Wow, racists and marks really hate Konnan. I think he's a good dude. He parties a little hard, but still, a good dude.

[@zerolizard]

I remember attending a WcW Nitro in Houston once and it was so damn boring. The main event I believe was Goldberg/Nash and it ended up being a taped skit rather than a match. Doubt they were even in the building. But the main thing I remember from that night was Konnan coming out for his match and waking the crowd up! He was great and full of energy even for a crap show. Only thing good about that night.

[@rochallaway7121]

I love Konnan, not only is he a tough guy he is intelligent as hell

[@wHw_Syxx]

konnan talks real....respect his character in wrestling and as a person....sick moves...!! cheers carlos!

[@chriskoob]

the irony is you got podcast of konnan talking bout racism in wrestling and yet here of pic of him from his wcw days when he was doing the latino gangster steriotype so in a sense that made him a willing participate of the racism

[@TReaperMusic]

chriskoob he tagged team with Nash and nwo how’s that racist bro?

[@the_gray_hatter]

"Mousetrap on a pole" match? God, my head hurts just listening to that shit!

[@elguero281]

After his years in WCW and TNA, he went to Mexico to be in AAA (A TNA affiliate) but he does have mic skills whatever the language

[@reye5034]

he only holds the all time attendance record in Mexico

[@BRONROMANICK3637]

I do remember konnan once saying that in mexico, he is hulk hogan.

[@insan3fighter612]

Bruhhhh hahaha smoking that lala konnan my favorite wrestler as of today lol

[@StephenAlexWalker]

Does anyone know how his health is these days?

[@theungreatkahli]

Konnan says he won in the lawsuit

[@zomb60]

He probably didnt go to the wwe because he knew that they would give him a luchador gimmick and put him in fueds with hornswoggle lol

[@TReaperMusic]

Bryan Thomas he was in wwe bro and didn’t dig the way Vince was booking him

[@theungreatkahli]

He's said it was his own fault when he got fired in the early 90's as Max Moon, since he didn't show up. Says it was because he was making so much more money in another territory and doing a hip hop album.

[@SolidSolve]

Preach Konnan. Respect ya hardwork.

[@prinsalman]

KONNAN CURSING;) LOL

[@theungreatkahli]

Good stuff haha

[@dJ.kNiGhT23]

What is smoking that la la is it weed?

[@BRONROMANICK3637]

Yep.

[@StephenAlexWalker]

That's good news he was always very entertaining in WCW good to hear he's on the mend though sad that he still needs to wrestler at his age and in his physical shape.

[@pjwrestlingfan619]

hey can u post more konnan interviews bro please hes the only wrestler who speaks the truth about wrestling

[@theungreatkahli]

No doubt.

[@wHw_Syxx]

never ever heard weed being called .....La La? hahah,i laughed LOL

[@theungreatkahli]

Puffing on that lye hahaha.

[@downwiththemaster]

damn he sounds like a really cool person

[@nickloks]

it isn't like he had a choice of his gimmick, the only people who got control of their character were hogan, savage, nash and a few other guys

[@Sabocalypse]

google MLWradio he has a weekly podcast, and talks about lots of stuff TNA, WWE etc

[@Hellcasters]

I think they are TNA are trying to settle it out of court but it's lawsuit is still pending.

[@CeeEmmz]

LOL KONNAN IS THE BESTTTT!!!!

[@AwesomeTRX]

im pretty sure your not familiar with the gang terms, so you shouldn't just go and make assumptions on what you see or hear...

[@MacPr0xnxx0]

thx for the upload

[@BlakethaReaper]

MAX MOON anyone!!!!!!!!!!

[@Spckeck]

Can we get AAA here in the U.S? I've been meaning to check them out.

[@zedus456]

@anvilofcrom you have a very strong and valid and very accurate point

[@Comanche_moon]

They should just have Disco sitting on a pole

[@TReaperMusic]

Commodore Schmidlapp lol that killed me

[@boobins66]

konnan was in the wwe in 1992-1993 under the gimmick max moon.

[@Mr.Majestic77]

What about ROH??? ROH has a World Title!!

[@zomb60]

Farseer you sound like a john cena fan

[@zedus456]

@anvilofcrom yep yer correct I.m Mexican and even I dont get that catch phrase

[@joepesci2.030]

konnan is a great wrestler when I was a kid I went nuts for him but he takes credit for the mexican wrestlers and running tna and a bunch of crazy shit he's full of himself

[@reye5034]

he never said he ran TNA, listen....

[@harry-thepug76]

Here we go yet again!!!! Konan playing the "victim" does he not get tired & bored of it all? Because I am! I thought Brett hart & Jim Cornette were non-stop moaners & complainers! Konan takes the piss!!

[@rikimaru700]

CZW? You mean that show that Botchamania always makes fun of for being the shittest promotion ever?

[@OscarRodriguez-jx6fl]

CZW is disgusting and should be ashamed to call themselves a pro wrestling promotion if you ask me? just a bunch of sociopathic shitheads hitting each other with light tubes and fighting to the death. I remember seeing a video where some guy got hit with a weed whacker.

[@chrisandersen930]

[@2beanburritos]

[@crews-lj3ph]

Chris u high

[@TheWarDog11]

+GreatIntellect13 Really? man you have to be one of the most ignorant fools out there.

[@GreatIntellect13]

+TheWarDog11 no, you just lack the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes. It's ok, though. If you're white you can continue on living in your little perfect bubble. I know I do.

[@TheWarDog11]

GreatIntellect13 LMBO. No dumbass, I'm Spanish, but since you are trying to be racist by accusing someone of being white, how about you put yourself in therapy and get a clue you moron

[@DMKiddeaux]

@anvilofcrom Arriba La Raza

[@1983jcheat]

I believe there was racism in TNA but K dogg went back. So I guess everything is ok now? That lawsuit settlement must of ran out!

[@timothythornton6624]

Why was there racism in TNA?

[@Coco-xw3wp]

​@@timothythornton6624Shouldn't we be asking you that question? Why are pale faced people racist? Maybe bc your the devils children?? 😮

[@cstring420]

I always hated Konnan. He's one of the few latino american wrestlers I don't like. He was always so annoying.
