BVV: AAA treads water, TNA sinks
TNA and AAA both put out TV shows this week, and one of those promotions managed to avoid shooting themselves in the dick.
Impact was a good example of everything right and wrong with TNA: a talented roster and good wrestling, but some mind-boggling booking and a crippling phobia of creating new stars.
So we’ll get into Cedric Alexander’s defeat of Leon Slater, why it was even worse in execution than it sounds on paper, and what possible thought process might have been going through their heads. Also, why Mike Santana’s top rival as world champion is apparently the dreaded heel authority figure.
To be fair, we will also explain why Alexander vs. Slater was a certified banger of a match, but it wasn’t even the best thing on the show. That honor goes to AJ Francis vs. KC Navarro in a street fight.
As for AAA, well, the build for Noche de los Grandes peaked two weeks ago, and now we’re all just twiddling our thumbs waiting for May 30.
We’ll lay it all out on the Big Vinny V Show!
