La Legión Extranjera
Legión Extranjera (Foreign Legion) is an AAA rudo group, though loosely affilated. It's basically a catch all for one time and irregularly scheduled foreign heels, working as Konnan's hired guns. This is also allows AAA to advertise matches where the Legión Extranjera are scheduled, without announcing the specific participants before the show (and since they appear to have last minute changes, it prevents false advertising.)
The Foreign Legion leader is Konnan. At the end of 2006, he was put out of action by Cibernetico (giving him time to take care of health issues.) Nicho debuted in 2007 as the replacement leader, getting revenge for Konnan while he's recovering.
During the period Konnan worked for TNA, many TNA wrestlers appeared in AAA as both members of Legión Extranjera and as representing their promotions. Since leaving TNA, Konnan's appeared to stop using their workers.
Most wrestlers listed appeared very few times; this list is an attempt to include everyone who was part of Legión Extranjera. Besides Konnan and Nicho, only Kenzo Suzuki and Head Hunter I were regulars early in 2007. Both X-Pac and Ron Killings became regulars with unit (and promotion) in mid 2007, and Sabu frequently appeared with them as well. The Foreign Legion has had ties to La Secta, Vipers Revolution, The Hart Foundation 2.0 and The Dark Family.
Through out 2008 Konnan fought for the ownership of AAA. In October 2008 he won the rights to own AAA via a War Games style cage match. There appears an alliance with La Hermandad, but they're not considered regular members. Since Konnan owned AAA, it's not uncommon for other AAA rudos to partner with the Legion where it benefits both sides much like Vipers Revolution had in the past. This would last until TripleMania in June 2009 when Konnan lost his power and the Legión disbanded.
