A: "I never said exactly that in the foreword, what I said is this tale that happens from 1990-1999. This was a guy who I knew during that time who was very personal, professional relations, like a mentor, a big brother. And I wanted to address that because it's a very humorous, comedic, positive, uplifting story. With all the events happening, I felt I had to address it somehow so there wouldn't be a big black cloud hanging over it when people were reading it; wrestling fans and non-wrestling fans. I wanted to address it right off the bat. It was really quite irrelevant to my story. My story ends in 1999, but still Benoit is a pretty prominent character in the book and I felt I had to address it. How did I feel about it, how did you feel about it? It's just one of those things where nobody knows what happened and nobody will ever know what happened.
Q: Exactly. He was one of my favorite professional wrestlers and I always say you got to remember him for what he did in the ring. Nobody knows, or at least I don't know what happened in his personal life and it's not for us to judge.

Unfortunately this weekend, we have heard the news of the sad death of women's wrestling legend the Fabulous Moolah. Do you have any memories about her? Maybe a funny story to tell?
A: "Her and Mae always would always come sporadically from time to time. Moolah was a very nice lady to me. I didn't really have a lot of experiences with her, but whenever I saw her I always made sure to say hi. She always wanted to get a kiss and a hug, and talk about how handsome I was…she was right, I'm a sexy beast. She was really cool. I think it's just one of those things that people in the modern era just know her as being the wacky sidekick to Mae Young or the wacky old lady that came but don't really realize that she's the most influential and ambiguous women's wrestler of all-time and was for 30 or 40 years. She ran the entire women's wrestling operation from the 50's all the way to the 80's...
There's a huge history of Moolah. I'd love to read a real story of all the things that she did and went through. I'm sure there are a lot of deviant things since she was in charge of the entire wrestling world for women for so many years. In the 50's and 60's, women's wrestling was much more prominent than it is now; much more serious than just a bunch of stripper chicks getting in the ring and rolling around and thinking they can wrestle. I mean these girls were actually fighting, actually working, and in some cases having better matches than the guys and drawing a lot of money too. I'd like to hear some of those real truthful stories about Moolah. Nice lady, I'm glad she was involved in the business until the end, I think Vince was very adamant about it, because he respected what she did."
