A lot of that talent is now in Lucha Underground. Right now I\u2019m working a lot with Rey [Mysterio] on a lot of outside projects. We are working on helping run probably the biggest independent promotion in Tijuana, Mexico on the border of San Diego, California it\u2019s called the Crash promotions. We basically give people the matches that the other two promotions in Mexico [AAA &amp; CMLL] won\u2019t give them due to politics and antiquated and narrow-minded thought processes. One of the biggest problems we have in our industry is that most promotions, the majority of them are run by people who don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing. Hopefully we will be getting a TV deal next year and I\u2019ll be able to do what I do best. We\u2019re still negotiating. In Mexico it\u2019s gotten really dirty between the companies and the way the bigger companies try to stop any smaller companies from making any in-roads. It\u2019s almost like a little mafia, even if they don\u2019t work together they make it that nobody else could really shine. I don\u2019t want to give out any dates or ideas or concepts because they\u2019ll find out and try to stop it. That\u2019s really how the Mexican panorama is right now. Talents that right now aren\u2019t in those promotions \u2013 probably Rey F\u00e9nix, Sexy Star who is now wrestling as Dulce Garcia, probably Willie Mack, Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio \u2013 people like that are people that we are hoping to work with it. We are still in embryotic formations of this, none of this is official. This is all extra-ficial stuff we are working on now but everything is looking really good.<\/p>\n<p><b>Criticism of AAA and his departure from the company:<\/b> They used three tools to control the talents \u2013 intimidation, fears, and lies. There came a point where I felt like an accomplice. I was never pressured because they know what type of person I am but it was always \u2018why are you taking the side of the boys, aren\u2019t you the office?\u2019. No I\u2019m not the office; I don\u2019t hold stock in this company. I\u2019m a wrestler, I know what they\u2019re going through. Half the roster to this day lives paycheck to paycheck and they do it on purpose. They don\u2019t want people leaving. They don\u2019t want anyone having too much money, too much power. We were getting into problems because of the way they were taking advantage of the wrestlers. I did not like the way they were treating people and how they were treating me, so I quit.<\/p>\n<p><b>On racism in the industry:<\/b> I would say compared to when I was in the business yes it has diminished. We are a reflection of society. In society it\u2019s still there but it\u2019s not as bad as it used to be. Look at all the African Americans that are in the business today as compared to before. The New Day, Apollo Crews, the Latinos, which they haven\u2019t done a good job since they lost Mysterio and Del Rio they haven\u2019t been able to make a Latino superstar. However they\u2019re finally opening their eyes. It has gotten better but it still has a way to go. When in 2040 the majority-minority in this country will be Hispanics, where neither TNA or WWE has any Latinos in positions of power be it an agent, producer, a writer, or executive then they\u2019re still behind the curve. I\u2019d put an African American in that same boat. They\u2019re doing a good job, going global and they\u2019re finally smartening in that sense. Now we need to see us in positions of power. In the past you\u2019re been critical about women in the business, what do you think about the current women\u2019s wrestling revolution: I was critical because it sucked. I don\u2019t hate, I state. When you had Oksana and all these other girls who were just models. They were training in front of the TV. They weren\u2019t in developmental long enough and their matches were brutal and it was embarrassing to watch. Now they have this new crop of girls who are killing it. Charlotte is incredible and Sasha [Banks] and Natalya who I don\u2019t know why they aren\u2019t doing more with her. You still have these talents like the Bellas who can\u2019t go, but at least they\u2019re watchable now.<\/p>\n<p><b>On TNA:<\/b> They\u2019re going to keep crawling along but it does them no favors to be on a station like PopTV. The problem starts at the top \u2013 Dixie Carter. Incompetent. People say \u2018oh she\u2019s nice\u2019. She could be nice all she wants but she doesn\u2019t know what she\u2019s doing. It\u2019s going to continue to suffer under her. They\u2019ve always had great talent but talent isn\u2019t enough to put the. That\u2019s a problem \u2013 perception and branding. If they get the right people and the right branding, they can still turn that place around. I really believe that they have to get on a better network. They screwed themselves over with Spike. That\u2019s what happens when you have the wrong people running the company.<\/p>\n<p><b>On WWE Network:<\/b> That\u2019s why Vince destroys everybody. His business acumen is second to none. He\u2019s a 70-year old billionaire how in touch could he be, but he is smart enough to work with the right people. I applaud Hunter [HHH], the job he\u2019s done in NXT and with the cruiserweights. He\u2019s smart enough to do that. The Network has been great and they\u2019re starting to reach some dividends.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3747052828\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main Event Radio with Konnan&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1773,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,7],"tags":[399,632,1301,66,101],"class_list":["post-16100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview_highlights","category-misc_news","tag-aaa","tag-konnan","tag-the-clash","tag-tna","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
