00:00:00Eat all your vegetables, any one.
00:00:03Well, luckily for Santos, his vegetables paid off.
00:00:07They're in great shape, all three of them.
00:00:09You're right, all three members of Legado del Fantasma looking to impose
00:00:12their will on Pagano and continue to rule over Triple A and
00:00:17WWE at the same time.
00:00:19Here comes Angel, triple kicks, ricocheting off the skull of Pagano.
00:00:26This is the first time they've ever wrestled together.
00:00:30It's either Santos wrestled by himself, or the guards are tagged up.
00:00:35But this is the first time.
00:00:35Cover here by Birdo.
00:00:37And how difficult is it to develop trio's chemistry in a short period of time?
00:00:43Well, he's been mentoring them for quite a while now.
00:00:48So I think once they get in the ring, it's like second nature.
00:00:51Look at this.
00:00:53Rolling moonsault by Birdo, hooks the leg up Pagano.
00:00:56Birdo now showing some frustration.
00:01:00We heard the strategy, if you will, from Legado del Fantasma prior to this matchup.
00:01:07Step one is winning the matchup tonight.
00:01:09Step two includes taking the Triple A Tag Team Championships at Triple Mania.
00:01:14What could that mean for Triple A as a whole?
00:01:17But if we lost the championship?
00:01:19Yes.
00:01:20There would be a long line of people trying to get that belt back because it basically
00:01:24belongs in Mexico.
00:01:25And right now, Birdo getting under the skin of the crowd and disrespecting Cycle.
00:01:31All three of them, look at how that cynical laugh of Santos.
00:01:34Santos changed a lot.
00:01:35I mean, he's the type of guy that would steal your wallet and help you look for it.
00:01:39So are you.
00:01:42You just met me, Conan.
00:01:44Come on.
00:01:45I can tell.
00:01:46I don't even know you long.
00:01:48Santos now teeing off on a down Pagano.
00:01:52This is not where Pagano wants to be.
00:01:53Of course not.
00:01:54This is classic tag team strategy, whether it be standard tag team or trio.
00:01:58You cut the ring in half.
00:01:59You isolate your opponent.
00:02:00Very impressive.
00:02:01Legado.
00:02:02They came out in rare form.
00:02:05Like they want to make a statement.
00:02:07And I think they've already made it.
00:02:09Do you think Pagano has enough left in the tank to turn the tides of this matchup?
00:02:13Yeah.
00:02:14Blockbuster connects.
00:02:16Pagano desperately needs to make a tag for one of his fresher partners, Psycho Clown or
00:02:22Ejo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
00:02:25Very smart.
00:02:26Very smart.
00:02:27That's why he is El Comandante of the Legado.
00:02:30Well, listen.
00:02:31The years spent in NXT, in WWE by Santos and all of Legado.
00:02:35Well, he finally tagged.
00:02:36Learned some new tricks, but Psycho Clown has been unleashed.
00:02:41Series of forearms taking down Berto.
00:02:45Big time slam.
00:02:48Psycho looked to execute a cover until he realized that Angel was inside of the ring.
00:02:54Angel gets a turnbuckle for his troubles.
00:02:56Not where Angel wants to be stuck.
00:03:02In the tree of wall.
00:03:04What are we looking for here, Conan?
00:03:07Maybe some kicks.
00:03:09Basement kicks.
00:03:10Yep.
00:03:11Basement kick.
00:03:12Basement kick.
00:03:13Psycho Clown takes down Santos Escobar.
00:03:17Code red.
00:03:18Down goes Berto.
00:03:19And Berto just barely able to escape and keep this matchup alive.
00:03:28People into this match, I mean, they haven't been quiet all day today.
00:03:34Absolutely not.
00:03:35Come from all over the globe to celebrate Lucha Libre.
00:03:40El Ijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
00:03:42Has entered the competition exchanging shots with Escobar.
00:03:46Big clothesline by Wagner.
00:03:52Yeah, he spent a lot of years in Japan.
00:03:54So he's got that strong style.
00:03:56He has championships as a member of pro wrestling, Noah.
00:03:59100%.
00:04:00Dragon Screw takes down Berto.
00:04:02And another Dragon Screw by Wagner.
00:04:08That move was popularized by his dad, Dr. Wagner Jr.
00:04:11Dr. Wagner Jr.
00:04:13An absolute icon in the culture of Lucha Libre.
00:04:17Uh-oh.
00:04:18And I think we're going diving.
00:04:19Yeah.
00:04:21Pagano!
00:04:22On the mark this time.
00:04:28Tope Conhero!
00:04:29All right.
00:04:31Plancha with Hilo.
00:04:32And a plancha.
00:04:33Plancha with Tonillo.
00:04:35Take another look at this.
00:04:38Wagner and Psycho.
00:04:40Taking it high risk and it paid off.
00:04:43Major dividends in this instance.
00:04:46These are not small guys like they used to seeing the high flyers from Mexico.
00:04:50You know what I'm saying?
00:04:51Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:04:52These guys are really putting, uh...
00:04:54Hear the people?
00:04:56I sure do.
00:04:57They are rocking, they are rolling, they are enjoying every second.
00:05:00As WWE and Triple-A are representing the culture of Lucha Libre in spectacular fashion.
00:05:06It's the talk of the wrestling world right now.
00:05:09And this pivotal moment in the matchup could be the beginning of the end for one side of this battle.
00:05:15And here we go!
00:05:23Hockey fight!
00:05:24Hockey fight!
00:05:25I love this.
00:05:27Twelve fists flying.
00:05:29Wagner with a thunderous boot on the jaw of Escobar.
00:05:33Surprised you didn't knock him out.
00:05:35You and I both, Conan.
00:05:37Step up knee.
00:05:38Rocks Santos once again.
00:05:40Santos might be in for a little bad medicine.
00:05:47Hoisted way up.
00:05:51Driven down.
00:05:52Falcon Arrow hooks the leg for the win.
00:05:56And Angel keeps the matchup alive for Legado del Fantasma.
00:06:01Tag made in Alberto legal.
00:06:03I just wanted to say real quick, so before the show, Angel was telling me that before their grandfather,
00:06:14who was a very famous wrestler in Mexico, died.
00:06:19Hold that thought, Conan.
00:06:21I don't know if we're gonna have much time to talk after this.
00:06:23Oh, what a great.
00:06:24From incredible heights!
00:06:25Beautiful.
00:06:26That might do it for Wagner.
00:06:31Pagano and Psycho re-entering the fray.
00:06:37On the apron!
00:06:38Psycho Driver!
00:06:43Angel now breathtaking moonsault to the outside.
00:06:50Made famous by his uncle.
00:06:52The great Hector Garza.
00:06:54Pagano taking down Angel.
00:07:00This thing is breaking down in a hurry.
00:07:01Big boot from Wagner takes Escobar off of the apron.
00:07:05And what the hell is Wagner looking for here?
00:07:14Down goes Escobar.
00:07:15Off the stairs with a mortal.
00:07:20Grab it for the cover.
00:07:21Wow.
00:07:22Do it!
00:07:23Yep.
00:07:24And Angel keeps it alive.
00:07:26Santos was saved by Angel.
00:07:29Because right now we're one to one, right?
00:07:32Triple A one match.
00:07:33WWE one match.
00:07:34Yes, sir.
00:07:36Sit-out powerbomb by Psycho Clown.
