You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Michelle McCool having potential for a great comeback: “I think there’s many women that can come back and do that. You know, somebody that really impressed me a lot was Michelle McCool. Every time Michelle has come back, she is in amazing shape. She comes back and she kicks a*s, she’s got it like, I think Michelle McCool could come back and have a great run. I think she’s really really really talented I learned so much working with Michelle McCool and Layla. I would absolutely love to see a Lay-Cool reunion, and both of them, they really helped me grow a lot when I was first starting out in WWE.”
On Beth Phoenix possibly coming back: “I also think, of course, I’m very biased, but I love her dearly. I think Beth Phoenix could come back and do a full run. Of course, I’m challenging Gail Kim to our singles match. Mickie James, Melina, Gail Kim, Michelle McCool, Layla. I love Alicia Fox, would love to see her do more. There’s just so many women that really, It’s like we were ready for the revolution before it was ready for us.”
In a recent appearance at Monopoly Events’ “For The Love of Wrestling” convention, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi shared his experience wrestling his cousin, the late WWE Hall of Famer Yokozuna.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On wrestling his cousin Yokozuna: “That’s very hard to answer, but I’d have to say with Yokozuna. I’ll tell you why … because there’s nothing like getting into the ring with your family members, and to be able to pull pranks on them, and so, when I was The Sultan, that mask I used to wear was made out of leather. So, whenever I would say something, you could never see me laughing or talking up underneath there.”
On getting splashed by Yokozuna: “When he finally did get me, the big man at 700-something pounds, boy he’d give me that splash in the corner, I wasn’t going nowhere.”
