AJ Francis, WWE’s Top Dolla, On MLW Intimidation Games, TNA, Hit Row, More – Exclusive

100%, man. I totally agree with you. Got a few minutes left. I hope you’re good to go. We got word this morning, we lost a wrestling legend in Virgil. Did you ever get the chance to meet him, and/or whether or not you did, do you have any lasting memories of the man?

Yeah, so Virgil was, when I was a kid, he was obviously with the Million Dollar Man and then he was with the NWO, so I got to see pretty much the peak of his wrestling career. But I did meet Virgil one time. He was trying to sell me his 8-by-10s on the street, which I thought was hilarious. The guy’s a perpetual worker, and he’s one of those characters. People pretend he never got over or did anything in WWE, but if you go back to watch when he turns on DiBiase at the Royal Rumble, the crowd, it goes crazy. And he had great facials then too. I just saw the clip the other day. It’s sad that he passed away today, but I just saw the clip literally three days ago. And he is a legend, and especially for Black wrestlers, he was one of the few characters we had in the late ’80s, early ’90s era of WWE. It’s sad to hear about his passing, especially he was young too. He was 60, 61. Yeah, it’s sad, but he did leave a lasting legacy, and that’s all anybody can ever ask for.

Absolutely. Dude, I read something today about somebody asked him for a picture not all that long ago and he said 20 bucks, and the guy said something like, “Yeah, but I’m a worker,” and he’s like, “All right, cool, 20 bucks,” which is great.

Yeah, “Sounds good, kid. Give me the god d*** 20 bucks. I didn’t ask you where you went to school, bro. I said 20 f****** dollars.”

Well, listen, man, anything else you want to plug or put over before I let you go?

Yeah, just follow me on all social media at @ajfrancis410. Check on my single, “We Outside,” streaming everywhere on all platforms, as well as the album that I have with Montez, “God Is Good,” streaming everywhere on all platforms. It’s a good time, man. I’m very much looking forward to MLW tomorrow and NWA this weekend, so I appreciate you having me.

Hey, man, thank you so much. It’s been a pleasure talking to you, and we wish you the best of luck.

Thank you, brother.

Later on.
