Konnan Defends Taking AAA Latin American Title Off Rey Fenix, Use of QT Marshall

During the latest episode of Keepin’ it 100 (via Fightful), Konnan spoke about why he decided to have Rey Fenix vacate the AAA Latin American title and why QT Marshall won it. Marshall won a 4-way at AAA TripleMania XXXI: Mexico City to win the belt, beating Dralistico, El Texano Jr., and Pentagon Jr.

Konnan said: “‘Oh, you took the belts off Fenix,’ the guy didn’t defend them for a year. Should I leave them on him forever to when him and Tony [Tony Khan] decide…I had to take it off of him. That’s a dumb remark. I thought the QT match was really good, and I’ll tell you why. It’s very rare that my boss comes up to me and says ‘hey, I want that guy back.’ He came back right after the match and he goes, ‘can we have QT back?’ He looked really good. [People] go, ‘Oh, he’s a jobber.’ He’s not a jobber here. If you’re a jobber there, you have to be a jobber here? Do you know how many people know who QT Marshall is in Mexico? Only the hardcore fans. Right now, every casual fan is like, ‘this is the guy who just won the Latin American Title and beat Pentagon, and he got heat on his first match.’“
