AEW’s Don Callis recently appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including how Powerhouse Hobbs has been dominating Chris Jericho as of late, the same way they have been dominating Kenny Omega.

Callis said, โ€œI think thatโ€™s correct. I think thatโ€™s a good basic statement. I think that the larger statement is, Chris Jericho has not only been dominated by Hobbs, but if youโ€™ve watched for last few weeks, heโ€™s been dominated by me, much in the same way that Kenny Omega has been dominated by me. This is, as I said yesterday, the Brady/Belichick argument in reverse. Iโ€™m Tom Brady in this, and Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho are Bill Belichick falling apart and getting blown out at home.โ€

How he is the most successful person right now in professional wrestling:

โ€œWhat I am is the most successful person right now in professional wrestling because I have done all of this without putting myself at risk or others in my family. Weโ€™ve only scratched theโ€ฆKenny Omega hasnโ€™t won a match in 12 weeks. When has that ever happened? Thatโ€™s because of me. The real god of pro wrestling was never Kenny Omega. The real god of pro wrestling is me.โ€

How his rivalry with Jericho will not be over until he runs Jericho out of the business:

Callis said, โ€œIโ€™m very excited because I have a saying. We take, in the family, all that can be taken, and then we take a little more. So Jerichoโ€™s down, but until I see Jericho out of wrestling, itโ€™s not over. Weโ€™re gonna keep laying it on and laying it on thick and laying it on hard until Jericho quits the business. Thatโ€™s it. So Iโ€™m very excited as we approach the holiday season to dole out more pain, more disappointment for wrestlers and fans of AEW. Thatโ€™s my Christmas gift to the world.โ€