00:07:42Big kick right between the eyes of the clown.
00:07:44Watch Pagano.
00:07:47Codebreaker from the middle rope.
00:07:50I gotta say, this is a great performance by everybody involved.
00:07:54My advice to everyone watching, don't blink.
00:07:57You just may miss something spectacular.
00:08:00The energy, the action has not stopped from the opening bell.
00:08:03I mean, they've been going at it from the onside and they still haven't finished.
00:08:08Nice.
00:08:09Oh, man.
00:08:10The whole pile goes down.
00:08:13Tough to tell who got the worst of that exchange.
00:08:16Everybody's laid out.
00:08:17With the exception of Santos Escobar from Legada del Fantasma.
00:08:24Look out, Santos.
00:08:28Wagner from behind.
00:08:30Down goes Escobar.
00:08:32For the win.
00:08:33Hook of the leg.
00:08:34One, two, one.
00:08:36And Wagner very nearly picked up the win on behalf of Triple-A.
00:08:41That's twice he almost pinned him.
00:08:42He's got his number.
00:08:43Give a la razza!
00:08:46And a way of homage to the one and only.
00:08:50To my great friend Eddie Guerrero.
00:08:54Don't waste time.
00:08:55Let's go.
00:08:57Wasting too much time.
00:08:58Gotta tell him a little louder, Conan.
00:08:59It is rocking in here.
00:09:01Yeah.
00:09:02It is loud.
00:09:03Obviously all the athletes feeding off of the energy of this crazy crowd today.
00:09:10Yeah, the Latino nation showed out.
00:09:12And they've definitely been loud.
00:09:14Look at this.
00:09:15From the top turnbuckle.
00:09:17Super Rana by Escobar.
00:09:18Hooks the leg and the cradle.
00:09:20Whoa.
00:09:22And Wagner survives again.
00:09:27Great power by Escobar.
00:09:28Thinking about the Phantom Driver perhaps.
00:09:33Yeah.
00:09:34Any combination.
00:09:35Shoulders are down.
00:09:36One, two, one.
00:09:39Escobar with a knee.
00:09:42Up goes Wagner.
00:09:44Down goes Wagner.
00:09:45Phantom Driver.
00:09:46Will this do it?
00:09:47Wow.
00:09:48Wow.
00:09:49None of them wanted to lose.
00:09:53to lose, but finally, Santos came out on top and it's 2-to-1.
00:09:582-to-1 in the matchup favoring the WWE contingent.
00:10:06This has got to do great things for the mentality and the momentum of Los Garza
00:10:10as we barrel toward TripleMania.
00:10:12Let's look at some of these highlights.
00:10:14A super run from the top turnbuckle by Escobar.
00:10:18Amazingly, Wagner survived and continued.
00:10:23Big knee by Santos was the prelude to the Phantom Driver.
00:10:29A maneuver that's brought Escobar so much success.
00:10:33And Los Garza hope they can continue this momentum
00:10:36with the AAA Tag Team titles on the line at TripleMania.
00:10:42Hey, man, I got to give it to them.
00:10:44They were in rare form and now the Garza's go to Monterey with a victory.
00:10:53D

00:11:49Legacy, I'll be waiting, I'll be grinding, I'll take a team.
00:11:56Los Ángeles, California.
00:12:006 de noviembre de 1994.
00:12:06Frente a un público entusiasmado, AAA hizo historia en suelo estadounidense.
00:12:13When worlds collide, thousands of fans here at the LA Sports Arena.
00:12:19And millions watching live and exclusively on pay-per-view.
00:12:23It's finally here, the wrestling style that is sweeping the world.
00:12:27Ese show fue algo increíble, porque nunca pensábamos del impacto que iba a tener.
00:12:33We have had some breath-taking action tonight, wild style.
00:12:37Much faster pace than you have ever seen before.
00:12:41That's made in America.
00:12:45He's got three let's hit him.
00:12:48The masks have been saved.
00:12:50And the hair of Eddie Guerrero and Love Machine, Archbar, will be shaved tonight.
00:12:56But it was an impact that people in the United States talk about that pago-por-evento as one of the best of all the time.
00:13:06Worlds Collide no solo fue un pago-por-evento, era un choque cultural.
00:13:11Una colaboración innovadora entre AAA and WCW.
00:13:15Lo recuerdo como si fuera el día de hoy, muy bueno, muy grande y que nos abrió las puertas a muchos luchadores en ese entonces.
00:13:24Worlds Collide fue el primer gran pago-por-evento estadounidense en presentar la lucha libre con sus propias características.
00:13:31Estrellas de alto vuelo, personajes pintorescos y una narrativa emotiva.
00:13:36El evento contó con íconos como Perro Aguayo, Conan, La Parca y un joven fenómeno llamado Rey Mysterio Jr.
00:13:47Rey Mysterio Jr. puede crear movimientos de novia.
00:13:51Él piensa literalmente, no en sus pies, pero en el aire.
00:13:54No puedo ni empezar a caer.
00:13:56Rey Mysterio Jr. es alguien que estaríamos viendo por, creo que, los próximos 20, posiblemente 30 años.
00:14:03Este, When Worlds Collide, yo estaba en la lucha estrella, en una jaula contra la leyenda del Perro Aguayo.
00:14:14¡Está arriba del top de la caja!
00:14:16¡Escúrate a los fans en la Jampagged L.A. Sports Arena!
00:14:19Me ayudó mucho en los Estados Unidos, pero ayudó mucho más a gente que vieron por primera vez a Rey Mysterio, a Psicosis, a La Parca, a Eddie Guerrero.
00:14:29Fue una noche increíble, y esta noche va a estar increíble también, porque la gente que está en cargo entienden que la lucha libre debe ser como es en México, y no la van a americanizar.
00:14:46Fue el momento de AAA a nivel mundial, una noche que cambió la percepción, y sentó las bases para la eventual explosión de la lucha libre en WWE y WCW.
00:15:02Worlds Collide no solo fue un espectáculo, fue un momento histórico.
00:15:06Una declaración que demostró que la lucha libre debe estar en el escenario mundial.
00:15:18¡Qué velada la que estamos teniendo! Gracias, Top W, por traer a AAA a nuestra casa y permitir que el rojido batido se sienta en el mundo entero.
00:15:25Es un gusto para nosotros estar presente aquí, teniendo la historia como hace 31 años. ¡Esto es Worlds Collide!
00:15:31¡Esto es Worlds Collide! ¡Esto es Lucha Libre AAA! Y ahorita que ya estamos en confianza, ganaron los regios ahorita.
00:15:37¡Nos vemos la próxima semana en Triplemania! ¡No los voy a dejar pasar! ¡No los voy a dejar en la casa!
00:15:43¡Vamos con Vero! ¡Vamos con Vero que tiene más para nosotros! ¡Vamos! ¡Vamos contigo, Vero!
00:15:46¡Hijo del vikingo! El día de hoy, con un compromiso muy importante, vas a enfrentar a Chad Gable,
00:15:53pero además vas a poner en riesgo el megacampeonato de la AAA. ¿Cómo te sientes?
00:15:58Nervous. Chad Gable no es cualquier rival. Es un maestro del estilo americano.
00:16:03Eso no significa que tenga miedo. Esto significa que importa.
00:16:08Vero, I'm going to fly. Hoy estoy listo para defender mi megacampeonato en frente de toda mi raza.
