- The respect he has for Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks
- Whether or not he thinks WWE will ever bring back the Hardcore Title
- Who he thinks will win the Royal Rumble this Sunday
- If he thinks this WrestleMania will be Undertaker’s final one
- A funny story involving Mae Young and Eric Bischoff
- More…
You can find the full audio from the final part of Mick’s interview as well as some transcribed quotes from it below:
On who he thinks will win the Royal Rumble match:
MF: Oh man, I don’t want to jinx it. You go in and, realistically, as much fun as it is seeing thirty entrants there’s six to eight guys who could win it. I just had this conversation because I did a set on an actual comedy show. As opposed to my own shows. It was a comedy show because I am going to be in that town tonight. It’s a lot different when you are following eight really funny guys and then you come out with a couple stories. It’s a little painful. (Laughs) It kind of hurts. (Laughs) So, I reached out to Dolph Ziggler. Dolph’s work ethic is second to none. He really works on his off days perfecting the craft and really wants to be a comic. As opposed to a guy who just tells stories from his career. I was like, “Man, I really tanked tonight.” He was like, “Yeah, I know how you feel.” So, I told him, I’m pulling for Ziggler. I am. I’m pulling for the dark horse. He’s a dark horse that fans would accept. That’s who I am hoping for. I don’t think it’s likely to happen but that’s my horse in the race.
On whether or not he thinks this year’s WrestleMania will be Undertaker’s last:
MF: I do. Do we even know if he’s going to be in it?
(WrestleZone Daily Host Nick Hausman)
NH: We don’t know. The speculation, again, take it with a grain of salt, was that John Cena could be squaring off against The Deadman. Obviously, John has gone down with an injury so that doesn’t look to be happening. I don’t know what you revisit. You watch Survivor Series and that did kind of feel like a send off in it’s own right, didn’t it?
MF: It did. I was told that was not necessarily the case. If not this year I think he’s got one more WrestleMania match in him. I think it was really important to him. He was injured in that match with Lesnar. I think it’s not an excuse, it’s a reason. I think it was just really important to him personally that he have those other shots at it. He had two matches that were Match of the Year candidates. I thought he really came through big time. I think he’d like to have one more match. He did wrestle Bray Wyatt last year but I think we’ll see him one more time. If not this year then next. My prediction is he’s got one more big WrestleMania match in him.
