into TripleMania.

03:38One, Samantha Irvin, former announcer for WWE.

03:41When she announced her departure from WWE and she left there, she was given a 24-month

03:45non-compete clause.

03:47And unlike the WWE talent contracts for the wrestlers, this one does not come with salary

03:52without pay.

03:53So she's been going 24 months with nothing, and her contract apparently runs out.

03:58That no-compete clause runs out in October.

04:00In the meantime, she's been working on independent music.

04:03She's got a song called Make Me that she released earlier this year.

04:06She wrote over the COVID time period.

04:08And once her deal is up in October, she's going to be free to do whatever she'd like.

04:13And I would imagine she may want to go and do something with her husband, Ricochet, in

04:17AEW.

04:18Because one of the big reasons she wanted to leave WWE in the first place, yes, her husband

04:22was leaving, and I'm sure that was part of it.

04:23But the other thing was, is that she wanted a more substantial role on screen.

04:27She didn't just want to be an announcer.

04:29She wanted to either be a manager, an advocate of some sort, get involved in some way, shape,

04:33or form.

04:34And WWE simply wasn't interested in that.

04:36Now, maybe she'll get that opportunity now, once this non-complete clause runs out in October,

04:40to actually contribute more to the show.

04:43Got to send out some well wishes to somebody who's very special to the wrestling community.

04:47I remember him debuting for WWE in 1989.

04:50Prior to that, he was in parts of Florida, did little stints in the NWA and things like

04:56that, little regional territories back in the territorial days.

04:59But I'm talking about Fred Ottman, known throughout the world to other people by the name of Tugboat,

05:03Typhoon, Shockmaster, Big Steel Man.

05:06All those names apply.

05:07He's a friend of mine on Facebook.

05:10Got to send him out some love.

05:11Fred Ottman posting that he is in the hospital.

05:13He was taken to the emergency room.

05:15We don't really know what the severity of his situation is.

05:19He did post a message online, hoping to get well very soon.

05:23So, prayers, well wishes, get well soon.

05:26It's going out to Fred Ottman, aka Tugboat, Typhoon, and Shockmaster.

05:30And I throw the Shockmaster in there because no matter how much he fumbled coming through

05:33the wall, it was still thoroughly entertaining.

05:35And that's what wrestling is all about, is entertaining the fans.

05:37He has always done that.

05:39I'll be honest with you.

05:40I always thought that they did a short feud with he and The Undertaker.

05:43And I thought they missed the boat.

05:44I thought he and The Undertaker had such great chemistry.

05:47And this is right when The Undertaker first got to WWE and they didn't stick with it.

05:51They pulled a plug on it relatively early in The Undertaker's career.

05:54I would have loved to have seen more of that.

05:55I always thought he didn't get enough of a main event opportunity.

05:58I thought he had that level of skill and then eventually moved into being one of the

06:02natural disasters, became a WWE Hall of Famer as one of the natural disasters with

06:05Earthquake, John Tenta.

06:07But I really thought early in his WWE career, he really had more to offer than they gave him

06:11a chance, but Vince was hung up on the Hulk Hogan bandwagon, you know, the Hulk Hogan train.

06:16And I understand that.

06:17I do.

06:18But I've always thought the world of this guy.

06:19He's a world-class human being.

06:21Such a nice guy online.

06:23Always shares wonderful insights.

06:24So tugboat, get well sued, Mr. Ottman.

06:27We are all pulling for you, bud.

06:29And feel better.

06:30Ric Flair in the news again.

06:32For two reasons.

06:34One, he's suing a digital company for signing a, basically giving rights to his name and

06:41likeness in exchange for a six-figure payout that he was never received.

06:46So he's suing for $10 million over his name and likeness being used.

06:50That's one thing he's in the news for because he keeps making these ridiculously horrible

06:54decisions.

06:55Clicking on emails and giving away his personal information and having bank accounts getting

06:59hit by fraud and that kind of thing.

07:01But this is just one more layer to it.

07:03But then on top of that, he's also in the news because he said some very confusing comments.

07:08He talked about how he's back in WWE.

07:11He and Triple H hugged it out.

07:13They made amends and he'll be at the Royal Rumble.

07:16Insinuating that for whatever reason, he would be able to, it's implied to some people he'll

07:24be at the event and he's somehow, maybe Legends contract or something, signed with WWE.

07:28I don't know if I buy that.

