Summary

What exactly happened between Don Callis and Kenny Omega? And just who is Don’s new superstar Japanese stud pro wrestler, Takeshita? Don sets the record straight about his recent falling out with his former protégé, and details the role that Kenny’s cage match with Jon Moxley and the big Anarchy In The Arena match between The Elite and Blackpool Combat Club played in the dissolution of their relationship. He speaks to what he refers to as the toxic relationship between Kenny and The Young Bucks, how “friendship” proved to be the ultimate betrayal, and why Kenny will never be successful without Don. Don and his new protégé, Takeshita, outline their plans to not only take Championship gold at AEW, but to also usurp Kenny Omega as the God of Pro Wrestling. Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

One of my oldest friends in the business, Don Callis, always great to have you on the show.

0:19.5

But people are angry.

0:20.5

They're outside the door.

0:22.5

They're kind of banging on the door a little bit, kind of angry over your conduct lately.

0:26.7

I know you requested this time when I talk to Jericho to kind of discuss everything that's been going on over the last few weeks for you.

0:33.7

The challenge, Chris, has frankly been, I've been trying to get my side of it out in the ignorant fans.

0:40.7

As you've seen, haven't let me. I can't get four or five words out without getting boots all out of my underwear.

0:46.2

It's crazy that the heat is insane.

0:48.2

Whenever you try and say one word, people just boo, boo, so loud that can't hear you.

0:52.7

I think now, frankly, it's become a combination of, we don't like you, and so we're going to try to screw up everything you try to do.

1:01.7

So this is a much more civilized way for me to talk about, you know, what has been a serious issue in a longstanding thing as you know, I've known Kenny for many years.

1:25.7

Because when you say you've known Kenny for many years, that's not true.

1:27.7

You've known Kenny Omega pretty much his whole life.

1:29.7

So talk about kind of the whole relationship that you had because a lot of people might not know the entire story of it.

1:34.7

Well, I wasn't there for the conception, but...

1:39.7

But yeah, for his whole life, and not only known Kenny, I think I have been Chris, a positive influence, a father figure for Kenny for a long time.

1:52.7

Because I think Kenny's dad's a great guy, but I think Kenny looked up to me like a hero when he was a kid.

1:59.7

Because you were aligned with Kenny's uncle, the golden sheep in Winnipeg.
