If someone has to make you say who the greatest wrestler of all time was, no ifs, ands or buts, who is/was it?

I don't care what criteria you use, as a performer, the greatest of all time is, was and always will be Terry Funk.  If there was one man who constantly evolved, had compelling matches and promos, and accentuated everyone around him while entertaining fans, it was Terry.  He was also the most giving person one can ever be in professional wrestling.  He is the best and always will be, the end.  In my mind, you can say x drew more money or sold more merchandise but only one person gifted generations the way he did and raised a lot of hell while doing it - and that's the Funker.

In following up on your Martha Hart Q&A, how do you feel about Mark Henry and others pushing for Owen to be in the WWE Hall of Fame?

They have every right to want to celebrate their friend, but at the end of the day, it's Martha Hart's call and her wishes should be respected.    This will be the last time I address that.

Once the merger happens, do you think WWE and UFC will have cross-promotion of events?

Yes, unless their respective TV media rights deals would prevent it.  I absolutely expect we'll see things like UFC announcers saying, "For those of you who enjoy entertainment in your sport, WWE Wrestlemania is just three weeks away" and such plugs.

Does someone like a Tony Khan just live on the road now?

I am sure he is on the road more than he's home but he's stated that private aviation is the key for him, since he can fly private and cut down on the hours needed vs. if he was flying publicly, going through TSA, dealing with delays etc.

I went down the YouTube rabbit hole and watched videos of Jim Cornette ranting on WWE TV, shooting on whatever he fancied.  i was wondering if there was a story behind this or just a thing that certain WWE people thought would be funny?

During the period where WCW was dominating the Monday Night Wars era, Jim Cornette was given the chance to go on WWF TV to basically rant and shoot in an attempt to garner attention for the company during a period where they were vying for attention and failing badly.  It was one of those instances Where the company was throwing everything they could at the wall, hoping it would stick and this segment, while really entertaining for insider fans, wasn't one of those ideas that did and eventually, they disappeared.

Has there been any talk lately of Impact giving the Knockouts their own series?

Nothing that I've heard in recent months, although AXS TV at times has talked of adding additional wrestling content.  Just a few years ago, they were interested in a TNA resurgence but the pandemic halted those plans.  So, it's not out of the realm of possibility for down the line.
