On his controversial booking during the Android angle
>"I can't say I was happy about it. Originally it was supposed to be Goku eating a pin from the Androids to setup a redemption arc, I was supposed to swoop in and save him. Goku tore his ACL early in the Android 19 fight so they went ahead with the heart virus angle to write him off and recover, I was just collateral damage. I petitioned hard to lose to 17 but they had apparently just put together all the house show circuits for Piccolo and 17, and I wasn't going to take a pay cheque away from Piccolo and sure as shit wasn't going to take away the experience from 17, so I volunteered to eat the pin for 18. It was all about building up the best possible PPV possible and while the main event of Piccolo and 17 didn't draw as well as it could have with Goku's injury, for a BPV it absolutely over delivered. Tremendous matchup"
On his sidelining during the Cell angle
>"Got in the best shape of my life. Run the house shows with Cell to get him up to speed for the Goku match. Had my job and I did it. Am I disappointed that after the carrying I did while Goku was injured I didn't get a match at the Cell Games? Hell yes. Lots of money involved there. I headlined a filler PPV against Cell and it was a decent pay day but the big money was always going to be in the Cell Games PPV. Goku and Gohan each got enough to pay off their mortgages and I had to sit at the sidelines for a run in. It was a little disrespectful but on discussion with Toriyama we planned out my heel run in the Buu angle so it worked out in the end"
