TripleMania Gives Vampiro the F@#&-ing Spotlight

Obviously, we love the WWE and all it has to offer, but every now and then, you've got to give the other great wrestling promotions across the globe their due. AAA, the Mexico based promotion, had their annual TripleMania event over the weekend and man was it entertaining! It wasn't "knock your socks off" wrestling, but it was outrageous enough to keep one's attention.

The highlight of the night for me (and what motivated me to watch this show) was the obscenity filled spat that Vampiro had with the production team in the back, to get his music to play for a segment. 

To set the scene, Konnan (old fart Konnan) was in the ring with Jeff Jarrett (old fart Jeff Jarrett) to throw some shade at Vampiro (currently on commentary). While Vampiro took the verbal shots from Konnan, two guys named Pagano and Murder Clown (who I am not familiar with) came to defend Vampiro...kind of...?

After they were... done helping...(???) .Vampiro stood outside of the ring, staring down Konnan. Then...this happened: (courtesy of @maffewgregg)

The hilarity of this moment is made even better as Matt Striker tried to make sense of this madness. It definitely will stick with me for a long time and I'm sure to keep tuned in to find out what is next for Konnan and Vampiro. 

I'll be honest, if you're not a fan of AAA (which I am not) there isn't too much here for you. Sure, most of the wrestling is good, but since when do we only care about the wrestling? I believe there is a good reason we all can't tune into ANY television show or sporting event and find complete satisfaction. Without some sort of rapport, this show turned into a "fast forward fest". 

Can't wait for RAW though!
