WOR Video: Konnan on Kenny Omega vs. Vikingo II

Konnan talked about Kenny Omega & Vikingo, as well as future breakout talent, on Wrestling Observer Radio.

Dave Meltzer and Garrett Gonzales were joined by Konnan as he discussed how the Omega vs. Vikingo match came about. Konnan revealed that originally, the first match was to take place in AAA.

“The first one was going to be with us,” Konnan said. “And [Omega] got hurt. Then the second time I talked to him, he was still negotiating with AEW.”

Konnan said that despite AEW being the first to have the match this past March, he said that he didn’t care, as those who watch AAA don’t watch AEW.

“They might read about it or whatever, but our fans…we’ve been around 30 years, our fans are our fans, and they want to see that match in Mexico. We really built Kenny in no time at all into like a rock star. They love him in Mexico.”

When asked about upcoming stars in AAA, Konnan brought up one male wrestler who is set to debut soon and a high-flying women’s wrestler who he recently discovered. However, he did mention one name he thought would become big in the next year.

“Jack Cartwheel,” Konnan said. “He’s a former gymnast. Incredible attitude, very creative. Does really cool s***. “
