YMMV / AAA

• Critic-Proof: AAA is this in Mexico. It's got several bookers with vastly different visions working at once that sometimes lead to messes of cards that fans nonetheless pop for. One of its longest-running bookers, Vampiro, actively emulates Vince Russo, to the expected results, except his programs do not cause ratings drops and attendance declines like his idol. Antonio Pena himself had been using smoke, mirrors, promos and comedy to substitute for good wrestling since 2000 but fans still idolize him and will gladly overlook the flaws of green or phoning in tecnicos if they are 'cool' enough. The fans of otherwise similar promotions such as LLI/UWA, E/CMLL and IWRG are nowhere near as forgiving of their products, readily departing from arenas and changing the channel when in-ring quality declines, even rejecting many people that would go onto become huge in AAA or already were. These fans not coincidentally tend to be rather critical of AAA shows but their complaining does absolutely nothing to move the AAA fan base. The AAA-CMLL "war" is less a back and forth battle and more how well CMLL happens to be doing in comparison to AAA's financial consistency. Outside of Mexico, AAA is not such a juggernaut. When the wrestling and or booking quality is high Triple A tends to be among the hottest promotions on the planet yet for every five star rating an AAA match gets from a US publication like the Observer, for every time they've been allowed to run shows in venerated Japanese arenas like Korakuen Hall, for every international sensation like Los Vipers, Perros Del Mal or Psycho Circus there are just as many instances of AAA getting trashed. They once managed to turn fans of Lucha Underground, a show that was meant to draw international eyes to AAA, against AAA.
• Fan Nickname: A four-year angle where Gran Apache acted like a Boyfriend-Blocking Dad towards his daughter Fabi and she suffered because of it came to be known as La Telenovela o Una Telenovela ("The Soap Opera" or "A Soap Opera").^note Incidentally, the nickname was repurposed years later by Latino fans of WWE when a similar storyline happened there between Rey Mysterio and his daughter Aaliyah.
• Friendly Fandoms
  • The World Wrestling League's fan base tended to be very fond of Triple A because it was the most generous of the "big" enterprises when it came to sharing talent and allowing new stars to be put over(much more than TNA, WWC or Zero 1; only perennial rival CMLL came close). Even after AAA and WWL officially split when the the latter began acting less like a governing body and more like an enterprise in its own right, this amicable relationship endured thanks to El Patron Alberto hold title belts in both promotions at the same time. Also helping was that World Wrestling League's move to Mega TV allowed for many stealth shout outs to AAA's Mega Championship belt. This died down a little though when Konnan, who is heavily associated with AAA, came into WWL and was misblamed for perceived problems with company's promotional efforts and booking.
  • Lucha Liga Elite's fan base were initially among those critical of Triple A, but that changed when the two had joint shows in 2018.
• Memetic Mutation: Posting the company's logo as a substitute for a wrestler screaming in a match or promo.
• Overshadowed by Controversy: Some of the company's events in the 2010s have gained infamy that was able to escape Mexico and gain international attention.
  • TripleManía XXIII became best known for its bad production values and the overall bad quality of all but two matches of the event,^note Said two matches being El Patrón Alberto vs. Brian Cage in a Lucha de Apuestas hair vs. hair match, and Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Myzteziz. to the point that Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter awarded the event both Worst Major Wrestling Show and Worst Match of the Year, the latter for the Los Villanos vs. Los Psycho Circus six-man tag team match.^note One of the Villanos was limited due to a stroke while the other two were completely out of shape, forcing the Psycho Circus to carry them. to disastrous results. Not helping matters any was that the event was clearly positioned to open AAA to the U.S. market.
  • TripleManía XXV would become best known for the Sexy Star/Rosemary incident,^note Sexy Star put Rosemary in what was supposed to be a worked armbar but cranked it for real, damaging Rosemary's elbow and putting her on the shelf for a few months. Sexy Star has never explained why she did this, but it's believed she had heat with another wrestler in the match, Lady Shani, and tried to get rough with her only for Shani to handle her easily, leaving Star to take her frustration out on Rosemary. whose aftermath overshadowed Dr. Wagner's unmasking later on in the show, at least in the States.
