      Michael Rathburn If I’m not mistaken he was in a amateur powerlifting meet and afterwards he filled a drug test and WWE got wind of it. But he’s doing all right for himself now. Again when I’m 50+ I am absolutely going to take testosterone so I have the energy levels and sex drive is a 16-year-old. Again with moderation, proper training and diet you would be lying to me to say you’re not gonna do it at 50 because it’s the fountain of youth. Not to go all Alex Jones on you but do your home work. Steroids being super evil and having crazy negative side affects is a lie.

      Competing with WWE is the reason that TNA was never able ot sustain as a major brand. They tried to force the issue by putting Impact on Monday nights and signing a lot of big price established names. The company is still technically around but they're at best the 4th biggest promotion in America now.

    • @CreatureOTNight

      Competing against WWF is like going up to a senior citizen and punching them in the throat. Isnt needed and sure not something you get high fived for. AEW is taking the indis to another level that ROH and TNA/Impact failed at.

      Aew will of course have to compete with WWE for Revenue. Why because they are competing with WWE for talent. And in order to pay all the wrestlers they have. they are going to have to generate a fuck ton of money. with in a few years of opening. If they are still making a big loss in a few years the khans will pull the plug.
      They are paying wrestlers more then what they would get from the WWE.

    I will say my favorite interviews anyone does is Paul Heyman. Doesn't matter who's doing the interview, you will get insight on the business like never before. Chris's interviews are like Paul Heyman interviews but the difference is Chris knows the right questions to ask to get those nuggets of insight on the business. His interviews with Jericho and Ziggler and now this one are some of my favorites. Great job! You've made it big as far as who you're getting, but stay greedy. Stay hungry. Don't settle.

    WWE is great ! AEW is going to be great ! TNA is great ! NJPW is great ! Etc... And no need to create war between them All (In) 😉. Just appreciate things. When a Wrestler go to the WWE, be happy ! When a Wrestler go to AEW, be happy ! No need to say oh this Wrestler will be ruined in the WWE cause you can't know in advance and the WWE doesn't try to ruin Talents. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's just hard sometimes to use Everybody, the competition is BiG in the WWE ! And when a talent go to AEW, no need to say Ah ! In your face WWE ! And when Wrestlers leave the WWE, don't think that it's always the WWE'S fault. For some it doesn't work in the WWE for different reasons : Timing, competition, language barrier, culture, Wrestling style, the crowd too can make or break and sometimes some Talents are just not good enough compare to the others Talents ! Gotta be honest about this too !

    I’ve never seen a proper Billy Gunn interview before, but I love how these guys act like they’re genuinely best friends. Constantly laughing together, good conversation flow, good stories, good jokes between them both instead of just being a boring scripted PG interview that WWE have been known for recently. Extremely incredible interview!
