03:50Let's get into it.
03:51I am Dr. Fro.
03:52Welcome to this episode of the Fro Wrestling Podcast.
03:54There is a lot to talk about before we get into Triple Mania because, wow, what an ending to a
03:58show.
03:59Beautiful show.
04:00I hope you got to see it.
04:00If you didn't, grab a VPN.
04:02Check it out on YouTube.
04:03If you don't have a VPN, go to wherever you can to stream this.
04:06Great show.
04:07Before we get to that, we got to touch on what happened the night prior.
04:10In Chile, Stephanie Vecquer challenging Liv Morgan for the WWE Women's Heavyweight Championship.
04:19Now, there was a post put online on X by, oh my goodness, what is his name?
04:26He's drawn a blank.
04:26Adam Pearce, earlier in the day, stating that because of all the melee in the matches on Raw, he was
04:32making a match for Chile that was going to be Stephanie Vecquer challenging Liv Morgan for the Women's World Heavyweight
04:37Championship and that he was going to make sure that things were fair down the middle.
04:40And the way he was going to do that was by having a special guest referee, the man, Becky Lynch.
04:46And that's exactly what happened.
04:47It turned out to be a fantastic decision.
04:50Lots of back and forth.
04:51She really did a great job of calling it down the middle until Liv started getting physical with Becky Lynch.
04:56Shoving her in the face at first, hitting her another time.
05:00Obviously, that's a problem.
05:01She ends up hitting Oblivion out of nowhere, goes for the pin.
05:05She gets a one, a two, and then a flipping off by Becky Lynch.
05:09She gets upset.
05:10And in the process, we end up seeing La Primera.
05:14She ends up hitting finishing moves.
05:16She hits her corkscrew moonsault off the turnbuckle.
05:19I apologize.
05:20I never remember what the heck her thing is called.
05:22But she hits all that SVB and the Vecquer Inferno.
05:26Hits those off the turnbuckle.
05:28Pins her.
05:28Wins the championship.
05:30And there's two things here.
05:31One, if you watch closely, the video is online.
05:35Liv Morgan rolls over.
05:36And they are clearly breaking keyfabe and having a very special moment in Stephanie Vecquer's home country of Chile.
05:43And Liv is clearly sharing a moment with her, putting her arms around her head, using basically her hair to
05:48cover up that they're having a conversation.
05:50Liv knew how special this was to Stephanie.
05:52The world knows how special this must be to Stephanie.
05:55And for her to be able to be the one to pass the torch to her, to give her the
05:59championship opportunity, to lose the championship in her home country, had to have meant so much to Liv Morgan.
06:04It was a beautiful thing to see.
06:05And then celebrating with Becky Lynch, seeing her come out and talk to the crowd, seeing her share that beautiful
06:11moment with the people of Chile.
06:13Congratulations, Stephanie Vecquer.
06:14Great decision, Triple H.
06:16Doing it at a house show.
06:17Something we don't see very often.
06:18So in the last couple weeks, it has some very shocking title changes, whether it's Sami Zayn, Stephanie Vecquer.
06:23This is exciting.
06:24It makes it so you want to be at every WWE show because you just never know when something crazy
06:29is going to happen.
06:29And that's exactly what we got a couple times this week.
06:32Again, one last thing before we get into TripleMania.
06:34Rey Mysterio is having conversations right now, obviously, about his retirement at some point.
06:39We're not sure when.
06:40He did an interview with his son.
06:42He didn't give a definitive date, but he started to talk about how he started his wrestling career at 14
06:46years old in 1989.
06:48He said something like he doesn't want to look father time in the eye just yet, but he knows that
06:53one day, eventually, there will be retirement.
06:56But most important thing, I think, in the whole interview was he wants to stay active in the business,
07:02whether that be in the back, training young guys, being an agent, being in the creative process.
07:08He wants to do something.
07:09They asked him about how he wants to finish up his career, and he said, you know, as far as
07:14who he'd like to retire him,
07:15he said they've had one or two one-on-one contests that were in Rey's favor,
07:20and he said that what he'd like to do is he'd like to make history by having his ending come
07:24at the hands of his son, Dirty Dom,
07:26something that we just haven't seen before, really.
07:29He did also get asked about his daughter, Aaliyah, who is now training at the Performance Center,
07:34and I'll give you the quote here.
07:36It says, but now that I have my daughter training, I mean, that's like a different thing for me.
07:40I would really love to be able to try to share the ring with both.
07:42Why not?
