Fanboy Wrampage: Miro vs. Konnan For Konosuke Takeshita's Honor

Miro took issue with Konnan's comments about Konosuke Takeshita and the two settled it not in the ring but the next best place: on Twitter.


Wrestling legend Konnan found himself the subject of internet ire this week after keeping it a little too 100 on his podcast when discussing Konosuke Takeshita's recent tribute to Eddie Guererro during a match against MJF on AEW Dynamite last week, and he ended up in the crosshairs of The Redeemer himself, Miro. But we'll get to that in a bit. First, how it all started: Konnan complained about Takeshita homaging Guerrero's signature frog splash, saying, "you're not Mexican dude, I don't care, stick to your nationality." The comments were propagated in the wrestling news media, where they were not well-received.

Konnan soon took to Twitter to respond to every single person complaining about the comments, insisting the comments were a joke taken out of context to fuel clickbait wrestling news articles (an accusation perhaps even more offensive than the original comments against the stellar reputation of the wrestling news community).

But Konnan had an even longer exchange with AEW star Miro, who blasted Konnan in defense of Takeshita, pointing out that the 59-year-old Konnan couldn't hang in the ring with him.

In any case, Konnan responded and the two sparred back and forth for a while…

…until Miro offered an olive branch and Konnan accepted.

And so this latest saga of wrestling Twitter beef comes to a close, but it won't be long before the drama begins anew. Stay tuned!

Fanboy Rampage was a blog by Graeme "Graham" McMillan dedicated to the funniest, most ludicrous, and most inappropriate comic book back-and-forths online. McMillan has moved on now, becoming a proper journalist for the likes of sexy Dora the Explorer advocacy website The Hollywood Reporter, but he gave permission to Bleeding Cool to revive his great creation. And then we added a W, because wrestling.

A prophecy claims that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Unfortunately, nobody can tell when the comics industry has reached its "darkest days" because it somehow keeps finding new lows to sink to. No matter! Jude Terror stands vigilant, bringing the snarkiest of comic book and pro wrestling clickbait to the undeserving readers of Bleeding Cool.
