AEW's Chris Van Vliet discusses his new role, his dream interview and THAT interview with MJF (Exclusive)

Since I've asked for the epitome, I need to ask this - not to rip off Goldberg, but who's next?

So, I just uploaded my interview with Jimmy Jacobs yesterday. I was at the Impact Wrestling show in Hollywood, California at the weekend. I did four interviews there. Two have been uploaded, two you'll see soon. Brian Cage, I just uploaded Jimmy Jacobs - what a fascinating, in-depth, existential conversation that was.

I also have an interview with Ethan Page that I did, one half of the Impact Tag Team Champions, and then Melissa Santos, who is Brian Cage's wife/backstage interviewer in Impact Wrestling - but I just had an interview yesterday with Ken Shamrock's manager so I'm super excited. I was a huge Ken Shamrock fan both in UFC and then when he transitioned over to WWE, so I'm pumped about that. You can look for that one in the next month or so.

I'm really just taking them as they come. I'll line them up and I'll knock them down. I want to do as many wrestling interviews as I possibly can!

And I have one final question - I always like to end on something controversial, so you don't need to answer it if you don't want.

The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin?

Oh, THAT's a controversial question? The Rock, for sure. I mean, they're both great.

Look, you can't go wrong with either of them, there's no wrong answer to this question but I was such a huge Rock fan growing up. I was walking around my high school going, "It doesn't matter," at people all the time.

I dressed up as The Rock for Halloween, I was raising the People's Eyebrow in far too many photos when I was 15, 16, 17 years old. I've now had the honour of interviewing both of them. I've interviewed The Rock nine times and he's everything you want him to be - but who's counting? Who's counting? Nine times!

The Rock is everything you want him to be. He's funny, he's charismatic, and he goes out of his way to make you feel special, and that's a real interesting celebrity quality that not a lot of people have, so every time I have an interview with the rock, I look forward to it, because you know it's going to be gold.

My old question used to be about pineapple and pizza and that was inspired by The Rock because he said he loved it.

That IS controversial, that one's controversial.

Thank you so much for speaking with you. It's been a pleasure and I can't wait for everyone to see this.

No, Gary, thank you so much and, even though you didn't ask it, I will say that pineapple DOES NOT belong on pizza!
