X-Pac welcomes Konnan to the show.
Konnan mentions that he’s currently working with a new promotion called “Aro Lucha” and they just held their first show last weekend which turned out to be a great success. He knew there was a market for touring Lucha wrestling shows after the success of Lucha Underground.
People constantly say that nobody watches Lucha Underground with the viewership averaging around the 100,000 mark, but Konnan travels all around the world and everyone knows Lucha Undergroud. He points out that people watch programming differently now, viewing on YouTube and other websites instead of television.
Konnan says he’s a huge fan of storytelling in professional wrestling but sometimes people just want to watch guys go out to the ring and do the most athletic things possible to keep them on the edge of their seats the entire night.
Konnan talks about Rey Mysterio losing his mask in WCW many years ago. He points out that people in Mexico were not happy about that back in the day and there are some people who still hold that against Mysterio to this day. In the United States football is the premier sport followed by baseball, basketball, and so on. In Mexico the premier sport is Soccer followed by wrestling, so people really take their wrestling to heart there.
