During the June 16th edition of the Countdown To Raw show on The Score in Canada, host Glenn Schiiler interviewed Vince McMahon. Below are some of the comments.

GS: Canadian fans aren't eligible to win your millions, but I think people in this country still want to know. How did this idea come about? Did you just wake up one morning and say "You know what? I feel like giving away some money!"?

VM: Quite frankly, that's about it. I mean the things that come out of my head sometimes...sometimes even I can't believe them and this is not necessarily one of my better ideas, giving away my personal money, and it's a total of a million dollars every Monday night. Last week, we had one lady from Texas win $2 and we had another gentleman from Wisconsin win $250,000 and I must admit it gave me more pleasure to give away the $2 than it did the $250,000.

GS: You can see why people may think you're vindictive or mean-spirited when you get more joy out of the $2.

VM: No, I don't think I'm vindictive at all. It's just what I enjoy.

GS: You said you want to attract new fans to your product with this giveaway, but you're also inviting back former fans who have tuned out over the years, so I ask you this...what does the WWE product of 2008 have to entice people who watched during the Hulkamania years or during the Attitude era when superstars like Steve Austin and The Rock were on top?

VM: It's a different program and, at the same time, it's very similar. It's still an action adventure. It's still...I won't use the word comedy, but we do humor. It's still a rock 'n' roll environment. It's still a soap opera. It's still action in terms of athleticism...so it's all those things and there's nothing like it on television. It's a variety show for sure. We've been in business for a zillion years and, every Monday night on USA and on The Score, we're there. We travel all over the country...a matter of fact, all over the world, producing and we're live every Monday night and there's so few shows like that. A matter of fact, we have more episodes than any prime time episodic program ever and that includes Gunsmoke and Lassie and things of that nature. We've blown away everybody. We're like 750 some odd episodes and counting.

GS: You're bringing back the WWE Draft, which is coming up next week on The Score. What was behind that decision?

WM: We don't do that necessarily every year, but I think we will in the future. It shakes things up. It refreshens the product and we have some major moves planned. It's a good thing. I think everyone looks forward to that because you don't know where the superstars or your favorite ones are going or which ones are coming, which issues are resolved, which ones are left open, so it's an exciting show.
