Being accused of stealing money from wrestlers while on an overseas tour with WCW:
“There was an issue where some money went missing in the dressing rooms over in London and actually I was one of the guys that lost my money as well but I got smeared with being the guy who took the money. About six months later they caught the guy, it was a referee that was stealing all the money but they put it on me and after we got back from the British tour which was actually the first tour WCW had ever done in Europe me and Rick Rude had a little bit of a scuffle over nothing. He just said to me be careful what you say to the office.”
When he saw his run in WCW coming to an end after being so over with the crowd:
“In those days you filmed the TV’s for a month and did something like 24 matches. I had only been used once that day and Dustin (Rhodes) had been on twice already and I was in the eighth match. The thing was that the people were quiet all night and when my music started playing the people went nuts and were dancing and going crazy. When I came back to the dressing room the only guy waiting for me was Ricky Morton and he started telling me a story and said ‘to watch my back’ because basically you just out-shined the Booker’s kid and after that things really started changing for me. I didn’t want to believe it but that’s the politics of wrestling.”
Working with Stunning Steve Austin:
“You could see the guy was talented there is no doubt about that. He was easy to work with and in this business eventually somebody at the right place and the right time will give you the break and if Steve was going to be in the right place at the right time you knew that he would be able to pull it off.”
