I remember when I first broke into the business in 91, you have to understand that racism was still alive and well, just as I feel like racism is still alive and well today. I like to say what Malcom X used to say, &#8216;a lot of the Klansman turned in their white sheet for a suit.&#8217; Walking around and doing what they\u2019re doing. It\u2019s still relevant in the wrestling business, it is but we have come a long way since then.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s going to be hard to stop us from doing what we love to do. We watched this sport, we loved it, we want to be a part of it and we\u2019re coming in there and we\u2019re doing exactly not what we want to do in a disrespectful way but doing what we want to do to pay homage to those that have come before us that we have watched and idolized for so long. I\u2019m just very proud.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes I talk to guys like Koko B. Ware, when Bad News Brown was alive, we talked in the locker room anytime we were in Canada. He pulled me aside and gave me some tips on how to survive as an African American in this business. Something that Tony Atlas said, and I don\u2019t want to get too much into this, during the Junkyard Dog Dark Side of the Ring, was that &#8216;a black man in this business has to understand that we can\u2019t do what the white man do and expect to get away with it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Again, you still have racism that is very very prominent in this business. If they give you enough rope to hang yourself and you hang yourself then there is nothing that you can do about it. You never heard about me being in any controversy, drugs or anything like that. I\u2019ve kept my nose clean for 30 years in this business. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I\u2019ve done things before cameras came about but never been in trouble with the law, never done anything. Never given them a reason to want to mess with me in any type of way. Whenever I disagreed with something within the business, I always had a plan B just in case I didn\u2019t like plan A. I couldn\u2019t just go to them and say, &#8216;listen, I don\u2019t want to do that, I\u2019m not going to do that.&#8217; I always said, &#8216;I don\u2019t feel comfortable but here\u2019s what I think we can do.&#8217; Sometimes it worked and sometimes we didn\u2019t. I went in there with a smile on my face and did it even if they told me that I couldn\u2019t do what I wanted to do and that was fine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do understand that we have come a long way since when I broke into the business in 91. I remember coming into certain locker rooms and there were certain people that didn\u2019t care if it got out how they were treating you. There was a prominent figure, in WWE, I should say that he was office, that basically told me that he didn\u2019t like me because I was black. Two occasions he told me. Bubba was there on one of them and Bubba was there on the second one along with Paul Heyman, Tommy Dreamer and Spike. To this day, I have no respect nor do I like this individual. I\u2019m not going to go and put him on blast right now, but I don\u2019t care for him, so I just stay away from him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just know that we have come a long way. I\u2019m not going to sit here and cry over something that might have happened ten years ago, I just move on and make the best of it. Look at my career, I have nothing to be sad about, I have nothing to have any remorse about it. Bubba and I have become the greatest tag team of our era.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>If the Reverend D-Von run worked in the WWE:<\/b> &#8220;The singles run that I had in WWE, I thought it was great with the Reverend D-Von gimmick, I thought it went fantastic. But there were certain powers to be within the company that basically stopped it. I\u2019ve always said this, if you can get Vince [McMahon] at the right time and change his mind, it will be changed. I don\u2019t care how powerful that man thinks he is, I have seen it personally. He\u2019ll be dead set on something, someone comes in and changes his mind and it was over, and I felt like that\u2019s what happened with me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve always said, if the Reverend D-Von gimmick didn\u2019t work, then Triple H would have never laid down for me on Smackdown. Not only did he lay down, but the man gave me 50\/50 of a match. If he didn\u2019t believe in the gimmick, he would have never done that. Not to mention, I\u2019m hitting promos with Vince the first time out, the people were reacting, the whole nine. It was definitely somebody in Vinces ear that stopped it. Which is fine and ok because TNA gave me the singles run with Aces and Eights and the television title and I had a blast with it and loved every bit of it.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"prowr-901365188\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>Being surprised that Impact Wrestling is still alive:<\/b> &#8220;When we left TNA, we thought TNA was over. Had no idea that it was going to resurge and come back again. I was damn proud to hear them come back. We all know that we cannot let Vince McMahon have the monopoly because if he did, we are all in trouble. Thank God for companies like AEW and of course Impact, still going strong. I love it, regardless they are still going along and still trucking. Regardless of how many nails were put in the coffin they busted it wide open and &#8220;we\u2019re not going anywhere, we\u2019re staying right here&#8221; and I was very happy to see that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On getting to reunite Team 3D this weekend:<\/b> &#8220;I didn\u2019t think I would ever be able to wrestle again. Then when I got cleared, I was like &#8216;Okay, here we go,&#8221; and I was pretty excited. I never thought I\u2019d be getting back in the ring with Bubba on this level again. I just thought maybe it would just be independent shows or what have you. So, when I found out that I was going to be on the 1000th episode, I went down to my wrestling school and I just started bumping around and testing it out (his back). At first it was scary, because I hadn\u2019t taken a bump in seven years. It was kind of like taking a bump for the first time like when I first started my career. Not going to lie, it was probably the scariest part of my life ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Other topics include whether he will have another singles run, his run with Aces and Eights, tag teams paying tribute to the Dudleys, and what he was most proud of having a hand in backstage.<\/i><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3021933498\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":42270,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,8,2,4],"tags":[5016,1101,86,923,1306,776,58,56,101],"class_list":["post-137221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tna_news","category-interview_highlights","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-bad-news-brown","tag-d-von-dudley","tag-impact-wrestling","tag-junkyard-dog","tag-team-3d","tag-tony-atlas","tag-triple-h","tag-vince-mcmahon","tag-wwe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
