- The lucha commission invalidating the finish of Park/Parka is a designed part of a storyline. AAA had no intention of doing a definite finish. They weren’t going to take Parka AAA out of the costume, but there was ‘backstage politicking’ which led to the finish. Konnan, who mentioned having to convince people in management to bring back LA Park and bring in Los Perros, specifically said LA Park was not going to do the match unless he got his hand raised. LA Park’s statements this week about not caring if Parka AAA keeps the name and mask are 100% Park going into business for himself, aware that Parka AAA will not actually be losing the name or mask, and making it clear that it still should count as a win even as AAA prepares an angle otherwise.
If this was the plan all along, they should’ve done the commission invalidating bit at the post show press conference, or not at all. The confusion about the angle didn’t help and Dorian seeming to say the result stood without being challenged makes no sense, unless they wanted to hide the angle from the press, which seems silly. The idea should be to get people into wanting to see a more definite match, but they left the impression that this was the definite match. Nothing else matters until the mask match.
- LA Park is under contract to AAA, but they’re still working on signing him to another contract specifically for him to lose his mask. AAA would like to see him lose his mask to Parka AAA, but it may end up being Wagner (who also might lose his mask, though he’s been talking about that for the better part of a decade.) Park and Parka may end up going in different directions for a while before coming back again each other.
- AAA has a contract with Los Perros. When listing the members, Konnan mentioned Perro Jr., Damian 666, Halloween, Black Warrior, Hijo de Lizmark, and Super Crazy (who he wasn’t sure if had been ever in AAA – he has) as guys he wanted to see working with AAA guys. Konnan didn’t say they were working with just those guys, but they sounded like the guys he was most excited about. It didn’t sound like Konnan had big plans for the Mexican Heavyweight Champ, but perhaps it just slipped his mind.
- There’s a major angle coming off the Roldan family feud and the finish to the main event, but Konnan wanted to avoid specifics so it wouldn’t get out. It sounds like it’s happening soon – AAA doesn’t plan on slowing down during the World Cup – so probably next week’s tapings.
If they’re doing an angle where the AAA & Legion team up, I’ve been thinking not all of the Legion is going with them. Vampiro and Konnan are feuding in storyline, so perhaps Vamp & Zorro are joining the Perros, but the surprise is other people going with them? Wild guess.
It’s a very good idea to run a big angle soon. You don’t want fans to dwell on how the promotion did not give them a finish in the main event of the biggest show of the year.
Konnan did say they plan to run a lot of Legion vs AAA the next month (much like every month!) to take advantage of higher levels of national pride.
- Verano de Escandalo is in Arena Monterrey. Konnan thought it was about six weeks from now but couldn’t remember the date off the top of his head.
