Konnan Talks WWE Not Listening To The Fans, Being Behind The Curve With Representing Minorities
Konnan talked with Alfred Konuwa of Forbes about WWE behind the curve when it comes to representing minorities and how they haven't done a good enough job of listening to the fans over the years.
In regards to WWE not listening to the fans, Konnan thinks it ultimately will hurt the company to ignore what the paying customer wants to see.
"A lot of people in [WWE] think fans don't know what's good for them," Konnan said. "I always remember thinking 'What do you mean they don't know what's good for them? They're not going to pay money to see something they don't like.' They know what they want to see, and a lot of times they would fight the fans, like 'This is what they want.' And I would think to myself 'No, they're telling you what they want!' They ignored them for a long time.
"Look at all the backlash they got when they wouldn't push CM Punk. Look at all the backlash they got when they wouldn't push Daniel Bryan. So, now what the people are doing is they're taking it out on WWE. So when people found out WWE wanted to push Roman Reigns, people turned their backs on him. They were like, 'You didn't give us what we wanted, then we're going to boo him every time he comes out,' even though he wasn't a bad wrestler."
With multiple weekly shows and a WWE Network that is packed with content, Konnan believed maybe it's just too much, or maybe it's just too much of what Vince McMahon wants.
"Somewhere along the way, [WWE] lost their way," Konnan continued. "I work in Mexico and I help put together a live show, but it's like a two-hour show and that's it. They're doing a three-hour show on Monday, and then a two-hour show and all that original content in WWE Ride Along and Table for 3. SmackDown is usually better because it's only two hours and their storylines are better. A lot of times, at the end of the day, it's what Vince McMahon wants, and it shouldn't be what he wants, it should be what the fans want."
When asked about WWE's ability to represent minorities, Konnan felt while they've improved as of late, WWE has always been more reactive instead of proactive.
[WWE] just did a lot of stuff with minorities that was very demeaning and stereotypical and they've always been behind the curve at that," Konnan said. "For a while, you just saw Latinos portrayed in one way, especially in WWE where there were coming out in lawnmowers or whatever the case may be. They kind of flipped the script when Alberto Del Rio came out, he was kind of an aristocrat. You never really see a Latino in that position. I think they're more inclusive than before, wrestling as a whole, but they've still got a long way to go."
JERICHO RETURNING TO NEW JAPAN, GREAT MUTA TO MAKE ECW ARENA DEBUT NEXT MONTH
It was announced today that Chris Jericho will be returning to New Japan Pro Wrestling on 6/9 to challenge IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada at Dominion 2019: https://youtu.be/XZ1R07I8INU
Impact Wrestling announced last night that Japanese legend The Great Muta will be in action at their 6/8 live, streaming special "A Night You Can’t Mist", which will stream from Philadelphia, PA's 2300 Arena. It will be the first ever appearance of Muta in the legendary venue
.
The event will be done in conjunction with Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore, which had already been announced as running in Philly that evening with Dreamer, Rich Swann, Little Guido, Teddy Hart, Joey Ryan, Billy Gunn and more already advertised.
The show will air on Impact Plus, formerly the GWN App.
IMPACT WRESTLING NEWS
Last night's TV taping in Philadelphia drew in the area of 200-250 fans. (AAAHAHAHAHAHA!! LMAO! AALL that so called 'big name talent' and the best they can draw in the former ECW Arena is 200-250 fans? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! Their TV Taping with RVD vs Dreamer could only draw that many people? LMAO! This is funny as hell. Now before some wannabe smart ass comes out and says "Think you can do better"? I locally promoted a few shows before for not one but TWO different indy groups in New England and I DID do better. Two old timers and a clown drew wwaayy better so obviously Impact Wrestling needs to go to promoter school if that's the best they can do in a city like Philadelphia.
There's some unhappiness on the NWA's part on how things went down with Willie Mack. After news of his signing with Impact was announced, NWA Champion Nick Aldis took to Twitter to write, "If you ever wanted to see the evidence of scheming carny wrestling BS, look no further. Sorry Willie. They took advantage of you." Mack had been the NWA National Champion and was expected to work full-time with the NWA going forward. Going into the Crockett Cup, the promotion received a cease and desist letter from Lucha Underground informing them that they did not have the right to book Mack as contractually he was their talent. They were able to come to terms with Mack dropping the belt to Colt Cabana, which had been the plan all along. But, once Mack was announced as signing, the implication is that AAA, via Lucha Underground, insured Mack was delivered to Impact.
.Last night's episode of Impact is available on Impact Plus for international viewers. But much like its predecessor Global Wrestling Network, it is geo-locked in certain countries which include the United States, Brazil, Canada and Mexico. If the old rules from Global Wrestling Network are still in effect that would mean that episodes would be replayed on Twitch on Monday and be available on the streaming service by Tuesday for US viewers.
Former WWE star Matt Striker and CZW owner DJ Hyde were at last night's taping
.
Jim Mitchell was brought in for more "Undead realm" vignettes.
Impact will have a live Twitch.TV special on 6/9 titled Digital Destruction in St. James, Long Island, piggybacking off what had been announced as a House of Hardcore date in the venue.
They will also hold a live, streaming special on Impact Plus on 7/5 titled Bash at the Brewery from The Freetail Brewery in San Antonio, TX.
Impact will broadcast Code Red tomorrow in conjunction with House of Glory in Jamaica, NY on Impact Plus, featuring:
*Johnny Impact & Taya Valkyrie vs. Eddie Edwards & Alisha Edwards
*Michael Elgin vs. Willie Mack
*LAX (Santana & Ortiz) vs. oVe (Dave & Jake Crist) vs. New York Wrecking Krew (Smoothe Blackmon & Chris Seaton)
*Rich Swann vs. Ace Austin vs. Trey vs. Smiley vs. Evander James vs. Mantequilla – HOG Crown Jewel Championship
*The Rascalz (Dez & Wentz) vs. The North (Ethan Page & Josh Alexander)
*Tessa Blanchard & Violette vs. Scarlett Bordeaux & Sonya Strong
*Moose vs. Ken Broadway
*Tommy Dreamer vs. Sami Callihan.
I would expect Rob Van Dam and Sabu on the show as well.
This Friday's Impact Wrestling episode on Pursuit and Twitch.TV will feature:
*Rob Van Dam vs. Ethan Page.
*OVE vs. Tommy Dreamer & X-Division Champion Rich Swann & Willie Mack & Fallah Bah.
*Impact Knockouts Champion Taya Valkyrie vs. Madison Rayne.
*Impaxt Tag Team Champions LAX vs. Moose & Josh Alexander.
