Johnny Knoxville has been making the media rounds to promote the release of the new Jackass 4 film, as well as his appearance at this Saturday's WWE Royal Rumble 2022 pay-per-view.
During a recent interview with St. Louis Dispatch, the Jackass co-creator spoke about bringing some guests with him to the Royal Rumble, his thoughts on Austin Theory and Sami Zayn, which WWE Superstars he would like to feature in future projects and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On bringing special guests with him to the Royal Rumble: “I’ve got some corner men I’m bringing with me. I’m going to have the greatest corner there that night.”
On Austin Theory and Sami Zayn: “People are going to get hurt, but it’s not going to be me. We’re talking about that low-down and dirty Sami Zayn and that pretty boy Austin Theory. There was a pretty boy named Austin Theory who saw me throw Sami out on this back. Some say Theory’s a chicken, now that theory is a fact.”
On WWE Superstars he would like to feature in future Jackass projects: “I’d like to drop Paul Heyman out of a cherry picker for a ‘Jackass’ stunt, and of course we would love The Rock to be in ‘Jackass’; we would treat him with the utmost respect. He’s the most down to earth guy and such a good person.”
On which WWE Superstars he respects: “Randy Orton and Riddle, I do have respect for. Those are two guys in the Rumble I do have respect for, but it is a competition, and unfortunately I’m going to have to treat Randy and Riddle just like I’m going to treat everybody else. It’s no reflection on the great people of St. Louis what I do to them in the ring — again, it’s just business.”
