Local luchador joins international card at Triplemania
LAREDO — One of Laredo’s own, Laredo Kid, was among the wrestlers shown arriving for AAA Triplemania 34 — Night One held Sept. 11 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, according to a report from PWTorch. The event, aired live on YouTube, featured an eclectic card including the billed headliner of Omos vs. Rey Mysterio and several multi-competitor matches.
The broadcast’s opening hour included footage of performers entering the arena. Alongside Laredo Kid, others seen arriving were Mr. Iguana, La Parka, Dirty Dominik and El Grande Americano. Commentators for the night included Corey Graves and John Bradshaw Layfield in English, with Jose Manuel Guillen and Roberto Figueroa on the Spanish broadcast. Ring announcer Lilian Garcia handled in-arena introductions.
Event highlights and opening-match incident
Triplemania’s opener, a mixed six-person tag, produced an early injury that drew concern. The match featured Adelicious, Mascarita Sagrada and Mini Vikingo against Lady Shani, Mini Abismo Negro and Jack Cartwheel. The minis and high-flying competitors delivered energetic sequences, but Lady Shani appeared to sustain a problem within the opening minute and was checked by medical personnel at ringside.
The match continued after the stoppage; Mini Vikingo finished with a high-risk shooting star press to score the fall, with the team of Adelicious, Mascarita Sagrada and Mini Vikingo recorded as winners at 9:16. The match illustrated AAA’s emphasis on fast-paced aerial offense and the prominent role of the micromatch participants in the card.
“Mr. Iguana, Laredo Kid, La Parka, Omos, Dirty Dominik, Rey Mysterio, and El Grande Americano were shown arriving at the building,”
That arrival shot signaled the mix of talent on display — established international stars alongside generational and mask-wearing performers who are mainstays of the lucha tradition.
What this means for Laredo fans
While the report does not list the outcome of any match involving Laredo Kid on Night One, his presence on the Triplemania stage is notable for fans in Webb County and the greater South Texas wrestling community. Triplemania is one of AAA’s flagship shows, often reserved for significant storylines and marquee moments, and the appearance of a Laredo-born or Laredo-associated wrestler on that platform places a local name on an international stage.
For local promoters, trainers and fans, having a hometown figure visible at a major international event can raise the profile of Laredo’s wrestling scene, potentially boosting interest in local cards, talent development and youth participation. It also underscores the cross-border and cross-market appeal of lucha libre talent cultivated in South Texas and northern Mexico.
