How much he is looking forward to his final public appearance this weekend at WrestleReunion 5, why "it's not going to be a downer," and having the opportunity to interact with his fans one last time: "For one thing, it's not going to be a downer. I'm excited that I'm healthy enough to give the fans 100 percent of my attention, and certainly excited about meeting and greeting and signing autographs. Going to Los Angeles will be very exciting for me to see a lot of guys I haven't seen in years along with the fans. I would have to say that the fans have been the ones really abused over the years. Thank God for shows like this, that's it's such a fan-friendly extravaganza than the old kayfabe days, where you treated the fans like they had the plague."
 
How his faith has helped him in dealing with his recent illness/health troubles and his private conversations on the importance of religion and faith with Eddie Guerrero prior to his passing: "There's no question that faith beyond this life has kept my spirits up, there's no question about it. Faith is essential, and I know that Eddie Guerrero's faith was enormous. I had the honor of having private conversations with Eddie about God, the hereafter, and our faith. He was so genuine, and it was just remarkable (his spiritual belief), even though we fall so short as human beings."
 
Whether or not World Wrestling Entertainment has made any attempts to contact him recently since the announcement of his illness and why, despite a love/hate relationship with Vince McMahon/the WWE, he wishes to acknowledge publicly the company being "really good" to him on the overall: "Several folks in the office have been very nice to me and have been very sympathetic to my plight. I will go on record to say that despite the love/hate relationship that Vince McMahon and I have had, I will say that the WWE has really done nothing but good for me. They've made me money, they've made me a Hall of Famer, but I also made them a lot of money. I contributed to their success, but they have been really good to me, and as in any corporation, you will have issues with your bosses. That's just a matter of fact."
 
His thoughts on recent superstars emulating him over the past two decades, his influence on both Hulk Hogan and Jesse "The Body" Ventura, and what he thinks about his own lasting legacy in professional wrestling: "It's great. I'm so proud of my legacy and extremely proud to have influenced folks who have turned out to be a Hulk Hogan and a Jesse "The Body" Ventura. What a compliment. The old school fans thought Jesse was trying to steal my stuff, and look like me, and talk like me. It's a compliment that you have something good enough that somebody wants to use, and two of these people (Hogan and Ventura) became household names, and took my influence, and did it very well. I have no hard feelings about guys trying to emulate me, it's actually a compliment when you get right down to it."
