New Japan Pro-Wrestling rising star Kevin Knight was a recent guest on the Women’s Wrestling Talk podcast. One topic that came up was superstar Mercedes Mone who has also made appearances for NJPW.
Knight was asked if he has ever engaged in a full conversation with Mone. Knight confirmed that he hadn’t and only met her twice in which he just said “hey” as they passed each other. Knight called Mone the Beyonce of wrestling and explained why he feels that way:
I never got to have a full conversation with yet. I’ve only met her twice, and that was just saying ‘hey’ in passing. I don’t like to bother people backstage. They got something going on, I just let them do their thing, and I’m focusing on my match anyway. I’m excited to see the things that she’ll bring to the independent world, to the New Japan/STARDOM world because she’s literally like the Beyoncé of wrestling. Wherever she goes, her fans are following, so it’s gonna sell out everywhere. So it’s only good business in my opinion. I’m excited to see how see does things on her own,
