Biography

Antonio Peña (born 1948 - October 5, 2006) was the founder of the Mexican professional wrestling promotion AAA, which was revolutionary in the way matches in Mexico were presented, and reached its height of popularity in the early 1990's before the downturn of the Mexican economy.

Antonio Peña was a former professional wrestler and promotor who began his career in CMLL, but left (along with Konnan) in 1992 to form the Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion promotion. AAA is the promotion largely responsible for bringing the "Lucha" style to the United States, with such wrestlers as Rey Misterio Jr, Psicosis, La Parka, Konnan and others. Peña was the former head booker of EMLL before forming AAA.

Peña died on October 5, 2006 due to a massive heart attack, according to reports from Super Luchas magazine.

Controversy with Trademarks

Peña has occasionally been criticized with trademarking gimmicks and not allowing the original performers of the gimmicks to use the name elsewhere. The two prime examples being in the case of Psicosis (the original Psicosis) and L.A. Park (the original La Parka), who were not allowed to use the names and gimmicks in Mexico.
