10 Dumbest Reasons Wrestlers HATE Each Other For Real
3. Curtis Axel & Konnan
A back-and-forth that started in 2013 came all the way back around in 2022 when Konnan doubled down on some longstanding critique of former WWE Superstar Curtis Axel.
As 'K-Dogg' put it (h/t Wrestling Inc.) on the K100 podcast he does with some other guy;
"I had said that he had no charisma, which he didn't, and I didn't see much of his dad's talent in him, which I didn't...I wasn't wrong because where is he right now?"
Axel was understandably aggrieved at the time, noting that Konnan "washed-up dude [his] father hated" but the former WCW star told a sweet tale about how the two had worked so closely together during the fondly-remembered Filthy Animals/West Texas Rednecks angle that he doubted the story. He added;
"I'm not saying that Curt never said that, but to tell you the truth, Curt treated me too good to have said that...We had a great relationship, and I remember that when we were doing the 'Rap Is Crap' thing, he was really down in the dumps. We had some real good conversations and he broke out of the funk. I loved Curt...he was always a fun guy to be around."
Axel supposedly move to drop the dispute, but Konnan apparently rejected the gesture. It's a shame this Curt Hennig-related beef couldn't have a Perfect outcome.
