Konnan says WWE is late on representation of minorities

In an interview with Forbes, Konnan explained that WWE was not listening to its fans and was convinced that the company was late on representing minorities. Here are the highlights:

Ignoring what fans want to see : "Many people in [WWE] think that fans do not know what's good for them. I always remember thinking, "What do you mean by that they do not know what is good for them? They will not pay to see something that they do not like. "They know what they want to see, and they often fight against fans, like," That's what they want. "To myself." No, they tell you what they're up to. They want them! "They ignored them for a long time.Look at all the reaction they had when they did not want to push CM Punk.Watch all the negative reactions they experienced when they they did not want to push Daniel Bryan, so now what people are doing is getting them to WWE, so when people found out that WWE wanted to push Roman Reigns, they had turned their backs.They said, "You did not give us what we wanted, so we will boo him every time he goes out", even if he was not a bad wrestler "

McMahon :" Somewhere along the way, [WWE] was lost. I work in Mexico and I help create a live show, but it's like a two-hour show and that's it. They do a three-hour show on Monday, then a two-hour show and all the original content of WWE Ride Along and Table for 3. SmackDown is usually better because it only lasts two hours and their scenario is better. Quite often at the end of the day, that's what Vince McMahon wants, and it should not be what he wants, but what fans want. "just did a lot of things with the minorities that were very humiliating and stereotyped and they were always late." For a while, you've seen the Latinos portrayed one way or another, especially in the WWE , where lawnmowers or some other case came in. They sort of reversed the scenario when Alberto Del Rio came out, he was sort of an aristocrat, you never really see a Latino in that position. they are more inclusive than before, in the whole struggle, but they still have a long way to go.
