Lio Rush, this little guy is a perfect heel manager, updated for modern times.

The fans in Lake Charles, La., were crazy. The Freebirds would get their tires cut, so they started driving to the police station and having the police bring them to the show. The fans then cut the tires on the police car that brought The Freebirds.

Even if people that I was in love with - even if Bobby Fulton inherited a billion dollars and opened All Elite Wrestling, I was never going to be the manager of The Revival on a weekly television basis ever because that would require me being on the road on a weekly basis.

I had always in the past thought The Ultimate Warrior was the epitome of a guy making money with no talent.

I went on a diet and went from 248 pounds to 211.

The way that you teach wrestling is by finding good talent that you think can learn and putting them in the ring with a variety of other good talents who have experience and giving them the opportunity to pick things up.

The biggest thing I want to do is not travel as much as possible. I enjoy not traveling very much.

People naturally want to see two interesting people - one that they're predisposed possibly to like and one that they're predisposed to dislike - have a fight and see who wins.

'Bullet' Bob was one of the most important parts of Smoky Mountain from the start. He was a retired wrestling legend and talked better than anyone on the roster.

I've seen inside fans' houses, and they would have pictures of Jesus on the wall, and next to it would be a picture of The Rock 'n' Roll Express. That's no lie.

I would love to see TNA get a developmental program.

But wrestling used to be the same as boxing or mixed martial arts. It used to be about conflict, having a fight, who's going to win.

It's said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. In that case, the WWE 'creative' team must be as crazy as a rainbow trout in a car wash.

I've always been a fan of Bobby Roode's.

I had to spend eleven months in the same room with Vince Russo and Vince McMahon, that's where I really got to hate life in general.

Eddie Marlin was a big deal for a long time to a lot of people.

Wrestling has gotten so show-biz, it's to the point where people scoff at it.

I'm not looking to be a superstar. That's why I'm positioned as the face of TNA.

I was a big fan of The Revival when they were in NXT. I thought they were as good as Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson.

Between the '80s with The Midnight Express and the '90s with The Heavenly Bodies, and then in the 2000s on the reunions with The Midnights, I think only Bobo Brazil and The Sheik had a longer-running rivalry.

I'm kind of off modern wrestling. I want somebody to step up and impress me.

You have to look like an athlete and you have to look like you could whip somebody. And let's face it, unfortunately Shawn Michaels couldn't whip anybody in a real fight as proven with every single fight he's ever gotten into with everybody in the business.

I spent the majority of my adult life in a business where the object is to make people believe that you believe what you say. I was good at that, right?

MMA and the UFC have taken all of the pro wrestling fans because it's pro wrestling from 30 years ago, just in an Octagon and the fights happen to be real. But they're marketed exactly the same way.

Modern day wrestlers are fans of the performance of wrestling instead of the concept of wrestling.
