I watched the new A&E Legends documentary on ECW and I was surprised to see Peter Rosenberg, Dave LaGreca and Sam Roberts on over people such as yourself or Dave Scherer. Does it offend you when they ask people who have no connection to ECW to do things like that?
NO. All three are all East Coast NYC area folks and I would assume were all at ECW shows at different time periods when they were younger. Even if they weren't, ECW belongs to everyone and the more people talking about it and their love for it, the longer the good memories sustain for others to discover what changed my life and a lot of others' lives for the better. Roberts and Rosenberg work for WWE, so why wouldn't WWE go to their own people? It's not like they conducted a lot of new interviews for the doc, except for Sandman and The Dudleys. Most of the doc pulled from previous WWE DVD release interviews or out-takes.
Why do WWE and AEW make their talents available so much to Sports Illustrated? It's silly.
You answered your own question. It's Sports Illustrated and even though that brand is not what it was decades ago (what magazine is?), it's about being able to say the talents are appearing and quoted in an outlet that is outside the professional wrestling bubble. It's just smart marketing. I also want to point out that Justin Barrasso, who does the majority of those pieces, does a very good job, so I hope your question wasn't a shot at him.
What's the best pro wrestler cameo in a movie?
I know this is a weird one but there are a ton of pro wrestlers in the original Mighty Joe Young -including Primo Carnera, Sammy Stein, Ivan "The Mad Russian" Rasputin, Sammy Menacker, "Crippler" Karl Davis, William "Wee Willie" Davis, Henry "Bomber" Kulky, Swedish Angel Phil Olafsson - and I always get a kick out of that sequence where they attempt a tug of war with him.
With the McMahon lawsuit paused, are we safe from him returning to WWE TV?
He's not returning to WWE TV. He doesn't have the power or ownership anymore to force his way back onto TV or the Board of Directors or even a role backstage. The only way that happens is if those with power want him back and who's going to want that while there's a potential indictment out theres somewhere?
Do you think Tony Khan would ever want to take AEW public?
You never say never but there have been instances in the past where he's shot down the idea. I don't think Khan would willingly make any moves where he would have others telling him what they want him to do in his company. I think he'll be content to have it private and run it as he sees fit.
