Conrad Thompson recently appeared as a guest on the My World with Jeff Jarrett podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, one of the main people behind the recent Jim Crockett Promotions Presents: Ric Flair's Last Match special event last weekend in Nashville, TN. spoke about The Undertaker sitting front row at the event, promoting wrestling and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On The Undertaker sitting in the front row during the event: "When we heard he was coming, I was like, ‘Buddy, even if he does come here, he’s not going to use these front row seats’ ‘Wow, okay, cool, man.’ By the way, when he showed up, my phone blew up. It was like, I thought something happened to my kid because everybody was texting, but it said, ‘The Undertaker’s here’. Hats off to my man, Mark. Man, you want to talk about respect. When the real deal godfather of wrestling comes out and sits shoulder to shoulder with Bret Hart, unbelievable."
On promoting wrestling: "You (Jeff Jarrett) and I talked about this over a year ago. I said ‘No, I’m not doing wrestling. I’m not promoting wrestling. I’m not negotiating, I don’t want to be involved in the politics. I like my lane.’ But this opportunity presented itself. The real story that we’re not talking about, we will tell you one day, but this is part of a bigger master plan. No, it does not involve Ric Flair wrestling again, but the entrepreneur’s brain kicked off and I saw an opportunity for Sunday, and I said, ‘If I don’t do it, I’ll wonder, what if? so let’s do it.’ We rolled the dice and I couldn’t be more tickled with the results."
