They need a bigger television deal. They have everything. Everything is right there. They just need a bigger deal. And I think that if they were to get on a bigger platform, I think they could be just as big as AEW. And you asked me the question about AEW being bigger than WWE. WWE is a big machine man. It\u2019s almost like saying do you think this new beer, that somebody puts out, like Stone Cold\u2019s beer is ever going to catch Miller Lite, it\u2019s not going to catch Miller Lite. Miller Lite has been around forever. You know, and there\u2019s too much money. And it\u2019s just something that they\u2019ll never be able to do. I mean, AEW, hovers around one million viewers every single week. I mean, that\u2019s great, but that\u2019s not good because they\u2019re not growing their audience, and you got to watch it grow, it\u2019s just not doing that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>If we&#8217;ll ever see CM Punk back in the ring:<\/b> That\u2019s really weird. John Alba put a tweet out of something to this degree for this question and I backed it 100 percent. I\u2019m still gonna say it, I don\u2019t see any reason for him to get back into a wrestling ring. I think he has burned his bridge at both major companies. I don\u2019t think nobody wants a shit disturber in their locker room and a guy who goes into business for himself. And I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s the kind of guy he is, but that\u2019s the kind of guy he\u2019s shown he is. So I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m sure that guy\u2019s got money. So I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any need for him really to get into a ring. So to answer your question with one word as opposed to a long word of sentences, would be no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>If he&#8217;ll ever make a return to pro wrestling:<\/b> &#8220;I\u2019m not gonna say I would never come back as a referee. But I just don\u2019t see that. I think it\u2019s a decision I decided and wanted to make and cement myself in. And I know a lot of people would say, well, you went to the Top Guy show in Chicago and you refereed there. I had already taken that booking before I retired, so that\u2019s why that happened. But I don\u2019t want to be Tom Brady. I don\u2019t want to be yeah I\u2019m retired and jump back out of retirement. So I want to really be serious about it. You know, and if anything were to bring me back, I don\u2019t know what it would be, I\u2019ll be honest with you. I don\u2019t know what it would be. I just really don\u2019t know what it would be to get me out of retirement. I really don\u2019t. The only thing that I would come out of retirement to do in the wrestling business would be if I was ever offered something backstage, such as being an agent, something like that, some degree of that. But I don\u2019t know, I just I\u2019m very happy with my decision. I\u2019m very happy in life. I\u2019m with my kids all the time I\u2019m always at their games. I sleep in my bed every night. I\u2019m not flying around. I\u2019m not trying to figure out how to get a hotel. I\u2019m not trying to figure out how to get a rental car.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And the airports have changed so much since Covid, and Covid has made it a nightmare. I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve traveled lately since Covid but I can tell you it is a complete nightmare. My last trip out was, story telling that I made the right choice, me and my Dad were together we were going to Slammiversary, the 20th anniversary of Impact Wrestling, and of course our flight got all screwed up in New York City. We were stuck in New York City, we had to stay about literally five miles, which means about an hour from the airport. And it was just a complete nightmare. We didn\u2019t get in until the day before, I mean, the day of the show instead of the day before, just a nightmare. We\u2019ve stayed at a horrible hotel. It was just tall telling that I made the right call and it just let me know that I did make the right call because it was a travel day from hell. The show was great, everything was wonderful that day, though, and it was awesome. But it\u2019s gonna take a lot if it ever does happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Other topics include CM Punk potentially taking an Impact Wrestling deal, stories about father Earl Hebner and his uncle David
