On getting an offer from WWE in 2001: “When (ECW) went bankrupt, I got a call from WWE. And they wanted me to work with X-Factor, which was X-Pac, Justin Credible and Albert. But the way it was presented to me, it was going to be on Raw, live, and it was them against the Hardys… So Lita and I would have, I think, ended up going off and doing our own thing, the struggle. But at that point, I was 30 years old… In my head, I was thinking that they were going to make me train again to be like that wrestler. And I didn’t want to do that.

On his brief appearance in WWE ECW: “In 2006 I actually signed, because I was told I was going to become a manager. But they made me do bikini competitions every weekend. And I was just like, I don’t want to do this… I’m 34, and I have to do all this bikini stuff, and I’m just like, that’s not what I signed up for… I I even said Vince to his face, like, “Let me take Kevin Thorn’s finisher.” He said, “We don’t do that here.” » I said, “You don’t let the girls rush around here?” He said, ‘Well, I didn’t watch ECW, I don’t know anything about you.’… All I did was go and yell at Johnny Ace, ‘Give me my release, I want to go home.’