00:16:19You heard him. He's more than ready to defend that championship, that megachampionship of AAA frente a Chad Gable.
00:16:26Chad Gable, he thinks he's a great rival. He thinks he's the master of American style.
00:16:30Muy buena suerte. Good luck.
00:16:31Muchas gracias.
00:16:32Well, the megachampionship on the line in our main event, but coming up next, it is the NXT North American Championship up for grabs
00:16:40as Ethan Page defends in a fatal four-way match against Laredo Kidd, Ray Phoenix, and Javon Evans.
00:16:49And Conan, we talk about the importance of this event to the Latin community.
00:16:53That includes Puerto Ricans like the great Savio Vega, the leader of Los Boricuas many years back.
00:17:00One of the greatest to ever come from Puerto Rico.
00:17:03He's in the house alongside the former World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest.
00:17:08Showing their respect to the culture and the icons that came before them, including this man, Conan.
00:17:1740 years in the game for Blue Demon Jr.
00:17:22Probably the second most symbolic match in the history of Mexico wrestling, the first being Enxanco.
00:17:30He's done it all at 40 years, but I also want to show love to Damian Priest.
00:17:34And Javon Vega are so very proud of their culture and represent it well.
00:17:41Okay, can I just say something real quick?
00:17:43Yes, sir.
00:17:43There is no way this match is not going to be fired.
00:17:47Agreed.
00:17:54Los Angeles, California, and all around the world, it is time to get bouncy!
00:18:04Conan, I know you've seen Javon Evans.
00:18:06How impressed have you been with this 21-year-old young man?
00:18:11Super impressed.
00:18:12I think WWE has already identified he's going to be a star of the future, and I concur.
00:18:21This is going to be Javon Evans' first opportunity to challenge for the NXT North American Championship.
00:18:27This fight coming extremely close on several occasions to becoming the NXT Champion.
00:18:32Javon Evans never really considered himself a luchador, but I don't know if anyone on this card tonight is more comfortable in the sky.
00:18:41You're correct.
00:18:44Although I think this man might take exception.
00:18:47Well, here's the thing.
00:18:48He's usually the best high flyer in the ring.
00:18:51Now he's got two, Laredo and Phoenix.
00:18:55Laredo Kid, the reigning AAA World Cruiserweight Champion, has a chance to become double champion.
00:19:01Here at World's Collide, Laredo Kid has competed for TNA, for AAA, companies all around the globe.
00:19:10This is one of our first chances to see Laredo Kid on this grand stage.
00:19:15As a matter of fact, Laredo Kid oftentimes teamed with Octagon Jr., who was in our first trios match, as the Aztec Warriors.
00:19:26What can you tell me about Laredo Kid, Conan?
00:19:29Very innovative.
00:19:30He's a guy that I think that people are going to get behind, even though it's the first time they're probably seeing him.
00:19:36And, you know, Javon is usually the best high flyer in the ring, but as I said before, now he's got Phoenix and Laredo to contend with, so he better bring his A++ game.
00:19:47He could be in for a mid-air dogfight.
00:19:49He's taken WWE by storm, but you told me earlier that had it not been for Ray Phoenix, we may not be here with WWE and AAA together.
00:20:18Let me tell you something, you have not seen the best of Ray Phoenix, he's still getting his feet wet, but he's an innovator, he's a risk taker, and he's just, let me just, another thing.
00:20:34Ray Mysterio set the bar for high flyers, then it was Phoenix, and then B'Kingville.
00:20:41Well, Phoenix still has work to do, a potential North American Championship in his future.
00:20:49This man was the first ever Triple Crown Champion in AAA.
00:20:53As a matter of fact, Phoenix held the Mega Championship, which B'Kingville will defend against Chad Gable tonight.
00:21:00Conan, is it safe to say you're expecting Phoenix to make more history today?
00:21:03100%, to tell you the truth, it could be any of these guys, a legitimate threat for Ethan Page's title.
00:21:12Not a betting man, I see.
00:21:17I thought I was going to sit on the fence, it seems like you might have mastered that art.
00:21:21Like I said, they all have a legitimate chance.
00:21:23Why, do you have a favorite?
00:21:24I have no favorites, I have to be fair and advised.
00:21:28David, why are you coming at me like that?
00:21:30Making sure you're paying attention.
00:21:32Look at this.
00:21:33Look at this.
00:21:33Look at this.
00:21:37Look at this.
00:21:51I do happen to know, Conan, that Ethan Page is not a young man that you're a fan of.
00:22:03Well, no, he's got a big mouth and he couldn't be a starved if he was thrown by a ninja.
00:22:08He's got idiot's luck.
00:22:11Either way, the idiot's luck, as you put it, has led Ethan Page to capturing the North American Championship in NXT,
00:22:18knocking off Ricky Saints.
00:22:21But now, Page has the unenviable task of defending against three of the highest flyers in the game.
00:22:29Conan, you had great success in Lucha Libre, but you were never a high flyer.
00:22:33Yeah.
00:22:33What does Ethan Page have to do to escape with his gold tonight?
00:22:37Well, what I would say about Ethan Page is he's got a big mouth and a big eagle, but he backs it up.
00:22:42And he's always one step ahead.
00:22:44And if you're a high flyer, he's going to try to ground you.
00:22:47I mean, just a very cerebral in the ring.
00:22:50I will give him that.
00:22:51The next one is a battle fight of four corners and it's for the North American Championship of NXT.
00:23:07The next one is a battle fight of four corners and it's for the North American Championship of NXT.
00:23:11I will give you the winners, first of Greensboro, North Carolina, weighing 180 libras.
00:23:20Javon Evans.
00:23:29Next.
00:23:30De nuevo, Laredo, Tamaulipas, México, pesando 198 libras, Laredo Kiel.
00:23:43Y de, el Capete, México, pesando 198 libras, Rey Friñez.
00:24:00Y ahora, Rey Hamilton, Ontario,
00:24:13Laredo, Canada, pesando 225 libras, el es el campeón norteamericano de NXT,
00:24:26All Eagle, Ethan Page.
00:24:32This is gonna suck for you guys.
00:24:36This is a field of challengers truly encompassing the North American Championship.
00:24:43Obviously, Ethan Page representing Canada, Rey Fenix and Laredo Kidd representing Mexico and Javon Evans from the United States.
00:24:56It's gonna be a massive day for the Lucha Brothers.
00:24:58Rey Fenix has this opportunity and later tonight his brother Penta competes in the Men's Money in the Bank ladder match.
00:25:03Yeah, 100%. Let me tell you a story. When Rey Fenix was a little kid, Pentagon brought him to see Rey Mysterio at an autograph signing in Mexico City and it was so packed that they broke windows and they had to shut it down and he never got the autograph and he started to cry.
00:25:21And I was able to introduce Phoenix to Rey Mysterio like around 15 years later.
00:25:26Are you taking credit for Rey Fenix in this business, Conan?
00:25:30Well, I did discover him.
00:25:31Well, you made a hell of a discovery as Ethan Page already eliminated from this matchup. Not a situation he wants to be in. First fall will be declared the winner.
00:25:44Oh, that was beautiful.
00:25:45Absolutely, it was.
00:25:47Phoenix and Laredo Kidd exchanging high-level Lucha skills.
00:25:56Wow.
