Col. Robert Parker Says WWE Network Has Helped His Recognition

Col. Robert Parker was recently interviewed by Wrestling Epicenter’s Interactive Wrestling Radio. You can see highlights below, and the full interview above or at this link.

The quick growth of MLW:
“To get back out of the box, at that time, they weren’t on Bein Sports yet. They were just, I guess, on YouTube. But, I knew this was a growing company. You can just walk into the back and see the people they have involved in every element of it. You can see, for a guy like myself, I can see they are going places and they are going places very quickly. So, being with these two boys (Dirty Blondes) and being with this company has been a real pleasure for me.”

The younger fans being aware of the classic characters like himself:
“You know, when I run into younger fans who are anxious to get my autograph, in particular I do some of these autograph shows and sign some pictures and autographs and that sort of thing, I’m always overwhelmed. I look at the lines and I say, “My Gosh! Half the people in the lines weren’t born when I was in WCW!” (laughs) It is incredible. They are getting their information from the Internet and I guess Vince McMahon’s 24 hour Network… Places you can go and watch matches from WCW, I guess, from the whole time I was there! It has really gone places and grown our sport. I’m very proud to see those long lines because it means more work for me and I don’t mind work! (laughs)”
