I\u2019m done with that. Shaquille O\u2019Neal just texted me today and said, \u2018You need to come to AEW.\u2019 I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not going to do that.\u2019 Actually, if I did wrestle again, it would be most likely for WWE, but I\u2019m not going to do that. AEW was always an option, I just never really considered it because I\u2019m retired. I\u2019ve heard the rumors. That\u2019s what they are. They\u2019re just rumors. People like to talk. They like to get excited about things, and, unfortunately, that\u2019s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p><b>The headbutt he gave Samoa Joe in Angle\u2019s TNA debut:<\/b> I told Joe I was going to give him a real headbutt and he said, \u2018Bring it on\u2019. I brought it on and I cut him open. It was the hard way. I think he was a little pissed off. He got up, partly because of his character, he was behind me, stalking me, and he had this pissed off look on his face. But you know, if you know Joe, you know he was really pissed at that too. It was a great moment. Joe and I had incredible chemistry. We had the highest PPV buy rate in TNA history with that match. I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to draw that many PPV buys. It definitely was an incredible moment.<\/p>\n<p><b>Angle on whether he is happy with his last WWE run:<\/b> Yes and no [I was happy with my last run]. If they would\u2019ve started me out wrestling when I returned, I was ready. I was wrestling consistently. Even when I took a year off, I went on the indie circuit and kept myself busy, kept myself in shape because I knew WWE was gonna call on me and so yeah, I was a little disappointed. I thought that, you know, being a top talent like I was, I thought that I would get a possible title run and I didn\u2019t come anywhere close to that.<\/p>\n<p><b>Vince McMahon is the best wrestler ever:<\/b> What you see on TV with Vince [McMahon] isn\u2019t the real Vince. He likes to ham it up a bit and you know, that\u2019s his thing. He\u2019s the best wrestler in history. In other words, when he wrestles, everybody watches. He does these looks with his eyes when he\u2019s going crazy and he\u2019s mad.<\/p>\n<p><i>Other topics include his entire WWE run, his entire TNA run, Jeff Jarrett, Sting, Samoa Joe, Chris Benoit as his favorite opponent, Brock Lesnar, addiction, retirement and so much more.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>You can listen to other shows apart of the TMPT Empire including Shane Douglas\u2019 Triple Threat Podcast, Taking You to School with Dr. Tom Prichard, Talking Tough with Rick Bassman, Taskmaster Talks with Kevin Sullivan, Pro Wrestling 101 with Justin Credible and the University of Dutch with Dutch Mantell.