00:25:58I think Ethan Page might have just had some teeth slapped all the way to San Francisco after that right hand by Laredo Kidd.
00:26:05Well, Ethan tried to do a phantasma and the Garza didn't move out of the way, remember?
00:26:09Yes, sir.
00:26:10When Tagano crashed and burned.
00:26:12Obviously even in the locker room, everybody doing their homework.
00:26:14This is gonna be good.
00:26:16Because I saw them as a tag team on SmackDown. They look great.
00:26:20A tag team that had their victory spoiled by none other than Ethan Page.
00:26:24No doubt Phoenix and Javon have not forgotten.
00:26:28But feel the energy in here, Conan!
00:26:30Yeah, people know it's just got real. These are two of the best.
00:26:34Oh, Evans, schoolboy, shoulders down!
00:26:43Smart decision by Javon.
00:26:45Yeah, but too early, too early, too early, too early.
00:26:48We have a little game of Keynes Mas Macho.
00:26:50Yes.
00:26:51Oh!
00:26:52Oh!
00:26:53Wow!
00:26:54Yeah, Pentagon and Phoenix will slap the taste out your mouth.
00:27:03Evans now following up with a series of heavy right forearms.
00:27:06Javon Evans showing just how bouncy he can get.
00:27:14Great counter by Phoenix.
00:27:16Oh!
00:27:17Oh!
00:27:18Otro Piratazo walks the ropes.
00:27:28That is unbelievable!
00:27:30That's why I told you that Phoenix is an innovator, just like Javon is.
00:27:36You can hear the respect from the crowd here in the Kia Forum.
00:27:39As Ray Phoenix and Javon Evans go to work, neither man able to sustain an upper hand.
00:27:45People know when they're watching something special, Corey, and this is special.
00:27:49Oh!
00:27:50Oh, Ethan, there's where the cerebral comes in, right?
00:27:52You're absolutely right.
00:27:53Ethan Page may not be a flashy competitor, but he is extremely dangerous.
00:27:57Never afraid to take a shortcut.
00:27:59Always has strategy.
00:28:01Laredo from behind, looking to take advantage, down goes Ethan Page.
00:28:08Big boot by Phoenix, from the second turnbuckle, down goes Laredo.
00:28:13Oh!
00:28:14Wow!
00:28:15Ethan Page!
00:28:16Wow!
00:28:17He did an uraqa rana.
00:28:18Ethan, he's not known for that.
00:28:20You've got to be impressed by that, aren't you, Konash?
00:28:22100%.
00:28:23Page having a little fun, but Javon Evans taking advantage.
00:28:31Big dropkick right on the money page, goes sent to the outside one more time.
00:28:36Great height on the dropkicks, right?
00:28:39Look at the eyes of Javon Evans.
00:28:42Javon had designs on taking flight, but Ray Phoenix put a stop to that.
00:28:49Big time kick on the ear of Javon.
00:28:54Spider kick.
00:28:55The spider kick connects.
00:28:57He's letting you know he's going to fly.
00:29:00The animal sign, which basically means don't give up.
00:29:06Phoenix showing no signs of giving up.
00:29:08No signs of slowing down.
00:29:10The forum is ablaze.
00:29:12He took too long, and Laredo was there.
00:29:17Ethan Page wants to get back in the fray.
00:29:19He doesn't want to lose his championship without being involved in the decision.
00:29:22From the top, Laredo.
00:29:24Beautiful.
00:29:25Beautiful.
00:29:26Taking out Evans and Page simultaneously.
00:29:31I hope they repeat that.
00:29:33That was incredible.
00:29:35I have a feeling all four of these guys have a lot more gas left in the tank, Conan.
00:29:41Phoenix takes flight.
00:29:43Tony over the top.
00:29:45Incredible.
00:29:46And these guys are giving it their all.
00:29:48The people listen to them.
00:29:49The Latino nation has showed up today, and they are happy with every single match that they've seen.
00:29:56The Latino nation and beyond, Phoenix gaining fans all over the globe as a member of WWE returning to his roots.
00:30:03DDT on the top of Page's head for the North American Championship.
00:30:07And Ethan Page kicks out just in time.
00:30:12Take another look at the height.
00:30:14Beautiful.
00:30:15The mind-blowing athleticism that has become a trademark of Laredo Kidd, and Phoenix doing it like none other.
00:30:22The Tornillo taking out all three competitors.
00:30:26But this match rolls on, and now Ethan Page in a lot of trouble.
00:30:29Phoenix could be thinking about the Mexican muscle buster.
00:30:32Page in trouble, but Javon Evans from behind with a kick right to the kidney.
00:30:36We want tables!
00:30:39We want tables!
00:30:41Why would you want tables in a match like this?
00:30:45Listen, everybody's entitled to what they want.
00:30:47I think this athleticism has already been off the charts.
00:30:50Javon Evans pointing our way, Conan.
00:30:53You better be careful.
00:30:54This could get crazier.
00:30:56Phoenix with a kick right between the eyes of Evans.
00:30:59Palm strike rocks Ethan Page.
00:31:01We've seen two or three times during this match when you play to the crowd,
00:31:05you pay for it.
00:31:06You're absolutely right.
00:31:08You've got to be more focused.
00:31:10Veteran advice from one of the greats, but look at the power of Ethan Page.
00:31:13Wow.
00:31:14Body slam!
00:31:15On top of Javon.
00:31:16On top of Javon, and now he's going to fly.
00:31:18Page from the top.
00:31:20Big splash onto Evans to retain the North American title.
00:31:24I don't think Ethan does this many flying moves in one year.
00:31:27He's done it already in one match.
00:31:29Tripping Evans up, driving him down.
00:31:31Another attempt for the North American title.
00:31:33And Phoenix breaks up the attempt.
00:31:36Do you think that Ethan's trying to show them, hey, I complied too?
00:31:41Listen, I think Ethan Page is doing anything and everything he can and has to do to leave
00:31:46L.A. with his coveted North American title.
00:31:49Phoenix looking for the spider kick once again.
00:31:53And Laredo gets the best of that exchange.
00:31:56Here comes Laredo Kid.
00:32:00Epic forearm in the turnbuckle.
00:32:03Michinoku driver.
00:32:05Laredo could be looking.
00:32:08Twisting moonsault.
00:32:11Ethan Page from behind.
00:32:14Laredo out of the way.
00:32:17Big forearm.
00:32:23And Ethan Page now finds himself in trouble.
00:32:26Phoenix from behind.
00:32:28Changing waist lock with Laredo.
00:32:30Wow!
00:32:32Unbelievable!
00:32:33Into the cover for the North American title.
00:32:36And Evans keeps his opportunity alive as well as Ethan Page's reign for the moment.
00:32:42Let's take another look at this, Conan.
00:32:44I honestly don't even know what you call this.
00:32:48A DDT version of a Destroyer.
00:32:50So much like a spinning DDT, yeah.
00:32:51Whatever you call it, it was impressive, but ultimately not enough to keep Phoenix down.
00:32:56You hear the people.
00:32:59I sure do.
00:33:00What are they chanting?
00:33:01This is awesome.
00:33:02You will get no argument from us.
00:33:04Evans bouncing off the middle rope.
00:33:09Tilted World Backbreaker takes down Javon.
00:33:13The Kebradora delivered by Laredo Kebradora.
00:33:20Very Mexican move.
