You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On MJF: “MJF is definitely one of those guys, you know. He’s a guy that’s not going to sit around waiting for opportunities,” Joe said (per Wrestling Inc). “He’s very proactive, he’s going to get out in front of things, and he’s going to try and go make opportunities for himself. So, you know, MJF has been pretty consistent in that aspect and that is where his biggest growth has been.”
On Nick Wayne being part of a big angle in AEW: “You know, some people would be a little bit upset or pissed off about it, nah, that’s mission accomplished, that’s what I wanted. I wanted there to be a pipeline for young guys to get into real work and there wasn’t a lot of real work at the time WCW had closed down, ECW was also kind of in its last phases of its existence, so it was a very, very difficult time.”
On the veterans who are advising Nick Wayne: “All I know is a lot of those producers and people who supposedly are telling him what to do? These are trusted voices of the industry who have a lot of experience. Some of the most fundamentally career-changing things came from good stage advice from people who knew what the hell they were doing.”
Joe will challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship at AEW Worlds End this Saturday.
