Johnson says he signed his contract without proper counsel, on what he called a "take it or leave it" basis by Vince McMahon. Ken said he did his own taxes and that his income was reported by WWE on 1099 forms.

As a manager, Johnsons character depicted a stereotypical African American named "Slick, a jive-soul brother." Kevin stated that Vince instructed producers to focus on his lips when he appeared on TV, during promos.

Ken also said he sometimes worked 30 to 40 nights straight, without a break.

Johnson said he was paid $2,500 to induct the deceased Big Bossman into the 2016 WWE Hall Of Fame.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.

Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.

When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
