AJ Francis is set to compete at MLW Intimidation Games, and he recently gave an idea of what to expect from his match and more. Francis spoke with Wrestling Inc for a new interview and you can see a few highlights below:

On his involvement in MLW Intimidation Games: “I think I’m facing Mr. Thomas tomorrow but me personally, it doesn’t matter, man. When I show up, it doesn’t matter. Whatever I am supposed to do that day will get done. If it means I got to slap around Mr. Thomas or it means I got to out-promo Alex Kane again, it’s as easy as picking up a microphone and breathing air. Whatever it takes, I’m just excited for a very packed show in New York City. I’m excited for that.”

On calling himself the hottest free agent in the world: “It fits me because everybody’s talking about me. I have [fewer] matches than every other free agent that just got released. The likes of guys like Matt Cardona bring me up for no reason. People get their most engagement talking about me. That’s wrestlers, that’s wrestling reporters, that’s just news people. People get their most interactions talking about me. I get my most interactions talking about me. There’s a clear correlation there. Alex Kane is a good brother, but he’s got a lot to learn from me, and I plan on teaching him. First thing I’m going to do is make sure that he goes to a new barber because that mohawk is atrocious. But, after I take care of that, I’m going to teach him how to make himself the most talked about prospect in wrestling.”

On people he wants to face in the ring: “Cardona, Effy, Myron Reed, Chris Bey, Lio Rush, Zilla Fatu, Jacob Fatu. Who else? Muscle Man Malcolm. Who else would I like to beat the hell out of?… Yeah, any and everybody, man. I’m a big believer in, as long as I’m in the ring, we can make money. You know what I’m saying? It don’t matter who’s across from me. It don’t matter who is the person that I’m working with. In TNA, I’m working with Joe Hendry. People are talking about Joe Hendry more than ever. In MLW, I’m working with Alex Kane. They’re talking about Alex Kane more than ever. Apparently, the NWA show that I’m supposed to be on this weekend, too, is one of their most sold shows that they’ve had in a long time. I would love to be Mustafa Ali’s Secretary of the Treasury. I think that would work very well, yeah, but anybody, for real.”
