Underrated post. AAA currently is the best wrestling show around.
>>
>>20559240
They should both be deported
>>
>>20559660
To America?
>>
>>20559240
This feud will mark a generation of lucha fans and they will talk about it for years
>>
the whites even took over the mexican wrestling? that's sad.
>>
>>20559692
If that were true, people would actually be talking about lucha libre. Yet nobody watches cmll, iwrg, or the crash. All they care about is the wwe wrestlers.
>>
>>20559240
Original should win. Kaiser will still get over as a face and Original gets insane heat. You build Triplemania around Kaiser taking Original's mask. So I guess you'd have Original beat Dom for the belt after taking Kaiser's mask, Kaiser takes the title from Original then title vs mask to settle the feud at Triplemania.
>>
>>20559769
This shit is so fucking retarded since we already know who is behind the mask. It’s a complete mockery
>>
>>20559769
If Gable won there would be a riot, kek. Kaiser is so unbelievably over in Mexico that they're holding parades in his honor.
>>
>>20559740
AAA has at least brought in some new viewers and actually has fans who pay regularly to go to shows.
>>20559769
EGA has way too much momentum, and should not lose his mask, he should win here and then OG does something horrendous to get heat, or maybe even put it on ice and EGA wins the title and OG screws him or something
>>20559825
Heaven forbid people actually get into storylines and characters

>>
>>20560011
It'd be great for Kaiser to have the fire of "you took my mask but I'm still going to fucking take yours" and Original rejecting the match for months. It keeps the face chasing his goal and keeps the feud hot. Maybe Kaiser's obsession is what inadvertently causes Original to win the title. I don't know. Taker has me invested in this feud though whoever wins.

I am so insanely hyped

The booking is great, because while I'm pretty sure EGA is gonna win...
There's this nagging doubt that OG might squeak it out, possibly from TKO meddling.
I almost expect a swerve double unmasking ending.
>>
>>20560515
>I almost expect a swerve double unmasking ending
Then the audience clapped and the wrestlers took a bow
>>
>>20560515
There is an incoming "reconquista" storyline incoming where mexican wrestlers war against non-mexican wrestlers. EGA is leading mexican wrestler side, newly unmasked Chad Gable leads the foreigner faction. Dorian flits between the factions and some of the good ones like bouncy boy get to be honorary mexicans.
The story behind it is going to be WWE/TKO "demanding" that the contract of Chad Gable remains, sparking outrage from the people who "want him gone".
>>
>>20560515
i don't fear TKO meddling so much as HHH meddling because he's jealous of the unanimous praise carder is getting for his booking while triple failure is getting shit on from all sides for his horrendous booking
taking the mask from kaiser would be such a laughably bad decision i think the shareholders might be able to sue over it
>>
>>20560519
What? You can't see it? The two of them locked in the ring, tearing at each other's faces, damaging each other's masks to the point of reveal?
>>20560526
I can see it, but where'd you hear this?
>>
They would be absolutely insane to unmask either of them at this point, it's gonna be a fuck finish
>>
>>20560568
>>20560515
It could be a reverse triple underfuck finish too. EGA wins, Los Hermanos Americanos storm the ring taking everyone out and unmask EGA instead.
>>
>>20560578
I hope they go with the stunt to have Rayo and Bravo and Julio y Bruto handcuffed near the arena to make sure they don't interfere.
>>
>>20560533
>I can see it, but where'd you hear this?
mmmmmmmm business secret son
>>
>>20560528
Fortunately HHH has zero creative control over AAA.
>>
>>20560568
Gable doesn't need the mask to keep doing what he's doing.
>>
>>20560735
Gable without the mask would probably draw even more heat. It definitely works for The Creed Brothers.
>>
>>20560194
Is there anyway to get caught up other than watching every single show?

CMLL is better. This feud is dimes but I hate how WWE midcarders are more of a focus than actual AAA Lucha stars.
>>
>>20559769
A massively over babyface is way more valuable than a nuclear heat heel because the face sells massive merch. The heel doesn't sell merch outside of mark circles

Besides Gable doesn't need Americano. He has that Kurt Angle charisma going for him. In AAA he can become a legit main eventer if he continues in this heel persona.
>>
>>20561176
We don't give a shit about that in Mexico dude. Racist wars are only over in America, England, and France.

>>20561470
Gable should be a main eventer in WWE but they keep fucking him up
The americano nonsense was just a way to get Penta, Vikingo and a couple other luchadors over when they brought them in, maybe he'd have a run as the top AAA heel and then probably a run at least in the upper midcard in WWE. Gable was working like a man who's been promised the moon if he gets that last gimmick over until he got injured
Oh the one hand, Kaiser bringing the gimmick up as a mega face is entertaining as fuck and the storyline is 10/10, of course Gable is a AAA main eventer
On the other, Gable is already 40, and it feels like he's got so much left to offer but so little time to do so
>>
>>20559633
Nah, the only thing that's good is the El grande feud, other than that it's a pretty dimeless show.