07:29September of 2025, he made it clear he was still under contract to AEW, even though he

07:34hadn't made any appearances since the Mongo McMichael moment when Mongo McMichael passed

07:39away.

07:40No word really on when that contract was going to run out.

07:43He didn't really do much for them in the terms of the entire contract.

07:46We stopped hearing about his energy drinks and things like that.

07:49So maybe he got freed up by AEW.

07:51Maybe his contract ran out and now maybe he's finally migrating back to WWE.

07:55I kind of hope that's the case because let's be honest, the guy's done a lot for the business

07:59and I get it.

08:00He has a litany of issues.

08:03I understand that.

08:04I'm not giving him a pass in any way, shape or form.

08:07But I do think that he could do more for the business in WWE than he can in AEW, at

08:12least

08:12right now in terms of what he's capable of doing.

08:14And heaven forbid he tries to wrestle again.

08:16I think WWE is where he needs to be, where somebody can get him to temper those notions

08:21and stay out of the ring.

08:22It's time for Rick to hang it up for good.

08:24From there, let's get into Triple Mania because I'll be honest with you, I thought this was

08:28a really great night one.

08:30Not overloaded with matches.

08:31There's a good number, but nothing too super consequential because you're saving all that

08:35for tomorrow night.

08:36And I cannot wait for tomorrow night.

08:38After everything I saw tonight, tomorrow night is going to be phenomenal.

08:40The first thing I noticed when you see the stream, and you can go to YouTube right

08:44now, Lucha Libre AAA and check it out.

08:46Now, the place is jam-packed in Las Vegas.

08:49It looked amazing.

08:51It looked like the fans are thoroughly engaged, very into the matches.

08:54You could hear them reacting to the big moves all throughout the night.

08:58The very first match is a six-person tag team match.

09:01I'm calling it a six-person or a trios match, but this is mixed gender.

09:04And also, I don't know how to say this.

09:06There are regular-sized wrestlers.

09:09There are mini-sized wrestlers and women wrestlers in one match where we have Adelicious

09:15and Masqueria Sagrada and mini-vikingo.

09:20They defeat Lady Shiny.

09:22They defeat Jack Cartwheel and mini-abysmo-negro, which I thought was a great way to start the

09:27show.

09:28I was a little surprised that mini-vikingo is the one who gets the pin by doing an inward

09:34450 splash on mini-abysmo-negro, but it hit on all counts.

09:39It was very exciting to watch.

09:41I really enjoyed everything they did with the match, especially considering what we're

09:45talking about here.

09:45Some of those smaller talents, especially down in Mexico, Masqueria Sagrada and Masqueria

09:52Dorado, both of them, are just incredible.

09:56These guys know how to go, and I love seeing them wrestle.

09:59So this was really, really solid.

10:01From there, we get a tag team, four-way tag team elimination match.

10:05Los Americanos end up winning by last eliminating Fraxium.

10:09Before that, they eliminated the LWO and the Tokyo Bad Boys.

10:14And the Tokyo Bad Boys, some people I saw online were like, who are these guys?

10:18They typically wrestle for a Japanese company called Gleet, but they have done matches for

10:24AAA before.

10:25This is not some new tag team they put together.

10:28And I did see reports ahead of time there were going to be some unsigned wrestlers going

10:31to AAA and performing for Triple Mania.

10:34Maybe these guys aren't signed and are just doing a one-off.

10:37I don't know.

10:37I'm pulling for some of that tomorrow night when there's still an open challenge for the

10:41AAA World Tag Team Championship for the War Raiders.

10:43I'm hoping we get a real surprise in that match.

10:46But this tag team match, dude, the action doesn't stop.

10:50It's non-stop.

10:51It's going and going and going.

10:52Super physical, high-flying, crazy stuff.

10:55Really great match.

10:56And when it got down to Los Americanos versus Fraxium, I could have watched that for another

11:0045 minutes.

11:01It was really action-packed.

11:03Tons of high spots.

11:04Tons of real physical stuff.

11:05This was Smash Mouth Wrestling.

11:07It was amazing.

11:08From there, a match between multiple women for the winner getting Arena Duranas Championship

11:14opportunity at Worlds Collide, we see Fabi Apache, Hiedra, and Natty all fall to Roxanne

11:23Perez of the Judgment Day, who will now get a championship opportunity at Worlds Collide.

11:28And I think this was the best move for them for her.

11:31They teased some dissension in AAA after the match with Hiedra and Flammer.

