I don't know what the truth is but you can't have this constant smoke around someone without some fire. Konnan always has an alternative spin on every thing anyone has ever said bad about him, and frankly, it's a lot! I do get the impression he's more of a soyboy than he wants people to think he is. Really only listen to the show for Discos take on things.

[@mattstone3766]

For me it’s the opposite which makes it annoying because I click on a video titled “Konnan on…” and a majority of the video is DI stammering and studdering. I value his input too but it’s a chore to get through when I want to hear what Konnan has to say.

Lucha Underground was really good until they killed Dario Cueto and he became his "father" played by the same guy. Seasons 2 and 3 were the best and season 4 was pretty bad. I could have done without the comic book vignettes and the love hate relationship between Pentagon and Vampiro. The booking of the wrestlers was very good in the sense that they would accentuate the positives and downplay the negatives. Brian Cage was booked very well in LU but booked like shit in AEW. Also, Matt Striker is a much BETTER commentator than that idiot who looks like a sock puppet and a total mark for himself.
