On Kevin Nash: "He's just a bitch - that's all there is to it..." On Jeff Jarrett: "Even though he's kind of a smart business man as far as booking, he's a dumbass..."

He wasn't paid enough? For s sake all he did was talk on a damn microphone & stand at ringside. He's not a "big star" or a guy TNA can't live without. Hell, I've enjoyed L.A.X more without him with them.

Hell, I've enjoyed L.A.X more without him with them. LAX was a much hotter act with him. Whether it had anything to do with Konnan or not, that's the fact. A tiny bit more than a year ago, they were having big matches against Styles & Daniels. Now, they are losing within five minutes to Hoyt & Rave, who have been a jobbe tag team thus far. I have no idea why LAX is being held back like this at the moment. Both have great potential as singles stars as well.

I never said they are better without him - I personally enjoy them more without him.

I like LAX better without Konnan. I've lost all respect for the man when he goes on national tv and puts a company down. he wanted treated like a top dog when he wasnt. He's a spoiled, bitter ex wrestler as i see it

Konnan on Sting:
"He doesn't do fanfest"
Oh.. really? I could've sworn he did the Lockdown 2007 FanFest go figure..

Maybe more props to a companyn that acually got his sorry ass on tv. It's a total bash on TNA. Konan admitted his hip was injured before he came to TNA. what the hell does he want? Aside from that, he does make some decent and eye opening points

I've lost all respect for Konnan. He just needs to look at his old, crippled body in the mirror and shut the up.

Aside from that, he does make some decent and eye opening points Ok well, the first thing you need to realize is that just because you are not a Konnan fan, that does not change the fact that he is a star. Granted, he is more over in Mexico, but he's still a big name here in the states as well. He's bashing TNA because someone ing needs to. Someone that they might actually listen to. They have been dropping the ball for years now, and Dixie Carter obviously isn't listening to us. And as far as his hip was concerned, he said that TNA offered him the money. According to him, they promised to help him out without him asking them to. That's why he has the right to bitch about it.

Konnan has a smart mind for the business. People might see it as endless complaining, but he's hardly the only one in TNA complaining. Heck wrestlers in TNA and WWE seem to do a lot of complaining these days. If it brings about positive change for the performers we should support that. The story of angry workers being cheated by corporate guys in suits is the story of America these days. That's how a lot people get rich, by cheating other people.