07:43I don't think it's ever been done in history, so to be able to share the ring with my daughter
07:47and my son,
07:48it would be something, it's a personal hope or dream of mine, and why not?
07:53This is one of the only times anybody's really been able to make something like that happen.
07:56I think WWE would do well to make that happen.
07:58I think it would be a very special thing for the fans, and I'm going to go against what Rey
08:04said here for something else.
08:05What I've been waiting for for all these years is for a reconciliation with he and Dom.
08:10I really have, and I know a lot of people love Dom as a heel.
08:13If you're going to make Dom the World Heavyweight Champion or the WWE Champion, fine.
08:17Leave him a heel because he's a great heel.
08:18However, if you aren't going to put him in the World Championship picture, having a reconciliation with his father could
08:23be a huge thing.
08:25Because, let's face it, last time he was a babyface, he was still very young in the business.
08:29Did not have the presence to pull off being a babyface, and people were giving him a hard time.
08:34Now, he is so much more polished, so much more refined, puts on great matches.
08:39I think he could really run and soar as a babyface if given the opportunity.
08:44You could always flip him heel again later.
08:45I just, I don't know, something about it.
08:47I'd love to see them, all three of them, in a mixed six-person or mixed trios tag team match.
08:53I just think it would be awesome.
08:54Let's get into it tonight.
08:56Night two of TripleMania 34.
08:59I'm sorry.
09:00This two-night concept and all the action they built into these two days, these were better.
09:07Longer, I should say, and in a lot of ways better than WWE main roster PLEs.
09:11They gave us like six matches per night.
09:13There was some real exciting stuff that happened, stuff that we didn't expect to see happen.
09:18Now, listen.
09:18I understand some people have not been following AAA religiously, so some of what happened tonight you may not be
09:23familiar with.
09:23Or it may not have as much interest in.
09:27But if you're a diehard wrestling fan, there was a lot to be excited about here.
09:30First off, when they opened the match with the Battle Royale, and I don't even know how to pronounce how
09:34they called that Battle Royale.
09:35I apologize in advance for that.
09:38But you have Omos win this thing, and obviously I think that's what made sense because he is supposed to
09:43be that unstoppable force in AAA.
09:46Here's my problem.
09:48A lot of the spots seem repetitive to the last time we saw a Battle Royale-esque type of performance.
09:53I really don't want to see this become like a cut-and-paste carbon copy.
09:58Every time he's in a Battle Royale, he just wins doing the same stuff, and he always ends up with
10:01some guy who's super, super short and all that.
10:04You know, it was fine.
10:04It was entertaining.
10:05I had no problem with the match itself.
10:07I think, obviously, I support him winning.
10:09I'm curious to see if they ever put him into the AAA Mega Championship picture, which I think would be
10:15a great idea for he and whoever the champion is at the end of tonight to get into the ring
10:20and have that match.
10:21But we'll have to wait and see.
10:22But I think Omos is doing good work down there.
10:24I just wish he had a bigger repertoire of moves.
10:27I said that in my last episode for night one.
10:29I think at this point he should have progressed further.
10:31He's got the body.
10:32He's got the athleticism.
10:33You just got to really give him a few moves that aren't just, you know, splashes in the corners and
10:38boots to the face.
10:39We need more than that.
10:40From there, for the AAA Reina de Reyes Championship, basically their Women's World Championship, the champion, Flamere, defending the championship
10:51against La Catalina, and La Catalina wins the championship here.
10:56This is a huge get for her.
10:57This is a young lady who was in CMLL.
11:00Huge get for AAA when she transferred to this company.
11:02I'm sure WWE has her on her radar for eventually making it to the main roster.
11:07But this is a great way to kickstart her AAA career, giving her this championship opportunity against someone who's been
11:13established and been champion for quite a long time.
11:15This was very cool.
11:16Very happy for her.
11:19El Carnicero defeats Psycho Clown in a Mexican street fight.
11:23Here's the thing.
11:24I've seen some pretty violent matches in some of the Mexican wrestling promotions in the past.
11:29This wasn't necessarily that.
11:31But certain things just really get you.
11:33I love when we see the kendo stick basically splinter into pieces.
11:39It's not even a stick anymore.
11:41It's just what it is.
11:44It adds a layer to the brutality of the match.
11:46I think they could have done more.
11:48I really do.
11:48For somebody being a Psycho Clown, you would think they would do something.
11:52Pagano getting involved a little bit as well.
11:55His former tag team partner.
11:56So there was a lot going on here.
11:58But if you don't know the backstory, then you're not really sure who these other people are getting involved and
12:02whatnot.
12:03I thought this was a really great match.
