Earlier this summer, RUSH announced that he and his father will no longer working for AAA and that they are free agents, at least where Mexico is concerned.
While speaking on the K100 podcast, pro wrestling veteran Konnan talked about Rush’s actions leading to his shocking AAA departure and how the situation escalated.
“(RUSH) was mad because we weren’t using him enough, but one of the things is … they (LFI) had a feud … it was against the Dynamite Brothers.
Now one of the Dynamite Brothers is the guy (El Cuatrero) that they put in jail for supposedly choking that girl wrestler. So it’s very hard to do anything ’cause this guy’s in jail.
I thought he was going to get out quick, so I was waiting for him to get out, so I wasn’t getting them work.
Plus RUSH, bro, he charges a lot of f****** money. And it’s, like, bro, you’re not in the United States. I have a budget. And when I put you on the show, you eat a quarter of my f****** thing.
I’d rather bring in two or three other wrestlers. I thought what he did was very unprofessional, and I also had another wrestler try to pull that s*** with me not too recently, and I’m not going to forget that either.
But, you know, they get power, they’re in the United States, and they abuse their f****** power and they do s*** like this.”
Konnan
RUSH remains signed to All Elite Wrestling in the United States, and is scheduled to appear on this Friday’s edition of Rampage as LFI taken on The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass.
