AEW had some fun for April Fool’s Day with a creative and funny video featuring Don Callis. In the segment, Callis turned into a loud and annoying wrestling podcaster, something he usually makes fun of.
The skit was called AEW Undercover: Don Callis Infiltrates AEW Revolution and was released on April 1. Callis switched things up by dressing in a disguise with long gray hair, glasses, and a media pass. He acted like a rude backstage interviewer.
AEW even jokingly tweeted that turning him into a podcaster was worse than dealing with Kenny Omega or Jon Moxley.
AEW shares Don Callis’ ‘metamorphosis’ skit on social media
Right from the start, Callis was fully committed to the role. He said he was going through a “metamorphosis” and started insulting everyone. He joked that wrestling fans are “losers” and called the people he works with “idiots.”
“I am going to undergo a ‘metamorphosis’ so that I can point out with the help of visual aids, two things that I believe to be fundamentally true- all wrestling fans are idiots and losers, and the people I work with are complete blithering morons,” Caliis said in the video.
After his makeover, he looked in the mirror and joked, “First day in my life, I am a gigantic loser, just like the wrestling fans.”
After that, he went around backstage at AEW Revolution and talked to different wrestlers. He met Kyle Fletcher and tried to create tension in the Don Callis Family by asking him to pick between Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada. When Fletcher chose not to answer under his “Fifth Amendment right”, Callis replied to him, “Don’t incriminate your shit.”
He then goes on to Jeff Jarrett and asks whether the infamous “finger poke of doom” is the highlight of his career. Jarrett replied that it has nothing to do with him.
Later, Callis ran into The Young Bucks- Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson. Matt even said that the interviewer had a “filthy mouth,” not realizing it was Callis himself in disguise.
At the end of the skit, Callis revealed who he really was in front of the AEW media. He said the whole act was just to mock podcasters and interviewers and that his over-the-top portrayal was meant as a “visual aid” so that they understand how they look.
Callis also praised himself, saying he did an amazing job and joking that even Hollywood actors couldn’t have done it better.
