The Damien/Galaxy thing I totally missed, but the Atlantis thing I was just about to ask someone about - I remebering recapping the Atlantis match, and the match where he was called Lizmark Jr. (and faced Emilio!), but I have no idea why he was there or why they changed the name. Did WCW try to start something up with CMLL?

If you have Galavision, either on DirecTV or cable, it's on Saturdays, usually, but not always in the afternoon.

I believe the conventional wisdom goes something like this: "Too much action and too many people for only referee to keep track of everything."
A better question would be: Why one tecnico referee (Papa Casas) and one rudo ref (Tirantes)? | thecubsfan

I'm sure the rudos unionized and threatened to walk out if they were not representated in the officating - why should all the referees call things fair and notice all the low blows? That's not represnting the rudos at all. | darkdragoon

Either the ref helps them out or they tend to use moves that have similar names in the other language. | sethseekstruth

Next question---what was the big deal with Konnan? All I ever saw was him sucking in WCW. I heard, someplace, that he was the "Hulk Hogan of Mexico"--care to explain that whole thing? | The Psycho Pirate

Well, when Konnan (el Barbaro) was in AAA, he was "a heartthrob" and often appeared on one of those Mexican soap operas. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
