Konosuke Takeshita Apparently Angers K-Dogg

Is Konnan irate with an AEW Star? Konnan seems unhappy with a recent move by AEW star Konosuke Takeshita. Konosuke wrestled MJF on the 8 February Dynamite and paid tribute to Eddie Guerrero during the bout.

WhatCulture’s Scott Carlson described what happened:

During his AEW World Championship eliminator match against Maxwell Jacob Friedman, Konosuke gave an Eddie-like shimmy on the turnbuckle before attempting a frog splash,

This apparently angered Konnan as he went off of Takeshita during his Keepin’ It 100 podcast:

“Well Takeshita, whatever, he’s got heat with me, and he’s lucky I wasn’t in El Paso. Because when he went up, and he did the Eddie Guerrero thing for the frog splash, you’re not Mexican dude, I don’t care… Stick to your nationality.”

Konnan’s curious comments have baffled some fans and pundits. As Carlson noted in his report Takeshita’s tribute was “an homage that several non-Mexican wrestlers have paid to the late Guerrero throughout the years.”

It sounds like Konnan believes that Takeshita’s homage was more a case of cultural appropriation. However, it’s worth noting that “Latino Heat” has inspired many wrestlers from many different backgrounds.
