Mexican wrestling icon, Konnan, has recently expressed his opinion on a reigning AEW champion who he believes lacks the charisma of a true star.
During the latest episode of his “K100” podcast, Konnan discussed the most recent AEW Dynamite episode and shared his thoughts on Konosuke Takeshita. His exact words were,
“Takeshita won. I guess they’re attempting to elevate him, but he doesn’t really exude the persona of a star.”
Takeshita became part of AEW in the year 2022 and belongs to the Don Callis Family. His crowning achievement was securing the AEW International Title the previous month at Wrestle Dream.
In addition to his views on Takeshita, Konnan voiced some tough criticism about AEW’s production values. He opined the show had a “low-budget” appearance, and argued that it doesn’t match up to the standards of TNA on television.
According to Konnan, AEW needs to focus on enhancing its lighting and stage setup in order to resemble a more upscale independent promotion.
