Rome asked if Johnson missed anything about wrestling: Johnson said he missed interacting with the crowd. He said a live crowd "keeps you on your toes." Rome followed up with the point that you didn't get that same immediate reaction from movies.

Johnson also had praise for current Miami Hurricanes coach Randy Shannon, calling him the "right man for the job." The interview ended with a plug for "The Game Plan", noting it would hit theatres at the end of the month.
