– During a recent edition of his K100 podcast, Konnan discussed former WWE Superstar Curtis Axel, aka Joe Hennig, the son of late WWE Hall of Famer Curt “Mr. Perfect” Hennig. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Konnan on Curtis Axel: “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?”

On remarks Axel made on Twitter that Konnan was a “washed up dude” that his father hated: “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.”

As previously reported, Curtis Axel recently had a stint in WWE as a producer, but he stopped being used in July.
