Miss Lucha Underground after last week's finale? Watch many of their top stars plus Rey Misterio Jr and Myzteziz tonight wrestling on the biggest lucha libre show of the year!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpwLTVIoE94

For the first time since the legendary When Worlds Collide show over 20 years ago AAA is on traditional PPV in the US, and this year's edition features English language commentary courtesy of LU's Matt Striker and ex WWE SAT guy Hugo Savinovich. It costs $30 for traditional PPV, and $19 for the ippv which you can watch at http://internetvluchalibreaaa.com. I was suspicious given the price difference but Voices of Wrestling told me on twitter that the iPPV feed would have the English commentary as well.

Card:

Dinastía, Drago, Goya Kong, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Daga, Mamba, Mini Psycho Clown, Sexy Star - each side has a mini, an exotico, and a conventional male and female luchador.
Averno, Chessman, and Cibernético (c) vs. Angélico, Jack Evans, and Fénix vs. Pentagòn Jr, El Hijo del Fantasma(King Cuerno), and Texano Jr. - AAA Trios Championship Match
Villano III, Villano IV, Villano V vs Monsther Clown, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown - Villano III's retirement match
Blue Demon Jr. & La Parka vs El Mesías (Mil Muertes) & Electroshock
Alberto el Patrón vs Brian Cage - Hair vs. Hair apuestas match
Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Myzteziz(Mistico I/Sin Cara I)

You can read thecubsfan's preview he wrote for Voices of Wrestling as he certainly knows far more about lucha than I do. You can also listen to Konnan talking to Dave and Sempervive about it on WO/F4W if you have a sub, although obviously AAA's booker is hardly going to be unbiased.

What time does it start? LU has me on enough of a high I want to check this out if I can but want to be sure I can see it live.

Edit: It says 6pm on the iPPV link but I have no idea what timezone that is.

It's 6 Pm Mexico City time, which is the same as US Central for now at least (don't know how Mexico does DST). 7 Eastern, midnight UK/IE, or one hour from now!

So can someone more up on AAA than me tell me what's up with the Perros Del Mal now that their leader and namesake tragically died? Did Daga just come out with their shirt as a memorial or are they still a thing? Wouldn't that be like Suzuki-gun continuing without Suzuki?

Yeah, the commentary's coming through in English now, cool!

Of all the matches on this card this is the worst one to put in a cage

Yeah, Alberto vs Cage would've made a hell of a lot more sense as a cage match to me.

Nothing is more frustrating & devastating than the production issues with the audio we've had tonight. No excuses. You deserve better.

it's sorta weird to me that Perros del mal is even still around as the evil rudo faction as they're inducting the late leader in the HoF as a beloved guy that died tragically.

After all the positive feelings I had coming out of Ultima Lucha, seeing this show was a real disappointment even outside of the giant technical issues. The Rey/Mysteziz match was definitely the top match of the night, and I dig the mask vs mask challenge even if the beatdown section after the match was incredibly convoluted. But I don't think I'll be buying the next one, just keeping an eye out for the results and watching any matches later that get a lot of buzz.

Yeah, I hated this show less than most but it'll still be while before I give AAA my money/

Court Bauer has a quick 7 and a half minute podcast apologizing for TripleMania.

Just started listening, but it took me a second to realize that "Konnan is in Bolivia" wasn't a euphemism.
