* NotSoSimilar: When asked why he thought Wrestling/LuchaUnderground would be successful when Victor Quiñones's efforts to bring lucha libre to the continental United States were not, Konnan argued that Quiñones was trying to pass off Puerto Rican wrestling as Mexican Lucha Libre, even though they are two different things and that he and the others working on Lucha Underground actually understand Lucha.

to:

* RealSongThemeTune:PrejudicedForPecs: A trope he tends to avoid as a booker, which lead to a little culture clash in WCW with the "vanilla midget" mentality. Konnan freely admitted to not being very big for a wrestler and that Eddie Guerrero was even smaller but couldn't see what that mattered since Eddie was so popular.