11:38Flamer, Flamer, I don't even know how they pronounce it anymore because depending on whether

11:41you're listening to English announcers or the Spanish announcers, you can get that either

11:46way.

11:47But that match is going to be phenomenal.

11:50And I would not be surprised if Roxanne Perez wins the championship at Worlds Collide.

11:54And then she's in Judgment Day with the Women's World Champion, the Intercontinental Champion,

11:58the AAA Women's Champion, Reina Duranas Champion.

12:01You know what I mean?

12:02And they just start racking up titles.

12:03If Don Mysterio retains.

12:05And we'll get to that in a little bit.

12:07But I think it was the right move to put it on Roxanne Perez.

12:10Even though I'm a little frustrated that a lot of these matches that include WWE people

12:13and AAA people, it seems like WWE people are the ones who come out on top all the flipping

12:17time.

12:18From there, three-way match, La Parca, Laredo Kid, Mr. Iguana for the AAA, oh gosh, I forget

12:26which championship it was now.

12:27I apologize.

12:29But middleweight champion, I believe.

12:32I could be wrong.

12:32I think it was middleweight championship.

12:34But La Parca is the champion going into the match.

12:36Again, tons of high spots.

12:38People love Mr. Iguana.

12:39If WWE doesn't sell more merch for that guy, they really need to feature him more on mainstream

12:44WWE television because he is so over.

12:46You could be moving those Iguana dolls everywhere.

12:49The match was great.

12:50Solid top to bottom.

12:51I really thought Laredo Kid was going to come out as the winner, especially after he put

12:54on such a great showing in Raw during the tournament.

12:57That did not happen.

12:58La Parca retained.

13:00From there, six, I was going to say six-man tag team, AAA, the AAA World Trios Championship.

13:07I'm still struggling with the Trios being the name.

13:09I'm old school.

13:10I still want like six-man tag team champions.

13:13I like that.

13:14It has a better ring to me.

13:15But we get the champions, Psycho Circus.

13:19They're going to be taking on Los Peros del Mal.

13:22We're talking about Daga.

13:23If you don't know who Daga is, he used to be the fiancee or maybe even the husband.

13:27I forget if they actually got married to Tessa Blanchard.

13:29As well as Berto and Angel.

13:32And they are accompanied by Carmen Petrovich.

13:35This match, fantastic.

13:37The only thing I didn't like is the ending.

13:39The ending of the match, you have interference on the outside, a distraction for Psycho Clown

13:46who battles all the way into the back.

13:48And you end up leaving two guys in the ring from Psycho Circus who the numbers game is going to

13:53catch up.

13:53And I'll tell you what.

13:54The one dude in Psycho Circus is, I mean that boy is enormous and that dude can move.

13:59Diving off the turnbuckles, hitting huge splashes and things like that.

14:02That guy's got a great skill set.

14:05But in the end, we see new AAA World Trios champions as Daga, Berto, and Angel pick up the win

14:13and take the titles home.

14:15In the main event, stipulation is, it is Rey Mysterio versus Omos.

14:21If Rey Mysterio wins, Omos can never wrestle for AAA again.

14:25If Omos wins, he is reinstated.

14:27If you didn't know, he was suspended previously because of an altercation he had.

14:31And this was the big match of night one.

14:34This is the main event.

14:35And here, I got mixed emotions about this.

14:38Rey still looks like, oh my goodness, he looks like he's still a 20, 25-year-old guy working out

14:43there.

14:43I don't know how he does that at his age.

14:46His gear tonight looked very reminiscent of the Halloween Havoc purple gear that he wore back in the day in

14:51WCW 1998.

14:53It was really interesting to see that.

14:55And everything about Rey's performance tonight was perfect.

14:58Omos, after all the years that he's been doing this now,

15:01I really feel like his skill set should have improved more at this point.

15:05And I'm not talking about, like, lumbering around the ring.

15:07The guy can move.

15:08He can.

15:09His physique is fantastic, especially for a guy 7'4".

15:12He looks amazing.

15:14But he just doesn't do anything impressive.

15:16Regular elbow drops, big boots to the face, splashes in the corner.

15:20I guess that's some things that are staples of big guys.

15:23But I just want to see something out of the guy that matters, that's different, that has a better flair.

15:28The match was not bad.

15:29It was well-constructured for somebody like Omos, who doesn't have a lot of...

15:33He's not as athletic as he'd like him to be.

