During the interview, the WWE and IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Fame legend and former Olympic gold medalist spoke about such topics as
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On Vince McMahon retirement from WWE: "I’m sad because Vince was the Achilles heel of WWE. He’s what made it roll, he’s what made it happen. If it weren’t for Vince, the WWE would not exist. I’m not saying he’s perfect. He didn’t do everything perfectly. He made very few mistakes from a business standpoint."
On how he is among the handful of WWE Superstars from the Attitude Era that are responsible for helping to develop Vince McMahon's on-air heel persona: "He thought it was perfect for me to be an Olympic gold medalist. He wanted me to be this clean-cut Olympian that preached the three I’s and motivated fans. And actually, he knew it would backfire. He was pretending to push me as a baby face knowing that the fans would crap all over me because I was so clean cut, it was like, give me a break, this guy can’t be that good. It worked extremely well and it turned me heel. Even though I would preach the three I’s, I would still cheat and win. That also gave me a lot of heat."
