Konnan has discussed his recent appearance for AEW, calling his visit one of the greatest experiences of his career.
On the June 26 episode of AEW Dynamite, Konnan came face to face with Tully Blanchard, before receiving a spike piledriver from FTR. The wrestling veteran has stated that he wishes he grew up in the type of environment he experienced backstage at the taping.
Konnan discussed his AEW appearance on an episode of Keeping It 100 with Konnan. Recalling the positive atmosphere, Konnan said:
“It was one of the greatest experiences of my career because everybody’s very, very happy, everybody’s very helpful, everybody’s very professional. There’s this one room in there, that’s with Don Callis, Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks. They’re all in there, they’re playing basketball games, they’re watching the NBA. It’s a very fun atmosphere. And I thought to myself ‘wow, I wish I would have grown up in this type of atmosphere.’
“And everybody is happy. I saw Vickie, I hadn’t seen her in fifteen years. I hadn’t seen Jerry Lynn in fifteen years, I hadn’t seen Big Show in like fifteen years. Legit, they’re very happy. It’s a really good, I’m not trying to get a job or anything like that, it’s a real cool vibe. Even after the show, they have food for everybody in this big conference room. You can take food to your room, you can eat it right there and then they have this other little lounge where everyone is just listening to music.”
The former WCW star has admitted that his segment almost didn’t happen due to travel issues. Konnan arrived at Daily’s Place just 45 minutes before he was due to appear in the ring.
Konnan also revealed that Chris Jericho produced his segment with Tully Blanchard and FTR.
