We caught up with Justin Zimmer—wrestler, announcer, Carolina native, and proud holder of the Bojangles Belt—to talk about suplexes, Supremes, and what it means to represent more than just yourself in and out of the ring.

This ain’t just about fried chicken. This is about legacy.

What’s your go-to Bojangles order for breakfast?

The Champ’s Delight. A Cajun Filet Biscuit topped with bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese (where available). Unbeatable. Delightful. Just like the Champ himself.

When you’re in the ring, do you feel like you’re representing more than just yourself? How does Bojangles fit into your persona?

Absolutely. I feel like I’m always representing the Lord God and Bojangles wherever I go. Bojangles is part of my DNA. It’s in the memories—family dinners, road trips, date nights. It’s more than a meal. It’s home.

What’s your lunch go-to before a big match?

Them Bo Bites. Crispy. Powerful. Balanced. They hit like a stunner and pair real nice with that Peach Honey dipping sauce. That’s championship fuel.

Let’s talk about those suits. Why the Bojangles logo?

Ric Flair inspired it all. Back in 2018 when Bojangles handed me that title belt, I was deep in my 1980s NWA Flair phase. Flair had custom suits, so I thought—why shouldn’t I?

So I made one from an actual Cajun Filet wrapper. Yup. And Bojangles reimbursed me. When they changed their logo, they had new suits made for me. Because when you’re The Champ, you stay dressed for the part.

If you had to name your signature wrestling move after a Bojangles item, what would it be?

The Supreme Dipper. A double-arm DDT that drives opponents into the mat just like I dip Supremes into honey mustard. It’s precise. It’s powerful. It’s saucy.

Favorite “Bojangles moment” in the ring?

Ring announcing in my hometown, suited up with the belt. I used to shy away from wearing the suits locally, but stepping out in front of my people—representing what I love most—was unforgettable.

You’re stranded at a rest stop and you get one Bojangles meal. What’s the survival pick?

Super Tailgate Special with Cajun Pintos and Mac & Cheese. You’ve got quantity, flavor, and hydration all in one—thanks to that half-gallon of Legendary Iced Tea.

Favorite band right now?

Depends on the day, but lately it’s a workout mix of Elevation Worship, Queen, and Taylor Swift. It’s chaotic, but it works.

Favorite place to visit in North Carolina?

Carolina Beach is my jam. Small town feel, full of memories, easy drive—and now they’ve got a Bojangles? Say less.

Bojangles makes you their official spokesperson—what’s the first commercial look like?

Picture this: an ’80s Ric Flair-style promo.

The Champ in the suit and belt, laying down truth:
Bojangles has the best fried chicken.
Always has. Always will.
Other joints are out here playing ketchup (literally and figuratively).

It’d be a dream come true. Just imagine: folks cosplaying as The Champ, rocking the suits and belts, spreading the gospel of Bojangles one Cajun Filet at a time.
