<b>Q. </b>What were your thoughts on going to ECW?

<b>A. </b>Vince said it would be the wrestling company, when I got there I have no one to work with. I have RVD&Sabu with chairs, Sandman with his cane. I made Sabu look good without gimmicks. I was happy, Sabu did his part but then who else can I work with. I was an agent on the road and the guys were getting upset because they felt insulted. I wanted to teach them and give them stuff to work on. They didn't want to listen, I have a gift and could have helped them but I just couldn't get that through their heads. Well I wasn't happy either so I quit doing that. Then they started the entire cross promotion and that was idiotic to me. I don't use gimmicks, I tell a story by wrestling and I do it better than anyone else. Overexposure is a problem, 5-chair shots kills reality and no one believes anything anymore. I was never given a chance to be the new face of ECW, RVD was and he DID deserve it. I was so happy for him, I didn't want the title, and I wanted to have great matches. I wasn't on Summerslam because there was no one for me to work. I am being honest there.

<b>Q. </b>When yuu first got into wrestling WWE was really hot. Now you are at a place trying to get TNA to a new level. What do you feel they have to do to accomplish that?

<b>A. </b>The 6-sided ring is a great thing first of all. I don't run ropes that often anyway. TNA just needs to keep doing what they are doing and Jarrett has done a good job as champion. I saw TNA coming, I saw them growing and I wanted to make history. I never got to do that in WWE, but I got paid well. I just saw so much room for growth for TNA, and if they can stay with the basics and use the talents of Vince Russo and Myself to the fullest we will rise to the tops. There are 3-4 guys in this company that WILL be better than me. I have always wanted to make history and now I have my chance here. There is room for 2-companies to succeed. TNA is back to basics, non-stop action and wrestling. Going back to basics is what can take us to the top. Great stories, great matches. Not live sex shows and ass kissing. TNA is doing what they can and it is doing well. Sure they are primitive as compared to Vince, but in the next 2-years they will have to have more employees and a head quarters like WWE. Spike loves TNA and will help TNA. There is a marketing machine in place, and we could see another ratings war and I think TNA is not a gimmick company that gets some numbers and goes under. TNA wants me long term and I will be here long term. I want us to stay with Spike and if we do, and the synergy gets even stronger TNA will continue to accomplish new ground!
