I just watched a few Mark Henry strongman competition documentaries and I'm convinced he's one of the greatest athletes of our time like Lemieux and Jordan and Tom Brady. What's your opinion?

I like Mark Henry a lot but there is no way I would say he is one of the greatest athletes of our time, and that is no slight to him in any way, shape or form.  He was one hell of a specimen, for sure.  Vince McMahon just didn’t use him well.

In regards to the FMB, do Dave and Eps ever disagree with one another?   I only hear them agree when I get a chance to listen.

We do occasionally, yes.  But we agree most of the time because we have a similar view on what we like in professional wrestling so we don’t disagree that often. 

Have you heard any talk of WWE bringing in the Von Erich brothers?  I have been watching them on ROH and they are pretty good.

I have not but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t at least on the WWE radar.  WWE keeps tabs on all of the available talents but right now they are signed to AEW.

I was reading about the famous old journalist saying that Hulk Hogan was not an international star compared to Mil mascaras or Bret Hart. I am from the Middle East and I can tell you that in the 90s Bret Hart was extremely popular, especially when he came to wrestle in the Middle East but if I had to bet, I would definitely bet that Hulk Hogan is the most recognizable wrestler of all time outside the US even more than Steve Austin. What do you think? Was it true that in your eyes he is not a very big star outside of the US?

Ah, the old reporter who lost his way makes another ridiculous statement.  What the old man is referring to is Japan, which is his holy grail.  The sad thing is, he doesn’t even see the Japanese fan base the way that it actually is.  Back in the day, I had a number of contacts in Japan and Hulk Hogan was 100 percent a huge star to them.  He was also a huge star in the Middle East, Europe, etc.  Old Yeller thinks that everyone sees the business like he does.  Remember, he is the same person that said AEW will blow WWE away once the country got to see what his version of great wrestling was.  So this is just another instance of the crazy old man again spewing his opinion as if it’s fact.  It is not.
