Well, Konan being a shitter isn't a surprise, and I say that with reverence to some of his career, he's an old goober that's stuck in some self-grandiose honor for himself and the company's history that's not a gimmick when he talks on the English broadcast for Triplemania. He's just too old and grumpy and too tied to glorifying what was. Like a shittier JR except JR wouldn't try to put himself over as someone who could fight guests in the audience.

There's no "lie" per say about Vikingo, he's undeserving and unlovable and forced to a position he can't handle because everyone sees what it is and why he is there: It's the closest thing to a poster boy they have unless they want to put a clown or a masked guy as a face of the company so that's why he's put there, when the company is handed over to people who believe that you need an actual face to front the company at least initially.
They chose a goblin faced motherfucker whose gimmick is not even being a Mexican. If you got a mexican guy, who has something like a mariachi gimmick, that doesn't wear a mask and is a face, and can speak passable English, fucking call AAA and TKO right now, because you'll get a rocket strapped on you to replace this mofo.

As for childrens show, fucking a, that's what you want if you want to grow, but of course, even kids can see through if you present them shit like it has no class or prestige, you just book with reckless abandon just to draw some kids in.
