Kevin Sullivan Believes Konnan Deserves More Credit For WCW’s Success

World Championship Wrestling would not reach the heights that it did if not for the work of Konnan, according to Kevin Sullivan.

During the latest “Tuesday with The Taskmaster,” Sullivan spoke about Konnan who played a pivotal role as part of the LWO in WCW. He said,

“I don’t think he gets a lot of credit for how smart he is. He was very instrumental in making WCW work. I said, ‘Let’s make a cruiserweight’ and I asked Konnan, and Konnan, the first guy he brings me is Rey Mysterio. Rey is one of the greatest performers of all time and he brought Juvi, LA Parka, a bunch of them, and they actually transformed the business.”

WCW’s cruiserweight matches would be one of the most popular aspects of programming and would overshadow the WWF’s light-heavyweight division.

Konnan would appear for WWE earlier this year to induct Mysterio into the WWE Hall of Fame.
