Kevin Knight Says Mike Bailey Is To Wrestling What Einstein Is To Science

Kevin Knight recently had high praise for Mike Bailey’s mind for the business, essentially calling his former tag partner the Albert Einstein of pro wrestling. Knight and Bailey had a strong riegn as a tag team as JetSpeed starting in June of last year. They had two reigns with the AEW World Trios Championship, one with Hangman Page and one with Mistico.

While Knight has now turned heel and attacked Bailey last week on Dynamite, he had a lot of braise for Bailey in an interview with The Jobber Tear’s Network. You can see highlights below:

On Bailey’s Wrestling Accumen:

“All I can say about Speedball Mike Bailey: he’s what pro wrestling is to what Albert Einstein is to science. He’s what Deion Sanders is to swag, you know what I’m saying? He knows pro wrestling inside and out. Like, you ask him about any match, about any style, he knows exactly who curated that style, exactly who came up with it. He knows all the moves, everything.

“So with that being said, Speedball knows exactly how to put everybody in the best place possible to get the best reaction out of everything. And he just knows how to cook up a formula. You give them me and you and somebody else, he’ll be like, ‘Okay. You do this, you do this, you do this. Boom, let’s go out there and do it.'”

On Bailey’s Confidence:

“And he’s so confident in his work when he’s putting it together, you’re not going to even question. You go out there and do it and you hear the reaction from the people, you’re like, ‘Oh my god, that was a cool idea. Let me keep trusting.’

“So, Speedball is that savant, that great wrestling mind that I’ve been so blessed to work with these past few months, this whole past year. And I’m glad to really be his partner because man, he kicks hard. Them feet are no joke.”
