In 1994 Estrada became involved in a storyline feud with one of AAA's top "tecnicos" (good guys) Heavy Metal with the now veteran Estrada playing the role of the angry veteran wrestler who did not believe Heavy Metal was tough enough to be a top-level wrestler. The storyline between the two became the background for the main event of AAA's Triplemanía II-A, where Heavy Metal and Estrada faced off in a "Lucha de Apuesta", or bet match. The original plan was for Heavy Metal to defeat Estrada at Triplemanía, but for unrevealed reasons Antonio Peña decided to change the finish of the match, booking Estrada to win instead. Estrada won the third fall of the match by disqualification as planned. Afterward, Heavy Metal got very emotional about the loss, the prospect of having his hair shaved off and his future in AAA, and started to cry and beg for the result to be nullified. At that point, Peña came to the ring to talk to Heavy Metal. At that point Peña had the match restarted and Heavy Metal won the final fall when Peña changed his mind on the outcome of the match. A visibly annoyed Estrada only had part of his hair cut off before he left the ring and went backstage.
