Konnan Is Mad AAA Hasn't Expanded To The United States, But Still Negotiating

AAA has been one of the top names in lucha libre for many years now, but despite their physical proximity to the United States, AAA has had trouble breaking into the United States.

"The problem has been we've partnered with guys that said they could get us what we wanted and they never did," AAA head booker Konnan explained on "Keepin' It 100" recently, "and most of those guys I told them 'They're not going to be able to get you what you want,' but they did what they're going to do anyways." 

According to Konnan, the current state of AAA's television offers have officials having to make a hard decision, whether to "take nothing and prove themselves," or to try for a better offer. Konnan says he's always believed that it's better to bet on oneself.

On the bright side though, AAA is currently working with a group of venture capitalists behind Formula 1 Racing's burgeoning popularity in the U.S. AAA officials are hoping to put together a show like "Formula 1: Drive To Survive" which laid the groundwork for the sport's newfound attention, with goals of selling the show to either Netflix or Hulu.

"I think we've stopped our own progression in the United States by being disorganized," Konnan confessed, blaming the promotion itself for a lack of organization, saying they continue to "[shoot] ourselves in the foot." But he remains hopeful that this time things might work out. 

"I'm the first one that's mad that we're still not in the United States," Konnan said, "but I can tell you this, these are the correct people, these are the people that are going to take us where we need to go."
