Konnan did not have a smooth trip at Impact Wrestling’s recent tapings in Mexico City.
The promotion filmed their next set of television tapings last weekend; however, the big news coming out of the events is the confrontation between Konnan and AAA star Psicosis II (no relation to the Psicosis in WCW).
An argument between the two took place following the tapings on Friday, with Psicosis II slapping the taste out of Konnan’s mouth at the end of it. A fight never occurs between the two men; however, the argument was clearly a heated war of words:
Psicosis II explained the confrontation on
President XL, stating that it was personal between him and Konnan due to the lack of booking he’s received in AAA recently:
“I think what happened yesterday (slapping konnan) caused a lot of controversy. That was not my intention. You know me, I am someone that is calm but if you come looking for trouble. You will find it. This was something I explained to Konnan. So when someone upsets me past my limit, I have to confront them. That’s what happened. It was merely personal reasons that caused that reaction.”
“I am still working for AAA. He is still part of AAA. Even though I get little work from them. Mostly with a few regional promoters. Not on TV. My situation is due to a variety of reasons but that’s not my problem or what caused yesterday’s actions to happen. It was personal.”
“What it is, is that Nicho is a very good friend of his and he (Konnan) boasts that he’s the only Psicosis. That he can do what he pleases and take the character to all these shows and promoters. Konnan told me to fix it however I could. I warned him in October about it.”
“I could not see him until now that I had a show that day.”
Psicosis II says that he slapped Konnan so he could remember what they were talking about, as the AAA booker was playing coy with the situation before it got physical:
“I am 52. He is 52. He is not an old man.” If he’s in his current state from all the vices he par-takes in. That’s not my problem.“
“If I was a bad greedy person I would have killed him with blows. But I’m not like that. I’m not going to hurt someone that didn’t even defend themselves. Psicosis demands Konnan does not sell Nicho to other promoters as Psicosis. Or take bookings for Nicho as that character.”
Check out the full interview as Psicosis II continues to describe the issues between him and Konnan. At the moment, the Impact star has yet to give his take on the on-going situation. We’ll keep you updated if Konnan decides to speak about what happened over the weekend.
