Don Callis says he is the Tom Brady to Kenny Omega's Bill Belichick.
Don Callis previously helped lead Kenny Omega to greatness, but he betrayed the former AEW World Champion and aligned with Konosuke Takeshita. Since then, Callis has formed the Don Callis Family and recruited Will Ospreay, Sammy Guevara, and Powerhouse Hobbs. On the October 10 episode of AEW Dynamite, Hobbs scored a dominant win in a singles match against Jericho.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Callis was asked about Powerhouse Hobbs' victory over Jericho, and it was noted that Hobbs dominated the former world champion in a way fans have rarely seen. Callis agreed and stated that Jericho, like Omega, has been dominated by him. He also compared himself to former New England Patriots star Tom Brady by noting that Jericho and Omega have fallen apart without him, much like Bill Belichick struggled without Brady.
"I think that’s correct. I think that’s a good basic statement. I think that the larger statement is, Chris Jericho has not only been dominated by Hobbs, but if you’ve watched for last few weeks, he’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. I’m Tom Brady in this, and Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho are Bill Belichick falling apart and getting blown out at home," Callis said.
Later in the interview, Callis hyped up his own success as he called himself the most successful man in professional wrestling. He pointed out the significance of Kenny Omega's losing streak and stated that he, not Omega, is the true god of professional wrestling.
"What 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. We’ve only scratched the…Kenny Omega hasn’t won a match in 12 weeks. When has that ever happened? That’s because of me. The real god of pro wrestling was never Kenny Omega. The real god of pro wrestling is me," Callis said.
Looking ahead, Callis stated that his family wouldn't stop until Jericho was out of wrestling. He also expressed his excitement as he noted that his Christmas gift to the world will be dishing out more pain and disappointment for wrestlers and fans of AEW.
“I’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 Jericho’s down, but until I see Jericho out of wrestling, it’s not over. We’re gonna keep laying it on and laying it on thick and laying it on hard until Jericho quits the business. That’s it. So I’m very excited as we approach the holiday season to dole out more pain, more disappointment for wrestlers and fans of AEW. That’s my Christmas gift to the world," Callis said.
During the interview, Callis also described how he had his eye on Hobbs for over a year. Check out his comments here.
