Triplemanía II-C

Triplemanía II-C was a major lucha libre, or professional wrestling event Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) that took place at the El Toreo bullfighting arena in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico on May 27, 1994.

Portraying the archetypes of "good" and "evil' AAA had created a storyline where the "hero" Konnan sought revenge against the "villain" Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

The show was also supposed to feature a match for the Mexican National Middleweight Championship but the reigning champion Octagón was not medically cleared to wrestle.

[1][3][4][5] The Triplemanía show featured eight professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines.

AAA built their August 28, 1993 La Revencha show in the Los Angeles Sports Arena around Konnan finally getting in the ring with Roberts, in a three-way elimination match that also included Cien Caras.

[6][9] Part of Peña booking strategy was to not have the two rivals fight one-on-one right away, building the anticipation to when they finally get in the ring for their first singles match.

They met in a steel cage match to even the numbers in the main event of AAA's spring Los Angeles Sports Arena show.

[10][11] The loss to Konnan was used as the impetus to Roberts finally agreeing to put his hair on the line in a Lucha de Apuesta, or "bet match", which was the ultimate end game for the storyline.

[13] The Los Gringos Locos storyline carried AAA into their subsequent major shows "Night of Champions" and later on their first ever pay-per-view (PPV) AAA When Worlds Collide that was driven by the feud between a Pareja del Terror (Eddy Guerrero and Love Machine) facing off against El Hijo del Santo and Octagón in a Luchas de Apuestas match where Guerrero and Love Machine ended up losing their hair.

[12] John Molinario, who writes about wrestling for the Canadian Online Explorer, described the show as a "booking masterpiece by Pena" and that it established Antonio Peña as "the best booker in the business.

Jake Roberts , risked his hair on the outcome of the main event match.
