SK: I have to mention... You spoke about Goldberg and Brock Lesnar earlier. Obviously, you've kind of went out your way to carve a path towards both of them.
Is that something that you've done by yourself or has there been an indication to you that one of those matches may happen in the future?
Well... WWE... NXT has made mention of me wrestling Brock in promos and other things like that, but I've been calling out Brock since I started wrestling. It's such a huge goal. If I get close to that, I'll probably be really successful. If I do it, probably be a legend.
Now I'm as close I've ever been but I'm still pretty far.
With Goldberg, I was never even really wanting a match. I mean, I would take it for sure. He's Bill Goldberg, you know? The guy is money. At the same time, I never wanted a match. It was more so my opinion on his work-rate and his wrestling - not his ability to generate money or put butts in seats.
It was his salary, his work-rate. And I talked to Goldberg, we talked about it, he thought I was being disrespectful.
I was like, "Okay, man, that's my opinion. I'm just not a huge fan of your work. I'm just not. It's not great pro wrestling." It's like, "You've got a great jackhammer, great spear but the wrestling... Uhh."
I'm not lying. I feel like if I'm not lying, I'm not being disrespectful. Especially as that's how you make your money.
SK: That's one man you rubbed up the wrong way. There's one more out there - Chris Jericho. Do you have any messages at all to deliver to Chris Jericho?
MR: No, no messages for him, no messages for him. I'm not gonna give him that. I already have my one video, he knows what I think.
He told me to listen and learn, or whatever - which wasn't even directed properly towards me. Like I said, I wasn't trying to get him mad. It was just my opinion on somebody, in multiple interviews and whatever. Then I just watched that match and it was just too much. It was just too much.
So, I think maybe he should listen and learn. If he wants to get his a** kicked he can but I doubt he wants that.
