Mike Florio has used Manish Mehta as a source on more than one occasion. He's probably Florio's source for this one too, which means this is most likely full of sh*t, just like Mehta.

If you ever wrestled for Vince McMahon, he seems like a fiery type of leader so maybe that counts?
I agree tho...pro wrestling definitely wins out over aec's semi-pro-minor-league ping-pong career.
