Konnan himself has been telling people that he has agreed to a one year contract deal with World Wrestling Entertainment. As previously reported, he was pushing for an announcer position when he was backstage at Judgment Day. As of right now, he is going to play an announcer role. Although the specifics are unknown, it is expected that he would be doing backstage and in-ring interview type angles. He will most likely be a bit more “involved” than other announcers.
He apparently still wants to get in the ring, however does not feel that he is in the best physical shape to do so. As it stands right now, if things go well and Konnan gets back into shape, he could be used as a wrestler sometime down the line.
Konnan is leaving TNA on good terms, and there is no heat between the two sides over his departure to WWE.
I Also found Meltz Reporting this Who is Allways reliable
Konnan, who had Eddy Guerrero and Mysterio go to bat for him, was offered a announcing job, pending his status with TNA. The Konnan thing was pretty controversial in the sense that Guerrero, who has a lot of power these days, was strong for him. There were those who outright said Konnan wasn't a good enough worker to make it, and they couldn't see him as a money player, so the offer was made for an announcing spot and not a wrestling spot.
Hmmmm IMO What's the worst that he could do as a Wrestler? At least let him have a chance, Who's Smackdown got? Put him in match up's against the like's of Noble, Rey etc, Talented people that are'nt doing ****!!!
But an annoucner Position is fine :) I wouldnt have minded seeing him as a Manger or something along that line.
Thoughts?
