What happened over Matt Taven? He had his release from AEW/ROH, and now he is back teaming with Mike Bennett as The Kingdom on ROH in what seems to be a very short period of time.
AEW had decided to move on from him in January when his contract was up. They decided to bring him back to have a familiar tag team on Ring of Honor. It was implied to me he's on a different kind of contract than he was before.
Do you think Kevin Knight still ends up in a partnership with Swerve since it was teased a while ago? I think Knight doesn't need to be part of the Callis Family where he's number 3 or even 4 in the pecking order.
No, and I actually don't think it was ever really teased. I think it was ultimately the catalyst for a Kevin Knight heel turn, though. When Swerve said that Kevin Knight was "the future," Knight took that as an insult instead of a compliment. He wanted to prove that he was the present instead of the future, and had a chip on his shoulder as a result of that.
Have you heard any news of that Freddy prinze jr wrestling promotion?
Nothing in the last number of years. Honestly, the last thing I really heard of it was like four years ago, with maybe a couple of names thrown around a couple of years ago. There have been a lot of people that were pitched on the idea who have since gone to WWE and AEW and already left those companies, it's been so long.
