The pro wrestling legend said in the latest episode of the “Six Feet Under” podcast that Trump’s wrestling fandom caught him “off guard.” He was left “impressed” with how he treated his family and the members of his staff too.

“And that fact that he had come down the one time to apologize because he was gonna be 10 minutes late. He coulda sent anybody down. He didn’t even have to send anybody down. Little things like that most people don’t get to see,” he said.

“I’m not here to sing praises or, you know, I don’t care honestly what people think about what we did. We did it and it’s done. There’s a lot more there than what a lot of people think … And that’s why we don’t talk about politics on this show.”

Calaway also recalled some of the negative comments he received about the interview. He said he was called a Nazi, fascist and misogynist because of it.

He also shouted out OutKick’s Tyrus, a former pro wrestler who also interviewed Trump ahead of the election.
