Despite his words and actions, Callihan thinks he and Segel are on good terms.

"I think we became best friends. I'm just saying, Jason Segel and I became best friends. The clip went viral, which is great. The moment I saw him, I was like, 'you know what, I'm going to have a viral moment tonight.' I planned it exactly that way," Callihan said on Busted Open Radio. "Now, more than ever, with how many great wrestling companies there are and how Indie wrestling is perceived, not just this carny shit show, you see these celebrities and famous people at Indie wrestling on a weekly basis. Pro wrestling is really cool at the moment. Especially the hipsters, that whole demographic. I remember a time, it was drunk rednecks at a wrestling show, that's all you got. Now, it's people from all walks of life and demographics and that's really cool to see."

Callihan has found success running Wrestling REVOLVER, which features top independent talent and has guest appearances from the likes of Jon Moxley.

Ronda Rousey is set to make her Wrestling REVOLVER debut on November 16. Fans can learn more about her appearance by clicking here.
