<b>A. </b>Sure, but I would have been successful anywhere. I had offers from everywhere, and I took his offer, which was the lowest. I could have done MMA, WCW, Japan and or movies. I do thank him sure, but I was thrown into the fire and I thank Patterson and Brisco and myself for the success I got. I would never trade my life for my career.

<b>Q. </b>What was it like dealing with the crazy WWE travel schedule?

<b>A.</b> Well my wife was always right and said not to buy into the WWE BS. It caused a lot of problems between us and we separated, I almost lost her and my family. No one in WWE cared about that, hell if I was single they could have used me more I was told. I won't say Vince planned that stuff that way, but he didn't do anything to help me either. What I will say is that if you are going to be my boss, please respect me and my family and give me time to heel. Dixie cares more about us and out families than she does about the wrestling. She wants us to succeed, but not at the cost of losing a family over it. I don't think Vince spends more than 10-days a year with his kids, I feel Linda raised the children. To me God is first, family second and my career third.

<b>Q. </b>You are the new face of TNA, and it was Christian before you. Who do you think would be another great fit in TNA?

<b>A. </b>Chris Benoit. The only problem there is he has a 5-year deal. The man is a machine, and if we had him we could be over the top. He would be a great teacher and mentor here in TNA. These guys are so good, so good they don't even realize it. With out without Benoit we can do it, but he would be my choice.

<b>Q. </b>When you promo hit on PPV I was really surprised. Were you surprised that there was a lot of negative reaction because people cared about you health?

<b>A. </b>I can't tell you what I expected. I was pretty happy over all, especially with the live reaction. As far as my health, basically I would like to thank the audience and I have a lot of respect for them. I was happy to see that they cared about me, that is moving. I can reassure them that I am 100% healthy and there are no serious issues. I am back and completely focused and will do my best to make TNA #1 in wrestling. I have heard all the feedback from them, I took it all to heart and even talked to my wife about it. My heart and her tells me I can still go and I will do that. I am a spiritual guy and God has told me I am not done quite yet. WWE gave mea lot, but they never let me really carry the ball. My doctors felt there was no problem with a return. I was totally checked out and got blood work, and they said I was all clear to go. I have been training hard and am ready to go.
