razazteca 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 The main reason I watch Impact was for the weekly Shocker match but this week Konnan surpised me with his new gimmick....throwing shoes at his opponet. When Konnan threw his shoe at the Outlaw he got a big reaction from the audience. Cheers and laughter was not the only reaction from crowd.....they actually held up one of their shoes in the air as if RUN DMC was performing the classic My ADDIAS song in concert! Maybe now Konnan can stop pretending to be thug and move into to a Al Bundy type of character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 It was a blown spot in a match a few years back that he turned into a regular spot. I believe it was during the 3LK vs. Diamond/Swinger/Disco feud that he lost his shoe and simply picked it up and tossed it at Disco, who sold it huge.

Styles 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Actually the Observer reported he came up with it recently in Puerto Rico because he knows those crowds like comedy spots like that, and it got over huge so Killings and BJ were begging him for weeks to try it in Orlando, but he didn't think it'd get over in the US, but finally he gave in and tried it and it got over huge and the next week the fans were chanting "shoe" at him and holding up their shoes.

In an old Figure Four Weekly, it discusses the spot in a match review. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AWESOME IDEA Since John Cenas has been doing "Grandmaster B" for awhile and all I so would love if christian called Cena Grandmaster B one time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
