On wrestlers listening to fans online:
>We’ve got too many guys in our business that rely on the opinion of some fan who thinks he’s smart. It’s a real issue for me
>It would be like a doctor going home and getting medical advice from random people who have posted something on the net. You know, our guys are the worst for it – they tell the fans what’s going to happen. Some of the Wrestlers are marks, you know, they’re catering for the guys on the Internet! ‘Please say I’m good…say something good about me…I’ll tell you anything you want to know…’
What has changed about pro wrestling:
>"I believe this has lead to the degradation of the business of professional wrestling, is that it's far too easy to become a professional wrestler. The access, it's an open door policy now. Back in the day, and I've tried to explain this to people before and they just can't relate, it was easier to become a main man in the mafia than it was to become a professional wrestler... The reason was that ninety-eight percent of the wrestlers at that time, the only thing they did to make a living, the only way they could survive, the only way they fed their families was wrestling. They didn't have another job."
Thoughts on wrestlers using X to air grievances:
> “It shouldn’t be a venue to air gripes or complaints, by no means. The wrestling business was a closed business for a very long time (Jimmy can attest to this). It’s kinda like remember when you were a kid, and you were at home and something would happen within your family and it was never spoken outside of the house because it was your family. It was nobody else’s business because nobody else could appreciate or understand the situation, and therefore, would pass judgment on something they really didn’t have a part in. Because at the end of the day, the only people who are gonna have to go to bed with it and wake up with it are you and your family – and that’s kinda like the wrestling business.”
