Konnan On CM Punk’s “Outsiders” Claim At AEW All Out 2021 Media Scrum, & More

Speaking on a recent episode of his podcast, Keepin’ It 100, Konnan disputed CM Punk’s comments at the AEW All Out 2021 press conference, where he compared the debuts of Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole that night coupled with his own a few weeks prior to The Outsiders – Kevin Nash and Scott Hall – arriving in WCW in 1996.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On CM Punk’s “The Outsiders” comment at AEW All Out 2021 press conference: “He was obviously wrong there. I wouldn’t say they [Punk and Danielson] are a flop because whatever success they’ve had for a company, some of it is definitely attributable to those two, especially this guy [Punk] has proven to be a draw. I think he’s the guy that got them their first million-dollar gate, was Punk.”

On Bryan Danielson utility and attributes: “To me, Danielson is like — remember when Bret Hart wanted to be an agent — having Danielson in the dressing room brings up everything because he’s knowledgeable and respected by his generation and this generation. So, they’re both win-wins, but you know, they spoke too soon about the Hall, Nash, and Hogan comparison.”

Notably, Punk had also stated that while his comments at the time may seem rather preposterous, he truly believed that its true impact would start being visible in five years’ time.
