During the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s SmackTalk, Mantell claimed that it was entertaining to watch Knoxville and Zayn share the ring together in a fun segment on SmackDown.

“It’s a fun segment, you’ve put both of them together and I don’t know if the writers did that or Sami and Johnny Knoxville did it,” said Dutch Mantell.

The former WWE manager went on to express that he is a fan of famous movie director Quentin Tarantino.

‘But it was entertaining, (…) He lives in Tennessee, that’s why his name is Knoxville. But you know, who else is a Knoxville native? Quentin Tarantino. I’m a huge mark for his movies. Pulp fiction, a great movie,” said Dutch Mantell.