00:33:22Evans thwarting whatever Laredo had planned there.
00:33:28Now Laredo Kebradora stuck in the tree of woe.
00:33:32What is Evans going to do next?
00:33:35Look at that bouncing off the bottom into the German suplex.
00:33:40Lightning speed from the young OG.
00:33:44Evans looking to make a little history.
00:33:49Clear the deck.
00:33:50Here comes Evans!
00:33:51Whoa!
00:33:52Whoa!
00:33:53Are you guys okay?
00:33:54Are you kidding me?
00:33:55Bro, they just landed right next to us.
00:33:56Everybody all right over there, gentlemen?
00:33:58I wish they would have taken out all three of the Spanish announcers.
00:33:59I believe everybody seems to be unscathed aside from Ethan Page, but Javon still has work
00:34:05to do.
00:34:06What?
00:34:07No way.
00:34:08You don't.
00:34:09Uh oh.
00:34:10You don't think so.
00:34:11Conan, this is nuts.
00:34:12This is almost.
00:34:13Remember the bandaminator?
00:34:14The bandaminator?
00:34:15Oh, man.
00:34:16Oh, man.
00:34:17Oh, man.
00:34:18Oh, man.
00:34:19Oh, man.
00:34:20Oh, man.
00:34:21Oh, man.
00:34:22Oh, man.
00:34:23Oh, man.
00:34:24Oh, man.
00:34:25Oh, man.
00:34:26Oh, man.
00:34:27Oh, man.
00:34:28Yeah.
00:34:29Yeah.
00:34:30This looks like what it might be.
00:34:31Oh, my God.
00:34:33Evans didn't get all of it, but a twisting kick connected on the face of Laredo.
00:34:38But here comes Ray Phoenix looking to capitalize.
00:34:41Red Dot on the money.
00:34:43Javon Evans closing in on the North American Championship.
00:34:48Spring bar cutter.
00:34:50The height and the...
00:34:51Cover.
00:34:52One, two, one.
00:34:54And Ethan Page to the rescue.
00:34:56The height and the threaticism is crazy ridiculous with Javon.
00:35:01Let's take another look at your right.
00:35:03Crazy, ridiculous, and insanely precise.
00:35:07Flying blind.
00:35:08Cutter connects.
00:35:09But Ethan Page preserves his championship reign just a little longer.
00:35:13Hell no!
00:35:14Oh, wait.
00:35:15One, two, three, four.
00:35:17And Evans now furious teeing off on the North American Champion.
00:35:22And Page just snapped the top rope across the throat of Javon Evans.
00:35:27Beautiful veteran move.
00:35:29Beautiful veteran move.
00:35:31Resourceful.
00:35:32And now, Page looking to pick the bones of a fallen Phoenix.
00:35:38I'm gonna beat you.
00:35:39I'm gonna beat you.
00:35:40I'm gonna beat you from all your people.
00:35:42You understand, Phoenix?
00:35:44And he's talking trash to Phoenix.
00:35:47Phoenix drop kicks him.
00:35:48That might have been a mistake.
00:35:49The Amigo.
00:35:50Goodbye Amigo kick.
00:35:51Page spills to the floor, but here comes Laredo Kid.
00:35:58Phoenix out of the way.
00:35:59Kick to the back of Laredo's neck.
00:36:01No one does it quite like Ray Phoenix.
00:36:08Double stomp.
00:36:09Yeah!
00:36:10Well, this is non-stop.
00:36:13How could you not like this match?
00:36:15My mind is blown.
00:36:17Our jaws have been off and on the table since the opening bell.
00:36:20And Phoenix continues to deliver.
00:36:23Evans is rocked.
00:36:24Phoenix may be looking for the Phoenix driver.
00:36:29North American title on the line.
00:36:31Down goes Evans.
00:36:33Phoenix.
00:36:34One, two, three.
00:36:36I thought it was gonna be the Phoenix driver.
00:36:38It was more like a side slam type of move, right?
00:36:40It wasn't.
00:36:42Unbelievable that Javon Evans able to survive.
00:36:49After being hoisted up, knee, then driven down.
00:36:54My brain goes to Mitsuharu Masao, the emerald erosion.
00:36:59Kick.
00:37:01This is wild.
00:37:04This action hard to keep up with no matter where on earth you are.
00:37:08All ego looking to muscle up Phoenix.
00:37:13But watch, Evans!
00:37:15Didn't you just tell me that we were trending number one or something?
00:37:20We sure are.
00:37:21Worlds Collide has been trending number one all over X in social media.
00:37:26And with damn good reason, the world needs to be talking about this.
00:37:31What we are all witnessing together.
00:37:33Conan, this is magic.
00:37:34It's been action packed since the beginning.
00:37:37Latino nation again starting at This Is Awesome channel.
00:37:40We've got celebrities, legends here.
00:37:42Everybody wants to be a part of this.
00:37:44Everyone wants to show up, show out, but these four men have one goal in mind.
00:37:49That being the NXT North American Championship.
00:37:53Javon Evans trying to put Laredo Kidd in a precarious position.
00:37:58Open and strike by Evans.
00:38:04I'm surprised that Ethan and Javon survived that crash and burn we saw over here
00:38:09in the Spanish announce table.
00:38:11You're not the only one, Conan.
00:38:15Everybody has been impressed.
00:38:18Uh-oh, nasty landing.
00:38:20Evans made contact with the stairs.
00:38:22Ethan Page now looking for the Ego's Edge.
00:38:24Has Phoenix up high.
00:38:26But Phoenix frees himself.
00:38:28Kick on the jaw, Page.
00:38:30Conan, Conan.
00:38:32Spanish fly on top.
00:38:34Oh.
00:38:35Page out of the way just in time.
00:38:37Phoenix with a Spanish fly.
00:38:39Muscling up Phoenix.
00:38:41Ego's Edge.
00:38:43To retain.
00:38:45Cover.
00:38:48Evans from the heavens.
00:38:52Oh, my God.
00:38:57Look at everybody's in pain.
00:39:00Ethan is back.
00:39:01Phoenix isn't even moving.
00:39:03This guy's on his knees.
00:39:05Javon, Laredo rolled out of the ring.
00:39:08Laredo kid still in this battle.
00:39:23Wants to make the most of the opportunity.
00:39:25Jumping punch from Evans.
00:39:26On the mark.
00:39:27Twisted grin attempt by Ethan Page.
00:39:32Stopped by Evans now.
00:39:33Middle turnbuckle to the top.
00:39:35Springboard cutter.
00:39:37Ethan Page.
00:39:39All Ego dumps Javon to the outside.
00:39:41Down goes Phoenix.
00:39:42Ethan Page.
00:39:43Twisted grin.
00:39:44He's gonna steal it again.
00:39:46Wow.
00:39:47Oh, there's a reason why he's a champion.
00:39:49Oh, there's a battle for the next fighting game.
00:40:02Oh, he said before, you would not
00:40:06be fair to help excel novoyed athletes but you understand where he's at.
00:40:10Well, you got to respect his game, you know, he had three great challenges in front of him, and he came out still the champion.
00:40:21Here we see some of the closing moments. Phoenix delivers the Spanish fly. Ethan Page hoisting Rey up. Ego's edge.
