Reina de Reinas 2012


コミカル&セクシー プロレスリングWAVE VOL.22 by Kingughidorah 

The Reina de Reinas championship is the women's world title of the Mexican wrestling promotion AAA (Asistencia Asesoría y Administración ) It has been around since 1999 and it is currently the only women's only championship in AAA. Reina de Reinas basically translates into " Queen of Queens Championship "Not only is a a belt that is defended in traditional singles matches, there is also an annual tournament, where the winner is crowned the champion! On November 27, 2012, when AAA held the tournament in Tokyo Japan in association with Pro Wrestling WAVE.

The winner of Sexy Star vs Blake vs the winner of KAGUYA vs Fabi Apache *Reina de Reinas FINAL*

The matches that evening were broadcast both on Mexican and Japanese Television. I have found video of both the AAA broadcast and the WAVE broadcast. It is interesting to see how different companies view the same material. Personally I prefer the WAVE broadcast as it includes almost all the matches, while the AAA version only includes matches with AAA wrestlers involved. One thing I do like on the AAA broadcast is, the documentary style video package showing the wrestlers in Japan and general build for the Reina de Reinas tournament. While I enjoyed that I was disappointed the AAA coverage did not include the Kana vs Yumi Ohka or Ayumi vs Syuri.
Still It is always interesting to see how two different companies view the same event.  I was reminded the differences from watching NJPW's  Wrestle Kingdom II and watching TNA's Global iMPACT...even though they are essentially the same event....