15:35And he can't fly around the ring, or they don't let him fly around the ring, one or the other.

15:39The finish of the match, I mean, we have El Grande Americano at ringside, as is Dom Mysterio.

15:45And, of course, Dom Mysterio gets involved, pulls Rey out of the ring towards the end, brings El Grande out.

15:51He attacks Dom.

15:53It leads to Dom getting a chair and attacking El Grande Americano.

15:57That, I'm sure, is going to play into tomorrow night's match, where I actually thought...

16:01My opinion has changed.

16:02I thought El Grande Americano was going to win for weeks, months.

16:05And now I'm actually teetering.

16:07I'm thinking Dom might retain, because of the Roxanne Perez thing.

16:10Because you could parlay that into Dom and Roxanne, versus Liv and somebody else, if you split up the Judgment

16:16Day.

16:16Otherwise, you could have four champions in Judgment Day.

16:18Everybody's got a belt, except for JD.

16:21Poor JD.

16:22But I think that might make more sense, in a lot of ways.

16:25So, I'm really not sure what's going to happen tomorrow night.

16:27But, in this case, El Grande Americano gets laid out.

16:30So, that's going to play into tomorrow night.

16:33Rey Mysterio gets his hands on the chair, waffles Omos over the head after a ref bump.

16:37And I really thought they were going to give Rey the win.

16:39But, after a great sequence of moves, 6-1-9, splashes off turnbuckles, all that stuff,

16:45Omos does regain control, boot to the face, the choke slam, and he pins Rey 1-2-3.

16:51And he is back in AAA.

16:53He hits about three elbows on Rey, which I thought was kind of silly.

16:57I thought maybe it would bring somebody out.

16:59And, honestly, the word was, going into this show, that there are going to be television executives in Las Vegas

17:04watching this show.

17:04And that's why they did this in Las Vegas.

17:06If that's the case, this would have been a great spot, when he's attacking Rey after the match,

17:10to turn the lights off, hit the gong, and have The Undertaker be standing in the ring.

17:13Since you know he's in the building, because he's the lead booker.

17:15And that would have been a great closing element.

17:17He didn't have to get physical, because I know he doesn't want to, but just have him standing there.

17:21So, the guy, like, backs down and leaves the ring.

17:23I think would have paid in spades, especially when it comes to the corporate executives watching the show.

17:28I think they would have loved that star power.

17:30That being said, Omos leaves.

17:32And a few seconds later, they have a stretcher in the ring.

17:34They put Rey in a neck brace.

17:35They strap him down to the stretcher.

17:37And Omos decides to turn around, charge back to the ring.

17:40He beats everybody up.

17:42Rey's laying there on the stretcher.

17:43He can't move, because his arms are strapped down.

17:45Omos smiles at him on the ring apron, tears off the neck brace,

17:49and then picks Rey up in the stretcher and chokeslams him through a table.

17:54Phenomenal way to go to end the program.

17:56Don Mysterio looks shocked.

17:58He really did.

17:59Almost to the point you question whether he was wondering if his dad was okay,

18:02which was very strange.

18:04This was a great way to close out the show.

18:06It adds so much intrigue to tomorrow night.

18:08I can't wait to see it.

18:09This is probably one of the few episodes we've done that's exclusively,

18:13focused on the AAA show.

18:15And I'm not sad about the fact that we're doing this one,

18:17because this was really good stuff.

18:19I, in a lot of ways, think this may be one of the best shows I've seen

18:22in any company for quite a few weeks.

18:25This was great.

18:25Scale 1 to 5.

18:26This is like 4 3⁄4 stars, about as close as it gets.

18:29I thought everything on here was amazing.

18:31I really did.

18:32The action was great.

18:33And by the way, the one person I got to talk about,

18:36who I don't really bring up very much, is Jack Cartwheel.

18:39He's never been on the main roster in WWE.

18:41He's in AAA.

18:42AAA, that dude can move.

18:45I'm sorry.

18:46That guy deserves a much bigger platform.

18:48I don't know why they're leaving him toil down in AAA.

18:51Love his moveset.

18:52Love his athleticism.

18:54Love the acrobatic stuff he does.

18:56I'm looking forward to someday seeing Jack Cartwheel in at least NXT,

18:59hopefully on SmackDown or Raw.

19:00That's somebody who I think you could give a big level title to,

19:04and people would buy into it.

19:05So my kudos on Jack Cartwheel for right now.

19:08That's all the time we have for this episode.
