Prichard had a similar argument with Vince McMahon when they had initial discussions about brining Callaway into WWE. McMahon thought Callaway looked like a “tall red-headed basketball player” and nothing more. McMahon even cancelled one meeting with Callaway, saying he wasn’t interested in him as a potential talent anymore. Eventually Prichard urged McMahon to think twice and they brought Callaway in. The rest is history.
Ross welcomes John Pollock back to the show for part two of his interview.
Pollock doesn’t believe we’ll see Conor McGregor at WrestleMania this year, however, he does suspect that McGregor will make a one off appearance with WWE over the next 3-5 years. McGregor obviously doesn’t need the money but it’s well known that he was a WWE fan growing up, so appearing once or twice in WWE might be a bucket list item for him.
Ross asks Pollock to fantasy book the WWE Title and Universal Title matches for WrestleMania. Pollock predicts that we’ll see Roman Reigns challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title. This match has been rumoured for months and WWE certainly appears to be heading in that direction. As far as the WWE Title goes, he thinks WWE might give fans the dream match they’ve been longing for – A.J. Styles versus Nakamura.
Pollock feels that WWE hasn’t really given fans a reason to care about Nakamura yet, and they’ve failed to tell his story. He feels that Nakamura needs to be treated more special and shouldn’t be shown in random backstage segments with other talents on a weekly basis. If you make Nakamura feel special and give fans a reason to care about him, they will respond accordingly.
