Konnan's Mexican wrestling career was hampered in the late-1990s by his American wrestling commitments, and Promo Azteca closed in 1998. He made a return to the Mexican wrestling circuit in the 2000s after a six year absence, selling-out arenas in Mexico City and Guadalajara. Guadalajara (ˌgwɑːdləˈhɑːrə Spanish pronunciation) is the capital city of the Mexican state of Jalisco, and the seat of the municipality [16]

Konnan was given many ring names, including his own name, the Comet Kid, Maximillion Moves, El Electrico, and eventually Max Moon.

His character hailed from "The Future" or "Outer Space", his entrance music was a techno song, and his finishing move was the flying bodypress (a somersault onto his opponent with them on his shoulders).

His attire was unique - blue leather, silver foam tubing and a mask. On his way to the ring, he shot sparkles into the crowd, and wore a jetpack which he used to propel him to the ring. The character and particularly the outfit is often the subject of ridicule in internet literature as it was even more cartoonish than many of the gimmicks of the early 1990s. Many seem to forget his array of aerial wrestling ability.

Debuting in the WWF on September 1, 1992 in Hershey, PA under the name the Comet Kid, he pinned Barry Horowitz. Barry Horowitz (born on March 24, 1960 in St Petersburg Florida) is an American professional wrestler, best known for his stint He had televised matches against non jobbers in the following matches:

Feeling that he had accomplished all that he could in Mexico, and desiring to expand his popularity north of the border, Konnan returned to WCW on a full-time basis in January 1996.
