Konnan calls out two AEW stars for being "very unprofessional," says he's not going to "f**king forget"
Konnan has had a lot of praise for some stars on the AEW roster. However, when asked about Bandido and Rush, the veteran called both stars "unprofessional" and recalled his history with the duo.
Bandido has been praised by many in the industry over the years for being a remarkable performer, and in 2022 the star finally signed with AEW. Similarly, Rush is well-respected within the business and coincidentally was signed in the same year as his long-time rival.
During a recent episode of Keepin' It 100, the WCW veteran recalled why he found it challenging to work with Bandido.
"He [Bandido] had the very bad habit, which I find very unprofessional, he doesn't answer the f***g phone. A lot of these wrestlers, they got to the United States, get a big head, and they start charging with their ego. What happens in AEW if they cut you or you get injured? I'm not going to f***ing forget," said Konnan.

Konnan continued, mentioning why Rush ultimately had issues with him and why he thinks both stars have changed.
"He [Rush] was mad because we weren't using him enough. Plus Rush, bro, he charges a lot of f**king money. I thought what he did was very unprofessional. But, you know, they get power, they're in the United States, and they abuse their f***ing power and they do s**t like this." (H/T: WrestlingINC)

Both AEW stars have apparently burnt bridges with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide
Much of Konnan's gripes with both stars are seemingly in light of both parting ways with AAA. The WCW veteran is a part of the booking team of the Mexican promotion.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Bandido notably wrestled his final match for AAA earlier this month, meaning the company lost one of its most popular stars. On the other hand, Rush quit the organization despite having a major tag team match with L.A. Park at TripleMania XXXI: Tijuana. The star's contract with All Elite Wrestling is also expiring soon, leading some to believe that he might be thinking of a jump to WWE.

AEW President Tony Khan has yet to comment on the situation. Fans would be hoping the two stars settle their differences with AAA and possibly return to their old stomping grounds in the future.