00:40:31But from out of absolutely nowhere, Javon Evans splashes Page, keeps the match alive. Here we go, flying blind again. Getting bouncy, springboard cutter, but Page simply capitalizing on the cards he was dealt. Twisted grin on Laredo Kidd, and still.
00:40:56Oh, so what's the count now? I believe it's still weighing in the favor of WWE. This next one is of the utmost importance. The main event is on its way shortly, but this moment belongs to Ethan Page.
00:41:13For more than 40 years, the universe of the WWE has been witness to the show of WrestleMania, but another legacy has lived for more than three decades in the great country of Mexico.
00:41:36If Western Mania is the Super Bowl of Western, AAA is the World Cup of the Lucha Libre Mexicans.
00:41:47Since 1993, Triple Mania has been the definitive event of AAA.
00:41:53It's the show most big of the year. Los luchadores pierden caballeras, pierden máscaras, a donde las sorpresas más grandes las hacemos ahí.
00:42:09Pasión, orgullo y un espíritu de lucha infinito. Un estándar y una tradición que se remonta a un comienzo trascendente.
00:42:24La Plaza de Toros México, con un pieno impresionante en donde se quedó gente fuera.
00:42:34Y todo esto terminando y culminando, rompiendo el récord de asistencia de la Lucha Libre Mexicana, con más de 48 mil personas en Triple Mania 1.
00:42:42Una marca de asistencia para la Lucha Libre Mexicana que se mantiene hasta el día de hoy.
00:42:49Y cada año ha sido continuado y seguirá por todo lo que resta.
00:42:56Un legado que sigue creciendo y está listo para sumar el siguiente capítulo.
00:43:03Este agosto.
00:43:06Las dos triple manías más espectaculares que se hayan producido en territorio nacional y en las cuales veremos grandes rivalidades como nunca antes las habíamos visto.
00:43:15Y este 16 de agosto no va a ser la excepción. Va a ser una de las mejores triple manías en toda la historia de Triple A.
00:43:24El Ijo del Viquingo.
00:43:48The Kingo.
00:44:06You did it.
00:44:07You did it.
00:44:08You found the one way to make me even more excited about this match than I already was.
00:44:13In Mexico City, you won the AAA Mega Championship and you raised the stakes of our match that much more.
00:44:21Unfortunately for you, this is going to be a problem.
00:44:25Chad Gable has been on a hero's journey.
00:44:28My own vision quest to unlock the dark arts of Lucha Libre, and I've done it.
00:44:34And I've put in more hard work and more diligence and sacrifice to do this than you or anyone knows of.
00:44:42And someone's going to pay for it.
00:44:45You, my friend, are the one who's going to pay for it.
00:44:48You're going to become the shortest-reigning Mega Champion of all time.
00:44:52Congratulations!
00:44:54When worlds collide in Los Angeles, I am going to win the AAA Mega Championship.
00:45:00With AAA under my thumb, all the people of Mexico will say,
00:45:05Viva la Mexico!
00:45:08Arriba!
00:45:09Chad Gable, eres un hombre pequeño jugando a ser grande.
00:45:15Y lo peor de todo es que andas diciendo que representas la Lucha Libre mexicana?
00:45:22Tú calculas llaves.
00:45:25Yo hago magia en el aire.
00:45:27Dijiste que mi reinado sería el más corto en la historia de AAA.
00:45:31Tú no sabes que yo soy AAA.
00:45:35La última vez que tuve el Mega Campeonato de Lucha Libre AAA fue por 833 días.
00:45:42La lucha no es un show para mí.
00:45:44Para nosotros es sangre, familia y honor.
00:45:49Algo que tú no tienes.
00:45:50En L.A.
00:45:52La historia será construida.
00:45:54Con lo mejor que tuvieron en AAA versus lo mejor que tuvieron en WWE.
00:45:59Y Bakingo, nuestros mundos están a colider.
00:46:03Chad Gable, vas a aprender que la Lucha Libre mexicana no se imita, se respeta.
00:46:09Vas a aprender a respetarnos.
00:46:11Ahora con el mundo entero observándonos, se darán cuenta que tan buenos somos.
00:46:17Esto es Lucha Libre.
00:46:41Klan, super stars clash.
00:46:43Now.
00:46:46And there we see Fluffy Gabriel Iglesias.
00:46:50Conan, you can attest, he's been here since they opened the doors.
00:46:53Fluffy hasn't left his seat all night.
00:46:55Yeah, he's been crumpled.
00:46:56He's been turned up the whole night.
00:46:58He's a real fan of wrestling.
00:47:01And a very funny guy, by the way.
00:47:03Hilarious.
00:47:11I found a Frenchman hero.
00:47:22Look at that, look at that.
00:47:24He's got a team of protectors.
00:47:26He's got a team of protectors.
00:47:29He's got a team of protectors.
00:47:33He's got a team of protectors.
00:47:38to this point in his career conan chad gable has been unable to capture a major single championship
00:47:45do you think gable has what it takes tonight well let me tell you something about yuck mountain
00:47:52you know i think he's over confident i don't they never faced bkingo and i don't think he's
00:47:57ever faced anybody like bkingo i respect him i think he's one of the most underrated wrestlers
00:48:02in wwe and we're now starting to find out how great he is but the king was mad at everything
00:48:09he said about mexico and he's coming out with a controlled range
00:48:32so
00:48:52conan we've been talking all night about how each generation of lucha libre has its own face
00:48:59from ray mysterio to ray phoenix to now el hijo del vikingo why is vikingo the face of modern lucha
00:49:07libre oh he's incredible i mean like i said before he's an innovator he's creative um the people
00:49:14love him in mexico he's a great representative of the company um i can't say enough good things about him
00:49:22and let me tell you real quick even though gable's an expert at olympic wrestling his dad was a great
00:49:36olympic wrestler and he trained vikingo so he'll be ready but the kingo has a ground game as well
00:49:42yeah that's the next question right out of my mouth and vikingo if you want to wrestle him he'll fight
00:49:47if you want to fight him he'll wrestle you we're about to see a very interesting clash of styles
00:49:54between two of the best in the game it's wwe versus triple a it's the united states versus mexico
00:50:02for the mega championship yeah this really is when world's collided
00:50:14this fight is for the mega championship of triple a
00:50:26let's presento primero el retador de minneapolis minnesota
00:50:36pesando 202 libras chad
00:50:41y su oponente de heroica puebla de saragoza mexico
00:51:02conan i know you know vikingo very well what is going through the champion's mind right now like i
00:51:31said before controlled rage he does not he you know chad has not done a good job of ingratiating
00:51:37himself to the fans and all that ish that he talked about mexico he's gonna pay for it tonight
00:51:43and the thing about vikingo is when you look at like uh like a michael jordan like a lebron james
00:51:49you know they're special right when you look at wrestling at a chad gable or vikingo or ray
00:51:55mysterio for start out or eddie guerrero they're special they're different sean michaels triple h they
00:52:01were different they were different they were special chad gable looks to show the world just
00:52:06how special he is tonight if he can do the unthinkable nice takedown into the arm bar by the champion
00:52:12vikingo having a little fun it is hostile in here for chad gable yeah but he's got some fans some
00:52:17people actually chip chanting for him
00:52:22sounds like the john cena chance it sort of does
00:52:25and cena will be competing in tag team action later tonight at money in the bank and chad gable
00:52:29caught up with me earlier in the day and said graves i'm going to go out wrestle with a vengeance
00:52:33i'm going to win the mega championship and then i'm going to go right down the road and support el
00:52:37grande americano money in the bank ladder match
00:52:44gable now showing his mat acumen at the expense of vikingo and turnabouts fair play
00:52:52not only does he have an arm bar on him he's sitting on top of him
00:52:55now he's kind of letting him out or he probably wouldn't have been able to get out listen chad
00:53:00gable is a dangerous individual he can injure places you didn't know you had places
00:53:06look at this now vikingo look at it tie up gable
00:53:11how beautiful is that likes to call that the rune why did not expect you to know that i did my homework