12:04I think it's great to give the win to El Carnicero.
12:07We'll have to see where they go with him.
12:09I think this clearly puts him in a strategic position to potentially be a challenger for the Mega Championship if
12:15they're not going the Omos direction, which we'll get into in a few minutes.
12:19It's Ray Phoenix on the card defending the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship against Jack Cartwheel, Mini Vakingo, and Nathan Frazier.
12:27And a couple things.
12:28One, obviously, anytime I get to see Ray Phoenix perform, it is a blessing.
12:32He is one of the greatest pound-for-pound wrestlers in the world.
12:35Has been for years.
12:36I'm glad WWE is finally letting him do that.
12:38But I've got to say, Jack Cartwheel, it's a matter of time before they've got to bring him to the
12:43main roster.
12:44He's entertaining.
12:45He can do a lot of things.
12:47He's revolutionary movesets, high-risk stuff that's on the long lines of Javon Evans-type stuff.
12:52He is somebody the main roster fans would eat up.
12:55And I don't know how long you leave him down in AAA before you finally bring him up and give
12:59him more to do.
13:00The big thing, shocker for me, now maybe not for you if you're not real familiar with all this previous
13:06AAA experience and even some things from outside AAA,
13:10but the War Raiders came out with an open challenge for the AAA World Tag Team Championship,
13:15and we had no idea who was going to answer this open challenge.
13:17There were reports ahead of time that there were talents potentially going on this show who were not signed to
13:22AAA contracts.
13:23So I was really thinking maybe we had an outside tag team, maybe the Good Brothers, which that would have
13:27been a really nice surprise.
13:28I know they're with MLW, but you never know when those contracts run out.
13:33Anybody.
13:33I would have taken almost anybody.
13:34Just to have a real pop and a surprise, this to me was not a very big surprise.
13:40The arrival of the challengers, the Wagner brothers, El Ijo Day, Dr. Wagner Jr., who is a legendary luchador.
13:47I have no problem with him challenging.
13:48And his real-life brother, Galeno, who, if you haven't seen this guy, this is a 300-plus pound guy,
13:54and he can move.
13:56He did a diving flip over the top rope effortlessly.
14:00Didn't even touch the top rope.
14:01This guy's athletic for a big boy, and the Wagner brothers end up picking up the win and defeating the
14:07War Raiders for the AAA World Tag Team Championship, which is awesome for them.
14:11This brings the War Raiders' long run to an end.
14:13They won those championships way back on SmackDown, I believe.
14:17Actually, it was down in Mexico, but they won them from Berto and Angel Garza, if I remember correctly.
14:22And this was a great reign for them.
14:24Gave them something of relevance to do.
14:26Now maybe they'll go back to the main roster and challenge for the Tag Team Championship.
14:28We'll have to wait and see.
14:30But top to bottom, up to this point, pretty satisfied with the card.
14:35But then we get to the main event.
14:37Dominic Mysterio versus El Grande Americano for the AAA Mega Championship.
14:43And this had so much involved.
14:45Everything down to, like, Dominic taking the belt off and beating El Grande Americano with the belt so bad that
14:51he was blistering and welting right away.
14:53Purple marks all over his back and side and everything else.
14:56This was very physical.
14:57There were so many near falls, so many one-tooth, almost threes, two-and-three-quarters, two-and-seven-eighths.
15:04This was exciting.
15:05There were several times in the match I thought the match might be over.
15:08And then we start getting some interference.
15:09We have JD McDonough come out.
15:11We had the other Americanos come out and chase them to the back.
15:15And there's a dive off the top of the Tron onto a pile of dudes, which I thought was very
15:19solid.
15:20Then you start seeing the other Americanos come down to the ring, Rio and Bravo.
15:25And as they're coming down, here comes Omos.
15:27And now you're like, oh, here comes Omos.
15:28I was going to script the ending of this match.
15:29They go to fight off Omos.
15:31He basically wipes the floor with them.
15:33As he gets to the ring, McDonough has been cleared out.
15:36He's at the back.
15:37Omos comes down.
15:38El Grande Americano dives through the ropes and hits his loaded headbutt on Omos.
15:42And it looked like it might have done something.
15:44He backs up to hit him again.
15:45And he eats a big boot.
15:46And now Omos is getting involved.
15:48He goes to pick him up for another one of those choke slams, just like he did with Rey Mysterio
15:52the other night.
15:53It just wasn't looking good.
15:54But after plenty of effort, they end up eradicating the Omos distraction, getting back into the ring.
