Days after we congratulated Rey Mysterio for becoming the first member of the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame Class, we now know who is inductor will be.
Konnan, a long-time friend of Mysterio, will have the honors. The two worked together in AAA and WCW, with Konnan being instrumental in advocating Mysterio who dealt with size issues early in his career. This will be the first appearance for Konnan on WWE programming in nearly 30 years, as he last performed as the original Max Moon.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com cannot think of a better person than Konnan (who is also the godfather of Dominik Mysterio) to induct Rey Mysterio Jr.
We can’t wait to watch the ceremony take place on March 31, just before Wrestlemania.
Should Konnan ever get into the WWE Hall of Fame, it certainly won’t be for his handful of matches as the original Max Moon. The Cuban born wrestler achieved his first level of super stardom in the AAA promotion of Mexico where he excelled as both a heel and a face. He would later join WCW and after a few years there became one of the more popular stars there. Konnan has always been outspoken and though his has caused him issues in the past, he often raises questions that should be brought to the forefront. It will be interesting to see if there will ever be a groundswell of Hall support for one of the most over Latin wrestlers of all time.