00:53:23conan i got a lot of respect for you a very bright guy but you got that right shoulders down
00:53:29i may not be bright that's why i gotta be handsome look at this nice takedown both superstars with the
00:53:34same idea fireman's carry takedown by gable who once again takes command with a simple arm bar on the
00:53:40handsome thing i wouldn't toot my own horn on that but anyways um again he's working that arm maybe
00:53:47he's gonna keep working the arm so he can put him in a finish potential shoulders down beautiful
00:53:52transition into a backslide by vikingo chad gable looking to answer trying to pick the ankle of the
00:53:59mega champion okay who you got in this match it's too hard to pick and i'm the guy riding the fence
00:54:07well listen listen i have known chad gable for many years i consider chad gable a friend i am a fan
00:54:12of chad gabe with that said vikingo has blown my mind every time i've seen him it's truly too difficult
00:54:17for me to pick all right well i'll pick vikingo all right time will tell you guys are up three to one
00:54:24you need to bring it back yep test of strength between the champion and challenger
00:54:38are you surprised by the slower pace we're seeing off of the opening bell by these two
00:54:42well that's a smart thing for chad to do right he's wearing him down
00:54:45methodical style being utilized by gable to this juncture
00:54:53vikingo able to bridge up out of the situation ripped over the top of gable now vikingo shoulders down
00:55:01and again it's too early for that corey great bridge by chad
00:55:06how about this core strength supporting his weight yeah unbelievable
00:55:16a beautiful transition a modification body scissors shoulders are down
00:55:23prawn hold submission or a pinfall attempt by chad gable and vikingo cuts gable off
00:55:29with a shot to the midsection
00:55:30sort of a modified scissors is it i'm not sure if this is more of an arm bar
00:55:41yeah more of an arm bar an arm bar executed by vikingo great counter into the ankle lock
00:55:48this is gable's wheelhouse vikingo could be in trouble understanding and escaping quickly
00:55:54that's real wrestling right there i love that in its purest form yeah you don't see that a lot anymore
00:56:07well if chad gable becomes mega champion i guarantee you're going to see a lot more of
00:56:11it down on your side of the border like i said you'll have a long line of people
00:56:17what would that winning that championship what would that mean to triple a and in nxt we recently
00:56:22just saw trick williams capture tna's world heavyweight championship what would that do
00:56:26for triple a's morale to have a wwe superstar like gable holding your most well not just that the blows
00:56:31out of the water four to one right i think it would hurt a lot of people's pride because everybody
00:56:37came out here tonight like i said before cover here everybody came out to show and prove everybody
00:56:43came out to make a name for themselves even bigger for the guys that have a name already
00:56:49to impress the wwe staff so maybe they're permanent members of the roster wow look at this power by
00:56:56the champion catching gable out of midair
00:57:00looking for a swing uranagi gable able to counter this is unbelievable
00:57:08this is master level technique from both champion and challenger and gable hit the ring post hard
00:57:14followed up with a kick by the kingo now perched on the top turnbuckle drop kick by the champion
00:57:20down goes gable that's his first fly high flying move you can see gable came up clutching his right
00:57:28shoulder after making impact with the steel ring post oh gable might be hurt conan you can hear him shout
00:57:39out in agony and he's still holding his arm the kingo gets a boot up just in time what on earth
00:57:49is vikingo attempting here
00:57:56how important is the mega championship to vikingo who held it for an astonishing 833 days before having
00:58:02to relinquish it due to injury never lost the title before right well how important is it to have the
00:58:07world championship here in wwe enough said same thing right now vikingo building up steam
00:58:16meteora takes out gable to the floor look how cool how calm under pressure the champion is conan
00:58:23always like that you said controlled chaos controlled rage
00:58:27the kingo now
00:58:36perhaps more comfortable on the ropes than anyone on the roster
00:58:42good beautiful that was beautiful vikingo there you go that's how you do it represent mexico
00:58:50that was insane
00:58:59like i said he's special
00:59:05they can't go to retain the mega championship
00:59:09when conan even you have to give credit to gable for surviving
00:59:12this 100 he's a tough customer a 6 30 splash to the outside across the back of the challenger
00:59:20it's a miracle gable's still walking right now yes
00:59:28at what point in the matchup could vikingo become frustrated conan he won't he won't
00:59:34running shooting star but i think gable got the knees up
00:59:37drop did he yes he did i think gable just averted disaster
00:59:47and now making a vikingo sized imprint in the diamond plate steel stairs
00:59:55how important is this time for chad gable to recover conan to get back into the looks like he
00:59:59already did recover just don't mess with the crowd too much like i said in other matches
01:00:04because you're giving vikingo a chance to recuperate yeah we've seen that several times not pay off
01:00:12but he's in total control now oh he's lifting up the mat
01:00:21now he's getting something from under the ring a table
01:00:25we've got tables people love that
01:00:33is this a sign of frustration from chad gable i mean gable doesn't want to get himself disqualified
01:00:37frustration i think he wants to hurt vikingo
01:00:41because it's about just inflicting more punishment exactly so he can pin him wear him down it's a war of
01:00:47attrition gable's got to be cognizant not to get himself disqualified we've seen the officials be
01:00:52relatively lenient throughout the night understanding the rules do vary between wwe and triple a oh my
01:00:58god gable's looking for a german suplex through the table wait a minute he turned it around on him
01:01:05oh look at this by the champion
01:01:10the kingo puts the brakes on just in time back kick right in the face
01:01:13wow big time lariat by the challenger and gable again buys himself a few valuable seconds turned him inside out
01:01:27chad gable scrambling following the champion hooks the far leg for the championship
01:01:33vikingo's still alive
01:01:37and again conan you you've disagreed all night with any superstar messing with the live crowd here
01:01:44gable's doing it yet again do you think chad gable's playing with fire
01:01:48100 because you've already seen it in other matches how it's come back to bite him in the ass you know
01:01:53what i'm saying just focus you got to be focused vikingo and uh chad gable play to the crowd after you win
01:02:12gable looking for a monkey flip out of the corner
01:02:15vikingo launched mid-ring here comes the challenger hooks the leg once again for him across the face
01:02:21he's in total control and that shows how fast things can change in a match
01:02:26how hard is it for vikingo to adapt to a slower methodical pace we know he has the mat skills but is
01:02:30this somewhere that he's comfortable necessarily not really he likes to fly
01:02:35he likes to wear you down with like that 6 30 that he did over there and uh
01:02:41notice chad gable having a little trouble with his right arm potentially still from the impact on
01:02:45the ring post i wonder if that'll play into the finish we'll see oh great kick great escape by the
01:02:51champion
01:02:52and gable went to the throat again our official showing a little leniency beautiful german suplex
01:03:01with a bridge for the mega championship and gable can't finish the job just yet
01:03:11like i said before not only is he wearing him down he's listening to his breathing pattern to see how
01:03:16hard vikingo is he's trying to hurt him and um he's doing a really good job of being methodical
01:03:23but one wrong move he misses something and vikingo's gonna be and i'm pretty sure that's what gable's
