Interview NJPW’s newest acquisition “The Dirty Daddy” Chris Dickinson he’s red hot from the indies and has a huge 2021 before him. .

[@nameredactedmessageretract7225]

Chris's expertise on full display yet again. When they were talking about Luke, and you could start to feel the sadness, Chris automatically changes the subject and keeps everything on track. Many interviewers would have tried to poke and prod at the subject to get an exclusive, but not Chris. Respect. Just a great pivot.

[@jkokubu1984]

Absolutely agreed, pro.

[@infesticon]

Well if you get a guest to cry on your show it's like a cum shot in porno, It's money. So heartless tv will try and get that happen if they think they get away with it., I've seen a widow being interview on british tv being asked "hey what would your husband think about all this do you think,," or something like that.

Jungle Boy you're already legendary in my eyes! I was shocked when I saw you and your sister in a picture with your dad, on Autopsy of Luke Perry R.I.P. I was a fan of your father when I was a kid too. But AEW renewed my love of wrestling, I think Jericho surpassed the entertainment value of WWE. Something about it is just pure magic, the talent involved is pure fire. I remember the first time I saw you wrestling and I couldn't believe how awesome this normal sized guy like me was pulling off such magnificent move sets... Anyway I could ramble on all night about what you guys are accomplishing.
