On the latest edition of his “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Konnan discussed the topic of thigh-slapping in pro wrestling and wrestlers visibly using it on television for kicking maneuvers.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how thigh slapping hurts the TV product: “I think it hurts the quality of the product, and it just hurts matches when you see it so many times. It’s something I gotta get rid of in AAA because it’s like a f***ing virus because they all got it from the indies.”
On how there are a lot of wrestlers there shouldn’t be on TV right now: “You don’t see as many good matches as you used to before. There’s so many high-quality matches compared to before… But there’s a lot of wrestlers that shouldn’t be on primetime, and you didn’t see that before, but there wasn’t 15 f***ing hours of wrestling to fill.”
