A week after his match at WWE Worlds Collide, Chad Gable earned a significant compliment from industry veteran Konnan, who compared his performance against El Hijo del Vikingo to the standard set by Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Rey Mysterio.
Gable was made aware of the remarks during an appearance on the “Raw Recap” show with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant. He expressed his high regard for Konnan’s standing in the wrestling business before reacting to the praise.
“I’m a little taken back by that ’cause I hadn’t heard that yet,” Gable stated. “Konnan, obviously, going back however many years, 30 years, is one of my favorites. The way that he stayed involved with the industry, and I think the amount of respect he’s garnered just for opinions, the way he thinks about what we do, is on kind of this next level tier that you kinda come to respect. So, for him to say that, first of all, what a compliment.”
Although Gable was unsuccessful in his bid to win the AAA Mega Championship during the event, the praise from Konnan was not the only positive feedback he received. Gable noted that he also garnered a laudatory reception from his peers backstage, stating that he holds the opinions of his colleagues in the highest regard.
