“They called me a bunch of times. What I told them was this; I’ve really had to work to get back to where I’m at right now … To make money, you have to sell a lot of tickets to put people in seats. And I want to be in front of some really big crowds again. And not just ten or twenty thousand people, but I think I’ve got one or two shows left in me where I could get seventy or eighty thousand people in an arena. And you can’t do that with TNA. And you’re never going to be able to do it with TNA. Now, if it was just for the money … but it’s not just for the money. One is for the money and the other is for self-gratification. I know what I’m worth and I know what I’m capable of doing, and I’d really be handcuffing myself to work for TNA.”

Sid also shared his feelings on Ric Flair

“I have to commend the guy. For anyone who has worked so hard as he has done pretty well for himself inside the business. He hasn’t done very well outside the business. But he’s one of those people who had to stay in the business until he’s sixty years old, because he’s never saved any money. But you have to take your hat off to the guy for being able to take that physical wear and tear as long as he has. I would not want to be in the ring looking like he does, but if I could stay seriously in shape I would like to work until I’m sixty as well.”

Vicious stated that he only wishes to wrestle for another two or three years before possibly transitioning to the creative side of the business. However, Sid seems very pleased with how his career has played out overall:

“In the last ten or fifteen years in this business, not many people have been as successful as I have. I’ve had successful runs everywhere I’ve went. Almost as long as I’ve been in the business I’ve been successful … Anytime where I’ve been put in the position where I could be successful, I have. And I’ve been more successful than Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, Rock, and all those guys. Those guys right there I just mentioned only had one great run. They didn’t have a bunch of good runs, they only had one. And that’s the difference between me and a lot of different people.”
