Big Bill recently appeared on AEW’s Unrestricted Podcast to discuss a wide range of topics, including joining the promotion. AEW sent us the following highlights:
On his stare-down with actor Ken Jeong:
“Jungle Boy was getting beat up, and I had no idea that Chow from the Hangover was there… I was just stalking [Jungle Boy], and he went to the barricade, and I just thought it would be a random fan I thought I could taunt. I looked up and it was him. I was completely taken off guard.”
On his AEW: Dynamite debut:
“I hadn’t been on national television in many, many years, and I worked really hard to get back to where I’ve come from and to get back to where I am now.”
