I haven\u2019t talked to Naomi, I haven\u2019t talked to Mercedes, or Sasha, either. So, I think every talent\u2026 fans forget, you know, there\u2019s keywords used every time, there\u2019s opportunity and all these different things, but this is still a business. And as much as we love and everyone has passion for this business, it comes down to a lot of times making business decisions. And sometimes a talent believes strongly in something they have to take that stand. I\u2019ve never been put in a position where I felt like I had to make that choice. My attitude was always very different in wrestling. I always [felt like] I signed a contract, they pay me to do this. Whatever they want me to do. Whether it\u2019s getting knocked out by a mechanical bull, wear a mawashi and have my ass hang out at WrestleMania and have a sumo match.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was never a thing for me where I was so worried about my character. And I\u2019ve caught grief for that over the years too, [that] I\u2019ve sold too much for these people, I\u2019ve done too much for other people. Everybody\u2019s got an opinion. I always approached this business and never forgot the golden rule, that it\u2019s entertainment, it\u2019s not real, doesn\u2019t matter. Whatever you do last week, most people won\u2019t remember in three or four weeks. And if they do remember it, then that\u2019s a good thing, because you\u2019ve made an impact on a fan. But everyone looks at this business differently. They all have their own business choices and opinions. I just hope obviously that Sasha and Naomi find a way to work things out, because they\u2019re two incredible talents that fans really enjoy seeing. And the only sad thing out of the whole scenario would be them not being able to entertain the fans that I know that they both are very passionate about and love doing. But again, all you can do is sit back and wait and see what happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On his second hip transplant in December keeping him out of the ring, wanting to help young talent, and working on his commentary skills:<\/b> &#8220;I\u2019m never going to be a guy that\u2019s come in and bully my way, I\u2019m gonna need my own dressing room, I need to be fighting for the title. That\u2019s not my MO. I want the business to do well, I want the talent around me to do well, and I\u2019ll be okay. I had another hip transplant in December. So, now I have two. I have two titanium hips. So, I\u2019m like wolverine. So, the process for me has just been rehab, physical therapy, get stronger. And my thing coming over here to be honest and be sincere is, I came over here to work on my commentary skills. Because that\u2019s where my future lies in wrestling, that\u2019s where I came to contribute to the business. But I came over here to compete periodically in small dosages.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like, I don\u2019t see myself running for championships. That\u2019s not my gig. Maybe if it works and there\u2019s a younger talent that I help bring up a lot, like a tag team championship, maybe. I\u2019ve done my five nights a week for four decades. I\u2019ve put in my time. Now for me it\u2019s about not taking anything away from the amazing AEW talent here that deserves that TV time, that deserves that opportunity to make those connections with the audience, that deserves that ability to go out and earn pay-per-view paydays. This is their time. And for me, I\u2019ll pick here and there and squeeze in. We\u2019ve got some stuff coming down the line that\u2019s really cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On AEW dream matches:<\/b> &#8220;Wardlow obviously at some point. I\u2019d like to actually do some kind of thing where I could tag with Wardlow. Just so I can kind of work with him as a team. I think there\u2019s a lot of fun we could have there. I would love to do something. When I look at guys, it\u2019s funny, because a lot of this too would be me being a heel. And I don\u2019t know if I could pull that off, but I\u2019ve had more turns than NASCAR. When there\u2019s a lot of great talent \u2013 even working with like Kenny Omega, Adam Page. I would love to work with Dante Martin, Ricky Starks, Darby Allen. My god, I would love to be a heel with some heat and work with Darby Allen. Like, I mean, I think I could cause a riot with Darby Allen. Murderhawk [Lance Archer]. I\u2019d love to work with him, just because he\u2019s a big monster. There\u2019s a lot of younger talent there that I want to mix up with. But it\u2019s finding the right scenario to mix it up. Because let\u2019s be honest, it doesn\u2019t do any good for me to go out there and beat up a younger talent at this stage of the game for me, you know what I mean? I need to find a way that it makes sense to enhance that talent and elevate that talent. So, I think in this situation a lot of it is less is more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On Steve Austin&#8217;s WrestleMania return and how Vince McMahon takes &#8220;the crappiest&#8221; Stunners:<\/b> &#8220;I thought it was great. I thought it was good for Steve, because Steve and I stay in touch a lot. We\u2019re pretty good buds. We\u2019re usually laughing about cars and dog videos, but I know he\u2019s been working really hard. He stays in shape, he hits the gym, he gets his cardio in, and I know that he loves this business, and like me, you always want to be a part of it. And for him to get out there and rock and roll and have that opportunity to mix it up, that\u2019s an amazing opportunity for him, and I thought he did fantastic. I really did. I know they\u2019re the other company, but I was really, really \u2013 I\u2019m pleased and happy with how that whole thing turned out and the way they laid it out, and even Vince getting his ass in the ring and doing something, I thought it was great&#8230; Here\u2019s the thing, and he\u2019ll be the first to admit it, he takes the crappiest stunner. It\u2019s a good thing he\u2019s a smart guy and can run a company, because he\u2019s just not an athlete. God bless him. He\u2019s a hell of a weightlifter. You know, squats 700 pounds, benches 500 pounds, but he\u2019s just not the athlete that Shane [McMahon] is, that\u2019s for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3988978111\" class=\"prowr-after-content
