As noted before, former wrestler and WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis is currently scheduled to be making an appearance for Big Time Wrestling at their March Mayhem event on March 14th in Chillicothe, Ohio. This will be Laurinaitis since being named a defendant in Janel Grant’s sex trafficking and abuse lawsuit against Vince McMahon in January of 2024. Laurinaitis had reached a deal with Grant’s legal team to be dropped from the lawsuit in return to agreed to cooperate and provide evidence against McMahon and WWE.
A recent episode of the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast featured Laurinaitis as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Laurinaitis’ thoughts about his upcoming public appearance for Big Time Wrestling.
“March Madness is gonna be historic in a sense that it’s actually my first-ever public appearance for a company, and part of the (reason) I’m doing that is because of — it’s kind of just ironic that The Road Warriors are gonna be inducted into the Ohio Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, and actually there’s a match, a tribute to the Road Warriors so it’s kind of nice that my first appearance is gonna be actually something that is honoring my brother.”
Laurinaitis also gave his thoughts about him currently being hopeful to get involved and work with Big Time Wrestling in some capacity.
“I think the way Big Time Wrestling — and I’ve had discussions with Bobby (Fulton) and Dillon (Hines), and you know, what they’re looking to do is make it a place to be, so to speak. In other words, there’s ideas of maybe having international talent come in, having more high-profile names come in, and I’m really looking forward to their future, and hoping that somehow I can be part of that, whether it’s behind the scenes or help them with promoting and stuff like that because I think the more places for talent to work, the better opportunity it is for the business and I don’t know if everybody realizes this but, I ran the developmental system for WWE for 20 years. So, my one love is to help and develop and groom young talent, and that’s what I think is the strategy for Big Time Wrestling now is to find younger talent and develop them into the stars of tomorrow.”
