"That's my old, 1999, early 2000s, that's when wrestling was real back then. The good ol' days," he said.
Asked what his wrestling name would be, Lewis replied, "Rikishi 2.0"
Asked if he would take his shorts down and give opponents a stink face like Rikishi, Lewis said, "For sure, yes."
Finally, Lewis asked what opponents would be smelling, Lewis replied, "Probably chicken grease."
