“The vignettes aren’t doing s***” - Konnan is not a fan of ongoing AEW storyline
WCW veteran Konnan has aired his frustrations over the recent AEW storyline involving Andrade El Idolo, Matt Hardy and the Hardy Family Office.
The Hardy Family Office was formed in 2021 when Matt Hardy reverted back to the "Big Money Matt" persona he had previously used in IMPACT Wrestling. He began "signing" wrestlers to his family office and serving as their manager.
Teams like The Hybrid 2, The Butcher and The Blade and Private Party have all been a part of the stable. The stable that has sparked the interest of Andrade El Idolo who has invested money into the office for financial gain.
While on paper it may sound like an interesting concept, Konnan is not impressed with the story. On his Keepin' It 100 podcast, the WCW veteran stated that the stable simply isn't going anywhere.
"F*** we don’t know what to do with Matt Hardy, okay let’s give him a clique like we give everybody else, and we don’t really know what to do with Andrade. Okay so we don’t know what to do with all these people so let’s put them together somehow we will just shoot a bunch of vignettes until we can find out what we can do with them because it’s like there’s nothing really happening," said Konnan.
In recent weeks, the HFO has been getting a modest amount of TV time. Given AEW's loaded roster, any amount of TV time is valuable, but Konnan believes that the backstage vignettes the stable appears in are doing more harm than good.
"It’s almost like they don’t have anything for them, so they just have them in these vignette so they don’t complain,'" Konnan continued. "'Oh hey at least we got you these vignettes boom boom boom boom boom,' but the vignettes aren’t doing s*** for anybody involved, bro."
Konnan will see a member of the Hardy Family Office in action on Dynamite this Wednesday
A member of the Hardy Family Office will be in action this week on the February 9th edition of AEW Dynamite in a very high-profile match.
Isiah Kassidy will face a mystery opponent in a qualifying bout for the "Face of the Revolution" ladder match at the Revolution pay-per-view on March 6th. This comes a week after losing a match against Sammy Guevara for the AEW TNT Championship.
Rumors are rampant online as to who the mystery man could be, with AEW President Tony Khan promising that the newcomer will slam the "Forbidden Door" shut behind them.
