JL: I was never not signed to the WWE. My old contract came up for renewal and I just signed another one year contract like I’ve bee doing for… I dunno… the last twenty something years now? At one time I had three year contracts, then two years and then for the past couple, maybe 7-8 years, it’s just been one year. They usually just have me sign a one year contract. So I was never not under contract to WWE.
