He was brought in as the "Mexican Champion", and according to an old PWTorch, after beating One Man Gang he was supposed to take a "giant killer" role (coincidentally, like Rey later would).
This apparently would've culminated with a main event push against The Giant or Hogan. Bischoff knew that Konnan could "draw" in AAA, and that promotion drew better than WCW and WWF in Southern California.
Then the NWO happened, and Konnan put on a flannel...joined the Dungeon of Doom...then NWO.
Gangsta Flannel KONNAN = Blah AAA KONNAN w/ Eagle logo tights and tassles = Huge Draw.
Just #127 in 1,000 things WCW screwed up during the Nitro/NWO years. He's still one of the best three speakers in the business (and I HATED his WCW/Wolfpac/Filthy Animals/3 Live Kru schtick, if you haven't seen him in LAX, you're missing out.)

Yo Yo Yo Lemme Speak on this!
Those strawberries say they're 'for life' but the Wolfpac is "forever."
We're Rowdy Rowdy and Bowdy Bowdy!"
Ariba la Raza!
Lather. Rinse. Repeat forever. Never change.
Even when the faction you're talking about is dead.

Now before you give me strange looks, watch any WCW show from June 1998 to around June 2000. He was one of the most over wrestlers in the company bar none. Yes he got the TV and Tag Team Titles around this period, but they could have easily given him a U.S. Title run, if only to see if it would work. What do you guys think? he did get a US title run, back during his debut

BTW I've watched a lot of anime and I still can't figure out who the people are walking through that sig. Tsukihime isn´t that famous. But it is very good. Not the best, has many problems but it´s a nice 26 episodes series. Back on topic, am I the only one who liked Konnan? Seriosly the guy was good in the ring.

Danke, but isn't there a Kohaku in Inuyasha as well? I'll have to check out Tsukihime. Okay, sorry for getting off topic.