16:01It looked like El Grande Americano had things well in hand.
16:03When all of a sudden, as he goes up to the turnbuckle, Liv Morgan appears, the former WWE Women's World
16:09Heavyweight Champion.
16:10She pulls him off the turnbuckle.
16:11Dom ends up taking him down to first 619 into a five-star frog splash.
16:16I'll be honest.
16:17I really thought that was the end of the match.
16:19He won two and at the last second kicked out and eventually essentially hulks up and hits his headbutt again
16:27and pins Dominic Mysterio, crowning a new AAA Mega Champion.
16:32AAA Mega Champion.
16:34And Dom's reign has been going on for so long.
16:38This was an incredible run for Dom Mysterio.
16:40I think it did good things for him down in Mexico.
16:42I question how they're booking him on the main roster.
16:45But at least in Mexico, he's been booked very, very strong.
16:48And now you coronate El Grande Americano, the new hero of the company.
16:53He is so over with the fans in Mexico.
16:56Celebrating with that championship in the ring.
16:58I saw tons of replica championship belts outside the ring.
17:00That just tells you how much influence the WWE and their replica belt collections and things like that.
17:06All this has helped really grow the AAA business.
17:09And I think what the most beautiful thing was of this entire match.
17:13One, the entrance for El Grande Americano was amazing.
17:16At the end of the match, his celebration was amazing.
17:20What I really loved was the mariachi band playing for him at the end of the show.
17:24What an incredible sight.
17:25The fans, people crying in the stands.
17:28And this is a guy who, let's be honest, he's European, making believe that he's Mexican.
17:34That's insane that he's over as much as he is when he's not really what he claims to be.
17:39And the fans don't care because they appreciate his talent.
17:42And I thought that was really beautiful stuff to see.
17:44What a great match.
17:45I can't wait to see what Dave Meltzer's star ratings are on this show because some of the matches I
17:50can easily see him giving a lower star rating to.
17:52But I want to see what he gives for the Mysterio-El Grande Americano match because it had a lot
17:56of the calamity that Dave seems to like in his AEW stuff.
18:00So this is an opportunity he could really give these guys a very strong star rating.
18:04I don't know that it's five stars, but it was pretty darn good.
18:06Overall, the show in general for night two, I'm a four-star guy for this night.
18:12I thought it was pretty solid.
18:13I really did top to bottom.
18:15Not as many crazy shocks and surprises as I wish there were, but that's okay.
18:19You don't always have to have that.
18:21Across the two-night event, I actually thought night one was better except for the last match.
18:26The whole pay-per-view as a whole, the two-night event, easily four to maybe four and a half
18:30stars.
18:31I really believe that.
18:32This was a great, great showing for WWE.
18:34I hope this helps them secure a North American television distribution deal.
18:38That was a big part of why they did one night in Las Vegas.
18:40But at this point in time, we're just going to have to wait and see.
18:43Tell me what you think.
18:44What did you think of the show?
18:45What was your favorite match?
18:46What was your favorite spot in the show?
18:48What did you love seeing?
18:49How do you feel about the Stephanie Vicar winning down in Chile?
18:52What do you think about Dom Mysterio wanting to share the ring with his kids?
18:54Do you want him to face Dom in his retirement?

19:10If you're looking to bring a new friend to family game night, it's easy.
19:14I got three options for you.
19:15One, Sketchy People by Beazle Games.
19:17Kind of a cross between Chutes and Ladders and Pictionary.
19:19If you're not into that kind of thing, you don't like drawing, you don't want to be creative, that's fine.
19:23You don't have to.
19:24We've got all the work done for you.
19:25All you've got to do is take your shopping list and be the fastest one to get in and get
19:28out of the supermarket and Banani Market by Danny Doodle Games.
19:32Maybe that is also not your thing.
19:34Maybe you're like me, kind of a sci-fi nerd into that kind of thing.
19:37Maybe you want to cruise the cosmos grabbing relics on your way to the final challenge.
19:41You could do that with Legendary Elements.
19:43All three of these games available right now at thegamecrafter.com, along with thousands of other games independent game creators
19:50have made to entertain you.
19:51Because let's be honest, you've been using the same games your whole life.
19:54No more Monopoly, Parcheesi, Chess Checkers, Playing Cards All the Time, Screaming Out Yahtzee.
19:59We don't need any of that when you give an opportunity to something new.
20:02What I'm recommended highly, Beezle Games, Sketchy People, Danny Doodle Games, Banani Market, and Freddy Food Creations, Legendary Elements.
20:11Check them out again at thegamecrafter.com.
