Konnan's speech, the sex bow, Rey's weird completely non-self-aware glimpse into how Konnan could have completely f***ed the dude's entire life up, HOOTY HOO, it was fantastic.

JR: "Hey Rey. Wanna do some business?"
Rey: "Yeah but not until you finish that Invasion bullshit"

If he isn't already, sign Konnan to a legends contract. I think just from the speech he gave he deserves it.

The only experience I have of Konan was LAX in TNA. That guy can talk.

I still can't believe that Rey actually shouted Hoody Hoo during his speech  |

Konnan was AMAZING. That was one of the best induction speeches ever.

One of the biggest stars to come out of mexico snd hrlped introduce us fans to Lucy’s liber. Without him Rey wouldn’t be where he is. |

Konnan deserves so much praise for that speech. Absolutely perfect in every way.

I actually almost did a spit-take when Konnan did his joke about being adopted to replace Dominik. |

One of the best of the induction speeches ever. And he didn't even need to ask anyone to toss his salad or peel his potatoes

Say what you want about Konnan.... but that was damn near, if not THE, perfect induction speech. Rey's speech was also excellent!

Passionate, profound, wise and funny. Incredible induction. The “kids will think they’re him” line stood out to me cuz, yup, I was wrestling around with my dad when I was a munchkin, thinking “if rey can do it, I can do it”. No lie detected when he put over Rey kickstarting the Lucha libre revolution, at least in modern times, and for America.

I think Konnan is the gold standard of inductions now and Rey's in the top tier of acceptance speeches with Molly, Hansen, DDP.

It is easy to forget how influential Konnan was with getting most, if not all, of the luchadors and wrestlers who made names in Mexico hired. Konnan was also referred to as the "Hulk Hogan of Mexico." It was an absolutely great induction speech by someone who has a genuine love for his friend and the feeling is obviously mutual. I hope Konnan gets inducted/legends contract/NXT coaching.
I wasn't surprised that Dean Malenko got name dropped a couple of times but I was surprised that they both mentioned he was in attendance. I'm going to guess that Tony Kahn is cool with his people going to these events as long as they aren't shown on camera and I don't know if Dean would want to be on camera in his condition, which sucks obviously. If you haven't watched Malenko and Rey's matches from WCW lately, they hold up and I'm not just saying that since I'm a Malenko mark.

It's also simpler since, outside of once or twice, Dean hasn't been an onscreen figure in AEW, anyway, but a behind the scenes guy. |
