I\u2019d love to come back for a Royal Rumble or something like that. I mean you never say never. I feel like they could potentially reach out again at some point. But I\u2019m kind of at the point where at this point I feel like I have been exiled to a certain point. We\u2019ve seen it happen in the past. Like I said, never say never, they could reach out to me for something. I\u2019ve just kind of taken it off my list of goals at this point. I\u2019m focusing on the NWA and my education. It would be an exciting thing, but when you haven\u2019t been reached out to in that period of time, it feels like that\u2019s it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On Bobby Lashley now using his old finisher, The Master Lock:<\/b> &#8220;I\u2019ve talked to MVP about this. It only makes sense. If anybody is going to use the Full Nelson, the guy who broke it and a guy who is a physical force like Bobby Lashley. It only makes sense. It\u2019s funny when he first started using it. All the mentions of people saying \u2018That\u2019s The Master Lock, not The Hurt Lock.\u2019 I\u2019d be lying if I didn\u2019t say it didn\u2019t create an opportunity, even if it was small. You know, whose got the best Full Nelson in professional wrestling. But it has been ten years, and finishers are recycled in less time than that. But for no one to use the Full Nelson for ten years. But yeah, Master Lock vs. Hurt Lock, that makes sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Plans for him to become the youngest WWE Champion:<\/b> \u201cI think early on, I was considered for a lot of stuff. I was supposed to win the Intercontinental Title but then the intervention happened, so it didn\u2019t happen. I was supposed to win the Tag Titles with Carlito on the WrestleMania where we worked Big Show and Kane. But that got switched the day of, because of a change of plans, which happens. That\u2019s one thing you learn about wrestling, you don\u2019t count your chickens before they hatch. Before something actually happens, you don\u2019t count on it. There was a pre-taped shot with Vince and me where Vince alluded to me being the youngest WWE Champion of all time. This was even after Randy had won it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know they were considering [John] Cena and me for an angle. I think probably looking back, if anything I think Cena might have shot that down. I don\u2019t think Cena was too happy working with me around that time. [Chris asks why] I could have good matches with HBK [Shawn Michaels], but I felt Cena thought he had to lead me. It\u2019s probably because I was new and stuff like that. It was just a little bit more difficult ring chemistry wise. I don\u2019t even know that for sure. But I was working a lot with Shawn Michaels and I was working a lot with John Cena in the house shows. Shawn was an easier match, but how many years experience did he have? As over as John was, we both started at the same time. I think the lack of experience was the big thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Going to rehab for his addiction to painkillers:<\/b> &#8220;I had to go to rehab in my first WWE run. When I came out of rehab, I was lighter. Everyone thought I was on steroids, but it wasn\u2019t. I had a prescription pill issue, which a lot of people have had in the business. When I was in rehab, I would wake up every morning and I would go on this two-mile run. But for someone like me to do something like that, it was for my sanity. By the time I left I had lost 15-20 lbs. I came back slimmer, and I hadn\u2019t really thought about it [the weight loss]. Because I was in rehab, I had much deeper issues. When I came back to WWE, I heard a little bit of chatter. Then I felt some pressure to put on 10 lbs. and eat a little more. The reaction was enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>On working for NWA:<\/b> &#8220;That\u2019s the wrestling I grew up on. I know that wrestling has evolved over the years, but I think that there are some things that should still stay the same. You know the selling, the storytelling and all that stuff. It\u2019s not to say I don\u2019t love the new stuff too. These guys are doing stuff and high spots that we thought we would never see. When you watch NWA, the guys don\u2019t look contemporary to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-3347494403\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\"
