THE FANTASTICS def. DOUG GILBERT + CHICKY STARR
This weeks sleazy Chris Cruise 1-800 come on
this week is rumors floating of the possible demise of yet another competitor to AAA, and the implications to the wrestling world, of course you have to pay .99 a minute to find out what promotion it is, and what stars the AAA is going to claim they will sign from it.
THE STEINER BROTHERS + BRIAN PILLMAN V LOS GRINGOS LOCOS + AL SNOW w/Miss Toni
About what you would expect with the level of talent in the ring. Pillman constantly blows kisses at and flirts with Toni Adams, who tries to conceal a smile from Al Snow. Scott Steiner landed a Frankensteiner on Love Machine for the pin, but was hit with a flying body press by Eddie Guerrero. Brian Pillman and Rick Steiner came in, all hell broke loose and both dressing rooms had to empty to separate the two teams. Great moves, great heat, and a finish that will help build up to Triple Mania. ****
Speaking of which, it is time for the:
[glow=red,2,300]CONTROL CENTER[/glow] with Chris Cruise, who reminds the fans that TripeMania will see Los Gringos Locos defend the AAA World Tag Team Championship against The Steiner Brothers, and the debut of the 8-0’ Giant Gonzales.
Cruise has an after-brawl interview with The Steiners and Brian Pillman. The Steiners say they are thrilled with the signing and are out to prove that they are the best tag team in the world, and that is what they will do May 5. Brian Pillman accepts Al Snow’s challenge for Triple Mania, but only if he gets one night with Toni Adams if he wins.
Chris thanks them for the interview, and then announces that next week, we will learn the Main Event of TripleMania! In addition, 2 other arenas will also host major Triple Mania cards in May and June, and they will be announced next week, as well.
Promo for the AAA CONFLICT ACROSS AMERICA TOUR. Fans are encouraged to tune into the AAA Network (syndicated TV) over the weekend to learn the lineups for their local cards.

ULTIMO DRAGON def. DAMIAN 666 in another good TV match.
Disco Inferno is interviewed from backstage. Inferno brags about his win over Vampiro last week, and challenges Vampiro to a match at TripleMania, just so he can humiliate him in front of the biggest pay per view audience in history, and says he will beat in in any match Vampiro asks for. Be careful what you ask for, Vinnie.
As Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla” plays, a clip is shown of a clip from a Godzilla movie of people running from a monster destroying Tokyo, except this monster seems to be wearing . . wrestling boots. That’s all we see of him. The clip ends with “THE GIANT GONZALEZ: COMING TO TRIPLE MANIA MAY 5!!!!!
LUMBERJACK MATCH
EL HIJO DEL SANTO + OCTAGON V TITAN SPORTS, INC w/The Natural
Considering the lumberjacks, you know this one is going to be out of control as well. The Titans throw Santo and Octagon like rag dolls right into the heel lumberjacks, who start roughing them up, drawing the ire of the babyface jacks, and both factions starts brawling out at ringside. It appears as if the much larger Titans are going to destroy tiny Santo and Octagon, but they use their quickness to overwhelm them, and double-dropkicks Atomic Titan out of the ring, who falls into the heel lumberjacks area, and of course, the heels give him a breather forcing the babyfaces to come over and force another brawl.
In another cool sequence, Santo and Octagon double kicked Big Titan over the top rope onto the heel lumberjacks, and when the heels took too long throwing Big Titan in, Santo and Octagon double plancha then entire crew, knocking them over like bowling pins, allowing the faces to come over, and throw Big Titan back into the ring.
The finish saw The Natural get up on the ring, and repeatedly interrupt the three count while Santo or Octagon had the edge. Finally, Ricky Morton got on the top turnbuckle and dropkicked Atomic Titan in the mush, and Octagon rolled on top of him, and you could have counted to 12, Titan wasn’t getting up and Santo and Octagon beat the Titans AGAIN, as a another brawl breaks out at ringside between the lumberjacks to close out Inferno.
