Not everyone likes to listen to audio interviews. I can assure each and every one of you out there, this is one you don't want to miss. I can sit here and write a detailed recap of the interview I conducted with Konnan; his first following his Kidney Transplant Surgery. However it would do no justice doing so, as you want to hear Konnan in his own words. His medical issues. His ridiculous treatment by TNA during his kidney crisis. His appearances on TV regarding wrestling and steroids. His blunt comments towards people like Batista, Jeff Jarrett, John Cena, Mister Hypocrite err Kennedy, and others.
Below is a small synopsis of what you will hear in what will without a doubt be the most powerful, gut wrenching, emotional interview anyone has done with anybody online over the last few years.

DONATION INFORMATION
Both myself and Georgiann Makropoulos of Wrestlingfigs.com led the last donation drive that raised close to $16,000 for Konnan's Hip Replacement Surgery. And every penny raised went towards that surgery. Both of us are extremely humbled by everyone's help and generosity with that drive.
We are about to commence a second drive for Konnan. He has incurred thousands upon thousands in medical expenses due to his medical complications. His Kidney Anti-Rejection Drugs. He has developed Diabetes as a result from his complications. Not to mention he cannot work for several more months as a result of this surgery.
I hope we can all get together one more time and do it for this man. Feel confident that $1, $5, $10 is never too small to send. As Konnan has said himself. He had thousands of donations of just $1. $5. Every dollar adds up.
A Paypal account and email address ([email protected]) has been setup so everyone can send donations. Every penny donated will go towards Konnan's Kidney Transplant Surgery.
