Modern locker room culture
I was a shooter, an amateur guy. I had a lot of credentials to my name. Of course, I got tested along the way by the old timers and the guys. You have to pay your dues. Back then, you paid your dues and you had to get your respect. It's different now, obviously. Things have gotten a lot softer.
John Cena's future role in WWE
I'm working diligently to try to figure out my next path as a contributing useful member of WWE. I think I might crack the code and I think we have something and if the stars align and everybody signs off I will be a whole lot more integrated in the system.
Jimmy Valiant retirement
Yes, this will be my final dance. I've retired before, but this is truly my last dance. I'm honored to be hanging up my boots after 62 years of wrestling professionally.
Sid Vicious Hall of Fame induction
Politics. I think has a lot to do with the selection of the individuals that go into the Hall of Fame. And it just came around finally at his time. It's a damn shame that he's no longer with us to enjoy those moments.
Will Ospreay return
If the doctors say he's ready to go, then stick him in there and let's play him. He's been rehabbing. He's been in the ring a lot. So, and what a match that should be. That's a hell of an attraction.
Midnight Express Hall of Fame status
They certainly have been deserving of being in the WWE Hall of Fame without question. That's not even debatable in my view.
Longevity in professional wrestling
What worries me about the guys working today is here I am at 55, 35 years in, with still some career left to go. I don't know if it's a year, two years, four years. I'm not sure. But I don't know how many of the guys working now will have the option to go 35 years.
Sable Hall of Fame status
For me, she's not in the Hall of Fame, that's wrong. She should be and hopefully that'll come to pass sooner than later.
WCW/WWE Invasion angle
I'd love to have seen the fight ensue on a weekly basis, but it didn't happen. And I wish it would have happened. It would have been a lot of fun to do some of those matches and some of the interpromotional things that we could have had.
Passing of Dennis Condry
He was a hell of a hand. He could make anybody look better than they really were. And so fun to be around. Smart guy. I liked him a lot.
Demolition Hall of Fame induction
I don't think for some reason it seems like Vince was not as high on Demolition as a lot of the people were. They are certainly deserving.
