MJF's promo on Khan has been divisive. I personally enjoyed it, but I'm a huge fan of whatever MJF does. What is your opinion of it?

I did a whole column on it!  You can read it by clicking here.

Is there one celebrity/athlete going around now that you think would be great to have wrestle in a match? Or does it depend on what they're promoting and who WWE/AEW can afford?

There are plenty of them.  If they could get Tom Brady to wrestle, for example, it would be a boon.  But big name athletes/entertainers usually don’t want to get involved.  And if they did, it would cost big money.

Ric Flair has been kind of persona-non-grata ever since the “Dark side of the ring” “plane ride from hell” episode.  Plus he’s been going off the rails with stuff he’s said about Becky Lynch and such.  But could this “one last match” he’s doing, with the Jim Crocket Promotion’s pomp and circumstance, could it rehabilitate his image if he comes out of it OK?

I guess it depends on your point of view.  It won’t for me, no matter what happens.  Flair has made so many bad decisions in the latter third of his life and to me, going into a wrestling ring at his age, after all of the health problems that the has had, is just crazy.  If somehow he comes out OK, it won’t rehab his image for me.  It will just mean he got really lucky.

I’m curious about your hate for Enzo.  Is he really that bad?  It’s not hate.  That is a strong word.  I think he is a clown due to his actions.  And when he showed up in the crowd, looking to glom attention from people working the show, that’s when he went into Loser Land for me.

Do you put him in the same category as Low Ki or does he bother you a different way?

They are apples and oranges.  Enzo is a much better talker/character.  Low Ki is a much better worker.  My issue with Low Ki is the way he carries himself.  The dude is like 5’8” and has always acted like he was Wardlow sized.  I am someone who needs the wrestler to look the part so when a little guy acts like he is a monster, he loses me right away.
