#wzAskLex With all of the negativity always talked about the way WCW ran, what is one big positive thing you got from WCW?
A. The unbelievable ratings we got, and being a part of the highly successful Monday night ratings war between WCW and WWE was one of the highlights of my career and a lot of fun.

#wzAskLex What would it have meant to you to have held the WWF Championship?

#wzAskLex Loved Lex but when Vince tried building the WBF around him what were his thoughts about success on a large scale?

#wzAskLex How were you able to overcome your paralysis?
A. I wasn’t able to totally overcome it, but what I am able to do today is a supernatural miracle. It’s a real testimony to what God can do when we allow him to live in and through us. He carries us through the storm.

What made you decide to leave the WWF in 1995 & what are your thoughts on the staredown on the first Nitro #wzAskLex
A. Enjoyed my time at WWF, however the opportunity to take part in something new with WCW intrigued me. The staredown was a very memorable moment for various reasons, and I get into both of those in detail in my book.
