Col. Robert Parker was recently interviewed by Wrestling Epicenter's Interactive Wrestling Radio. You can see highlights below, and the full interview above or at this link.
The quick growth of MLW:
"To get back out of the box, at that time, they weren't on Bein Sports yet. They were just, I guess, on YouTube. But, I knew this was a growing company. You can just walk into the back and see the people they have involved in every element of it. You can see, for a guy like myself, I can see they are going places and they are going places very quickly. So, being with these two boys (Dirty Blondes) and being with this company has been a real pleasure for me."
The younger fans being aware of the classic characters like himself:
"You know, when I run into younger fans who are anxious to get my autograph, in particular I do some of these autograph shows and sign some pictures and autographs and that sort of thing, I'm always overwhelmed. I look at the lines and I say, "My Gosh! Half the people in the lines weren't born when I was in WCW!" (laughs) It is incredible. They are getting their information from the Internet and I guess Vince McMahon's 24 hour Network... Places you can go and watch matches from WCW, I guess, from the whole time I was there! It has really gone places and grown our sport. I'm very proud to see those long lines because it means more work for me and I don't mind work! (laughs)"
