Has he talked to The Superfly in recent months:
I was talking to him on the phone until he started having his medical issues. I haven’t spoken to him in a while. His wife wanted me to see him when I’m up in New Jersey and she wanted me to say hello to him and kind of perk up his spirits.
Who does he side with in the former contracted wrestlers suing Vince McMahon over injury negligence:
I would have to be more for the personal responsibility. Although we were getting run really hard. I don’t know, but I guess I would follow (Dan) Spivey where you have to take responsibility for yourself. I just saw a tape of Led Zeppelin doing Stairway to Heaven and Jimmy Page and the four of them and I think the girl from Heart was doing it too and they are all still surviving. So if Led Zeppelin is still going then a lot of wrestlers should be. I think though I have to agree with Danny Spivey and you have to take personal responsibility for yourself when it comes to addiction and taking care of your bread. We are all afforded the opportunity to make money and when you lose it and you are knocked off your high horse you want to blame somebody else.
His World Title matches vs. Hulk Hogan:
When the Hulkster used to come down my skin used to “pop” too for “Eye of the Tiger”. I’ve said this before but I realize with all of the racial stuff that he got caught with that previous to that, I’ve read in the wrestling underground media as it is Hulk and The Ultimate Warrior and a couple of those guys were such horrible workers and such boring performers. They were doing fabulous business. Sometimes I think it’s a little in jest that they get criticized for someone not liking somebody’s style but not everyone works like Ray Stevens or Dory Funk Jr. because they are probably the two greatest. Look at all the success Bruno had and his style wasn’t the greatest, you look at the results. When you hold Hogan to those standards it seems like the “underground” goes around calling Hogan a bum but I was going around those times when everybody was fat. Even after I left, he just kept going. Those were good times.
Hulk Hogan’s racist comments going public:
Honestly, I was never a part of his clique so I don’t have a dog in the fight. I was never a part of his clique with the guys they used to fawn around him and kiss his ass for work and for bookings and for places on the card. He always seemed though to be one of the guys, kind of. Even though he wasn’t because he was “The Hulk”. He had the TV, the NBC, the movies and everyone coming after him. I never did see or saw him as a racist or a bigot or anything. He got caught. It was stupid for a guy that spends that much time talking publicly like we are talking now for a person that spends that much time being taped it was dumb and pretty insensitive. I don’t know if he was secretly being taped or what the story is but still with all the political correctness and stuff going down now you have to watch your p’s and q’s all the time.
