@@garyhen2028 his last match where he injured the poster boys ruined his relations with wwe. WWE is not what it used to be after They pushed their "poster boys" WWE does not deserve good people wrestlers.

Same thing as they said when Ritchie Valens Buddy Holly Big Bopper died so did the music.

Sux that he was that close to being world champion, he so deserved it. It was cool to hear you guys talking about the wrestling vs entertainment dynamic. I must say I like them both... I can appreciate a Rock/Hogan, Hogan/Warrior but I can also appreciate an Omega/Okada, Benoit/Guerrero, FTR/Briscoes, HBK/Undertaker match.

This was a great interview. I wasn't watching much WWE in the early 2000s, so I have only caught bits and pieces of his WWE run. He is very humble, and seems to take ownership of the things that happened in his past. I would love to see him get a run and finally hold the title, even if it is just a quick run. He should get that chance. He definitely could still be a star, especially given how thin WWE's roster is right now.
