Bruce Prichard on WWE’s attempt to buy AAA and why the deal didn’t happen

Bruce Prichard recently spoke about WWE In Your House 12: It’s Time on his “Something To Wrestle With” podcast.

It was around the time WWE was trying to buy the AAA promotion in Mexico. Konnan told the story a few years ago on his show MLW Radio. He noted that then-President of Global Business Development, Carl Demarco, approached the Roldan family about buying a controlling stake in the company. Konnan says he pushed Dorian Roldan not to take the offer because he knew that WWE could change things and get rid of people they didn’t like.

Konnan had a bad experience during his brief stint as Max Moon in 1992 so he has good reason to worry about what WWE might do if they gain control of the company.

Prichard gives his take on the story of why WWE didn’t buy AAA:

“We tried to buy AAA,” Prichard said. “Someday we need to experience the entirety of AAA. This is after their heyday. When they were in their prime with Konnan, Eddie (Guerrero), Art (Barr), La Parka and all of those, the original AAA crew they had, it was crazy. But once you’re in and once you’re into their business, working with them is an absolute nightmare.”
