Konnan did a Q&A on the latest “Keepin’ It 100” podcast. Here are some highlights and scroll down to listen to the entire podcast.
Konnan talked about some of the Mexican talent getting stiffed by some wrestlers in WCW:
“I do remember that he (Chris Adams) was taking liberties with them and you know, they were just learning the style and they really didn’t know what’s going on. I went in there and I think I stiffed him a couple of times. You’d have to watch the match. I didn’t have many with Chris Adams and see what happened, but I do remember at the end he did tell me in the dressing what was my problem? I said, ‘The same problem you have with these guys. You’re fu**ing taking liberties on them, so what’s up?’ There was another time where I almost fought one of the Armstrongs. I don’t know which if it was Scott or the other guy because they were also, I thought, taking liberties on the Mexican wrestlers and I believe maybe Robbie Brookside was part of that whole thing because I remember getting in his face and Regal was super mad, but that’s how it was back then. I mean, people always taking liberties on other people and you had to stand up for yourself, so that’s how it was.”
Konnan’s thoughts on Dusty Rhodes:
“I actually went to see him in the Miami Beach Convention Center when I was a kid because he was like the idol of Miami, bro. I mean, you could put him up there with anybody, the Dolphins, I mean, that’s how hot that guy was. When I met him, I definitely marked out. When we worked in TNA, it was very weird bro because we would talk and he was not honest with me which really hurt me. I was like, wow really dude? The other thing was that he didn’t know half the people’s name on the roster. I’m like, you’re the booker, dude. He also, which I thought was a very successful little group, 3LK, me, Ron Killings, and BG James, he came in and he broke that up. I just thought, why are you breaking up a good thing? He brought in Billy Gunn, and then he wanted Billy Gunn and Road Dogg to be a team. There was no reason for it.”