01:03:29strategy is don't leave himself open to any sort of mistake because vikingo will make the challenger
01:03:35pay but what a boot from gable are you getting nervous yet conan a little cover here
01:03:41you can hear that the crowd here in the kia forum hushing up just a little bit
01:03:51almost a sound of concern a lack of energy as vikingo potentially feels his championship slipping away
01:04:02wow we could hear that from right here
01:04:05one more those chops wear you down you know that used to wrestle yes sir
01:04:15oh wow
01:04:19vikingo that sign that he did means another one
01:04:25well gable caught the champion on bar on bar gables got to release by the official's count of five but as
01:04:31you know conan it only takes a few seconds to snap a tendon to pop a ligament yeah rip a ligament exactly
01:04:38gable now from the top turnbuckle code breaker out of the air a desperation counter by the champion both men are down
01:04:48do you see how fast a match can change in the blink of an eye it's been a theme all night gable
01:04:55looking potentially for a diving headbutt but vikingo just a step ahead double knees to the sternum
01:05:01of the challenger and that's what it's all about the beautiful triple a mega championship well what a
01:05:07historic day this has been we've seen some great matches we've seen celebrities we've seen legends
01:05:13oh look at this
01:05:17and we may still see a brand new mega champion if chad gable has his way but vikingo
01:05:22fighting his heart out conan right and we see and now and we're also seeing a championship match
01:05:26and money in the bank that's right octagon and dom octagon junior and dirty dom for the
01:05:32intercontinental title still to come it could be a landmark day it already has been a historic day
01:05:37for the worlds of both wwe and triple a but now vikingo from the top rope a lot of distance to cover
01:05:44good god man double stop to the chest of the challenger to retain wow
01:05:56wow and that one brought you up out of your seat yeah well you know i mean these two guys just like
01:06:02the other matches nobody wants to lose you're here fighting for pride you're here fighting to be noticed
01:06:08and these two guys are no exception take another look at this vikingo with a double stop perhaps to
01:06:13the shoulder of chad gable that has been damaged as we've established just how badly we remain unsure
01:06:20but kudos to gable for surviving up over the top turnbuckle with the apron goes vikingo kick right
01:06:25between the eyes of the challenger but kingo from the middle rope
01:06:36my god how beautiful is that move to retain and gable stays alive that look conan that look could mean
01:06:47trouble for the champion let's take another look at the breathtaking athleticism a twisting 450
01:06:54reversing in midair great call
01:06:59again the people this is what vikingo wanted to get the crowd back into the fight
01:07:08handspring picked out of the air by gable looking for almost a gory special
01:07:14muscling the champion up razors edge position perhaps a niagara driver oh
01:07:21beautiful move they're just going back and forth the leg
01:07:26they're just going back and forth exchanging moves don't waste time with the referee bro
01:07:31it's a great point conan gable reaching deep into his arsenal to pull that one out
01:07:36gable could be thinking about taking a high risk
01:07:43did you want to do a moonsault gable has one of the prettiest moonsaults in the game
01:07:50here it comes wow he landed standing up
01:07:54vikingo gets the feet up just in time vikingo now
01:07:57wanting to show gable how it's done but gable connects with an open hand strike to the chin
01:08:06what on earth is gable thinking here this could be a rivalry for years to come corey
01:08:12oh this this could be a career ender conan wow that was incredible that's gotta do it
01:08:22cover for the title
01:08:32let's take another look at this inside sit-out power bomb how did it even kick out i don't know
01:08:40i have no earthly idea how this match is still rolling on wow
01:08:54and you can hear gable saying to himself he's just a luchador he's just lucha he's still gable
01:09:01still favoring the right shoulder 100 i mean i can't believe vikingo is able to get up in any
01:09:06capacity after that power bomb that was incredible but vikingo almost miraculously staying in this
01:09:13fight eager to defend his mega championship vikingo promised to defend with blood sweat and honor
01:09:24dropkick takes down gable the challenger gonna fly again i think that's a safe bet conan
01:09:31he might walk the ropes the mega champion from the top turnbuckle in the top of the ring post
01:09:40oh my god oh my god that was incredible
01:09:49come on you can't tell me gable's gonna get up from there's no way in hell conan there is no way
01:09:54in hell gable is getting up from this wow a mexican destroyer on the apron oh well we can go through
01:10:04him back it's just the technicality at this point congrats oh my god this is incredible i i don't know
01:10:12who's more stunned conan and the fans yourself or vikingo that had to be a game ender that was the walk-off
01:10:20that was the end and now vikingo perhaps feeling a sense of desperation asking himself what do i have
01:10:29to do what does he have to do the king will put him on the table that gable had set up for him
01:10:37from the top wow my god
01:10:43gable again thwarting whatever vikingo had in mind these guys are like michael myers everything
01:10:50every time you think they're dead they come up constantly soldiering forward two world-class
01:10:57athletes two of the best in the game and gable making the climb to the top turnbuckle vikingo below
01:11:09this place has come alive again this is incredible what we're watching
01:11:20i think the roof may blow off of the kia forum there's nothing else to say but the two words
01:11:27the fans are shouting right now what a match
01:11:33there's no loser in this match i don't see how either one of these gentlemen is going to make
01:11:40it back in the ring before the referees double count how you think i think so in which case vikingo
01:11:45will retain champion's advantage in effect i don't think he wants to win like that
01:11:48look at that look at that they're both getting into the ring at nine come on the people are applauding
01:11:58much deserved appreciation for two of the best to do it
01:12:05and this is becoming a test of wills conan who's got more left in the tank
01:12:14gable out of the way just in time looking for the ankle lock submission once more
01:12:22it's cinched in middle of the ring vikingo may be in jeopardy this is the right time to put it on
01:12:27because vikingo's tired he's having trouble reaching the ropes but how much pressure is
01:12:32gable able to apply with the injured right shoulder good question gable cranking with everything he has
01:12:40vikingo desperately scrambling for the ropes
01:12:47gable looking to transition for a german suplex vikingo lands on his feet great spin kick
01:12:55gable is rocked on the ropes he might have hurt himself that vikingo coming coming up a little lame
01:13:02favoring his knee this is bad
01:13:08oh why'd you run off the third incredible
01:13:15fighting through the pain fighting for his countrymen fighting for the art of lucha libre
01:13:23vikingo soldiering on now headed up to the top turnbuckle gable is down
01:13:336 30. is that enough for the mega title to retain
01:13:38the triple a triple a
01:13:43not triple a
01:13:45what a battle
01:14:01it delivered and then some believe the hype and premier if you will on a global scale
01:14:12for the mega championship and the mega champion el hijo del vikingo chad gable left everything
01:14:20he had in the ring outside of the ring vikingo with a beautiful poison rana which opened the
01:14:30door fighting through the pain for the 6 30 splash and this has been an honor for me but listen
01:14:39to the energy from the spanish announcers on that finale
01:14:43this is a beautiful moment you know the mexican flag all the mexican wrestlers up here in l.a
01:14:52and can i tell you something please conan please you've got to give chad his flowers that was a
