On his injury at the hands of Brock Lesnar:
It was a simple case of an accident caused by inexperience. A lot of people have suggested that I didn’t co-operate with Brock on the powerbomb but nothing could be farther from the truth. If you look at the footage, you can see that I played my part in the move but the rotation didn’t go to plan. Brock should have put me back down on my feet but, instead, he decided to put me down on top of my head. He just wasn’t experienced enough to know how to handle a situation like it and, being absolutely honest, I’m not sure he realised the damage it would do to me. I reckon he thought it wouldn’t hurt that much if it happened to him, so just sort of dropped me without thinking of the consequences. He learned quick enough about neck injuries after his top rope move at Mania 19 though.
His thoughts on Chris Jericho and Mr. Kennedy:
What have you made of Chris Jericho since his return to the promotion?
“He’s a great wrestler and he’s proved just how great since he got back last year. Chris is one of my favourite people in the world – he’s a genuine guy and he’ll never stab you in the back the way that others would. John Cena is the same – just a straight up nice guy, no hidden agenda and one-hundred percent genuine. It’s a shame you can’t say the same for a lot of others in the business.”
Why do I get the impression this conversation is heading rapidly towards Ken Kennedy?!
“That motherfucker… he’s a dead man walking. I told VPW that if they get him on their show, I’ll not only work for free but I’ll fly myself in too. If I ever see him again, I’m going to jail, that’s all there is to it.”
So is it true then that he was instrumental in having you released from your WWE contract?
“No, that’s not why I got released. He didn’t have any clout, he’s was a backstage joke. I left months after that whole deal with pills but when he turned me in for doing something he gave me permission to do, he broke the rules and threw me under the bus. You don’t do that to one of the boys, tell them that something is ok and then turn on them the moment that it looks like you might get heat for it. If that happens, you take it like a man and own up to what you did wrong. I guess he had done so many stupid things in the year before that he figured he couldn’t afford to do anything else wrong. Didn’t make any difference in the end, he only lasted a couple more months before they realized how sloppy and boring he is and got rid of his whining ass.”