Yeah no Gable should just retire himself after the unmasking, the damage done to his career is something no one recovers from, it's like that DDP stalker storyline.
>>
>>20561646
It's great you just listed all the shit that incompetent bookers have done to never properly use a guy who is one of the best wrestlers of his generation
Beyond his freak athleticism and perfect selling he's also versatile and charismatic
But yeah you're right he should just give up and do nothing idk maybe order pizza and goon all day in joshi threads on peedub
>>
>>20561646
Breaking your neck, being a manlet and someone else being more talented than you in a gimmick is not thr fault of the bookers.
The Sami Hogan stuff is the only thing that can be attributed to shitty booking, the rest is either Gabe himself or Kaiser just being better.
>>
Shit >>20561667 meant for>>20561656
>>
>>20561516
Nah, 40 is still a good age. Batista got his main event run at a similar age. AJ didn't get big in WWE until that age. LA Knight isn't a star but he got over big even while old.
>>
>>20561646
>Is a manlet
So is Punk. So is Cody.
>Has kwabed his neck.
So is Seff. So is Paige. So is Orton
>Hasn't won like one championship in the main roster
This is a booking problem. There's no reason why he wouldn't win one now that he got so over in Mexico. If they don't give him at least a run, the booker's are retarded. Not Gable's fault.
>Had one meaningful storyline that would've led to a WM championship moment and it was politicked away from him by Sami Hogan.
Gable has made every single gimmick he has gotten work. All got him good reactions. Even Shorty G, which was supposed to bury him forever, got people cheering for him.
>The only meaningful thing he has done is create a gimmick which a comedy low midcard jobber did it so better than him that it became the second most over act in beanland.
You're a burger so of course you don't know, but Americano was already over when Gable did it. Latinos like when wrestlers try cartoonist gimmicks and Gable was an American cartoon. Sure, with Kaiser the gimmick went through the roof because the guy literally became one of us, but it would be a lie to say that Mexican people weren't already cheering for Gable before his injury.
>>

I would argue with you and refute your points Juan but I can't after you completely buried yourself like that.

No they don’t. Mr Iguana was pretty much seen as the final nail in the coffin for AAA. But when he got over in worlds collide everyone just jumped on the and wagon. He’s overstaying his welcome tho

You said it, he's old for a wwe run, but he can ride the heel wave in AAA and get a few belts, he's already mega hated there, might as well stay there with the creed brothers. Also you can have him on backup for a future feud vs the megachampion grande americano.

Marks exist in all countries, specially in the internet where you get all your info, but the reality in the arena is a different thing. Iguana was always over

>>20562190
People tune in to watch their hero win retard. It doesn't matter against who. This is why Hogan worked. Nobody ever gave a shit who he was beating. This is why he has fights against so many dimeless shitters even at Mania.

And yes stupid, the company's main purpose will always be making money. The babyface needs to sell merch. Only a mark like you would advocate for merch not being sold in favor of le nuclear heel getting more nuclear
>>
>>20561753
>LA Knight isn't a star
Because Triple Nose keeps dragging him down, and despite that he's still massively over, coming out of the same hole he's getting constantly buried into.

>A massively over babyface is way more valuable than a nuclear heat heel
Unmask Kaiser and you get both. The nuclear heat from unmasking Kaiser and the fiery babyface chasing him.
Unmask Gable and you'll still get both but the babyface has achieved his goal and something new has to be added if they want to continue the feud.
>>
>>20563101
Unmask both and you literally kill them
Everybody knows Ludwig is beneath but nobody cares about Ludwig Kaiser, everybody cares about who he's become under the mask
That's the thing that gets a masked babyface over, it could be anybody and that's literally and very smartly the message he's rolling with btw, the shit that gets his promos over
if you remove the masks, and they're indeed two midcarders from WWE, you just kill everything they've built under the mask and you kill the character, the gimmick, the message and the feud
It's dead
Never to return
The heel can get unmasked because he's the heel. The babyface wins that qu'est, now the heel can take revenge and do something hellish to keep the feud going. Literally classic stuff especially with a romance storyline between the heroic wrestler and the pretty interviewer. El Grande can also just do anything else because he has no belt yet
But unmasking face Grande? FUCK NO
>>
I want Ludwig to make an appearance on AAA as Ludwig Kaiser. But he's wearing one of those realistic synthetic face masks of himself, over his EGA mask. And he gets unmasked, to reveal that Ludwig Kaiser was an invention of El Grande Americano all along.
Gunther should be there too, to be shocked by the revelation.

EGA is going to lose the "americano" mask via OG unmasking him mid-match, but dons the "mexicano" variation and proceeds to win.
OG keeps the mask in US colors.
>>
>>20563101
The problem is that the mask gives power to Kaiser. Without the mask, you have a wrestler who could be a face but you don't have the legend anymore. This is why Rey went back to the mask when he went to WWE. The characters have power, specially in Mexico.

If you unmask Gable, you have a guy who can double down on his heel persona. I can imagine all the stuff you can make him do because Gable has that Kurt Angle fire that pushes him to go as far as he needs to go.

Besides, Gable is a master at the mic and with the mask he has to limit himself because he can't shoot speak Spanish. Without the mask, he can unleash promos in English naturally.

That's fucking retarded because:
1. OG is literally just Gable with a mask. He has nowhere to go from here, and the gimmick was never intended to last to begin with.
2. Kaiser made the character his own, to the point that he has gone from some jobber to Mexico's second coming of Jesus. Why the fuck would you take his mask.
3. Not only Kaiser, but also Dune, Bate and the entire AAA promotion depend on Kaiser keeping the mask.
4. Mexican fans would legit burn down the stadium if Kaiser loses. I'm not exaggerating.
So to summarize, you're retarded, never have an opinion on anything ever again.

You obviously don't even watch the shows. The WWE midcarders in AAA are mostly luchadors from Mexico. Guys like Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix and other Latinos like Dom Mysterio and Lola Vice. And they aren't the sole focus of the show.

There is absolutely no possible way you’d book Kaiser to lose.

The risk is that Ludwig would lose his persona that Mexico loves. The legend is what makes EGA. If he doesn't have the mask, he doesn't have the character that comes with it. He just goes back to being Kaiser.

Tangent, but I guess this means Gunther has to win the title from Cody tomorrow night, right? Or at least some kind of dumb interference from Orton or Drew or Sami or something.
