'A fascinating peek into the mind of this guy,' Konnan comments on Mr. McMahon Netflix docuseries
Konnan recently shared his thoughts about the Mr. McMahon docuseries that was recently released on Netflix. He has been critical of the AEW President Tony Khan and the Jacksonville-based promotion on his podcast previously too.
Konnan has been working as a part of AAA's creative team for some time now. The promotion has been associated with AEW for many years, with stars from each promotion featuring on the other's shows. He also appeared in AEW during 2021's Dynamite where he supported 'Proud and Powerful.'
Netflix's recent docuseries Mr. McMahon has turned out to be quite controversial as it covered almost every scandal in WWE from the past, with Vince McMahon answering them quite candidly. Recently, Konnan shared a major aspect of the limited series and compared the difference between AEW and WWE.
The former WCW World Television Champion claimed that the legends in the docuseries fondly remembered memorable moments of WWE rather than memorable matches. Many felt he was subtly taking a dig at AEW as the promotion constantly focuses on contests rather than stories.
"If you look at the Vince documentary, which is a fascinating peek into the mind of this guy, one of the main things that you get out of this, and he speaks about it ad nauseam and so do all the people, and the thing is what matters are moments, people don't remember the great wrestling matches. They'll remember moments like Mick Foley coming off the top of the cage and characters, that's what we remember," he said. (05:39 - 06:09)
