He’s also been caught off guard by people like Jim Cornette and Kassius Ohno calling him out online, calling him an unsafe worker. He points out that he’s been good friens with Ohno for a while, and he would have appreciated a call instead of reading tweets on the internet. Callihan adds that he and Edwards have been friends for years, and it’s been disappointing for him to hear Edwards on recent podcasts starting to play the blame game in this case as well.
He mentions that he couldn’t care less about what other people think about him. In a weird way he thinks this incident has helped his career. Jericho admits that he probably wouldn’t be interviewing Callihan for this show if it wasn’t for this baseball bat incident. Callihan says more people are talking about him now than ever before, but the notion that he did this on purpose is “garbage”.
Now that the incident has happened, Callihan doesn’t see why he can’t make some money with it. He’s made a t-shirt that shows Edwards’ bloody face and he points out that those shirts have been selling well. Jericho thinks it’s a bit much to be selling shirts like that, but Callihan points out that Edwards is selling shirts that reference the incident as well, so if Edwards can monetize this Callihan thinks he should be able to as well.
