Discussing how Vince and Linda work together behind the scenes, Rhyno depicted them as a power couple who support and encourage one another.

"(T)he WWE?it's not just Vince," said Rhyno. "People think 'WWE equals Vince;' Him and Linda [McMahon], because I study where I go, I watch this and that, if it wasn't for Linda, there wouldn't be a Linda. If there wasn't a Vince, there wouldn't be a Linda. Then, there wouldn't be a WWE if it wasn't for guys like Pat Patterson. I mean, guys behind the scenes were just as important as the guys that were in front of the camera."

Recalling WWE's re-launch of ECW, Rhyno suggested it came down to a matters of demand and profit.

"So, obviously they did the math on paper and 'OK, we'll give this DVD a go,' and that was successful," he said. "Then, they did a show and that was very successful and Tommy Dreamer had his hands in on that. There's still a market and people crying out for that."

Rhyno shared some feelings regarding his time with the first incarnation of ECW as well as his original stint in WWE.

"The thing that I'm not happy with is I didn't take the time to enjoy it," he said. "I see that with a lot of young guys in wrestling. They don't stop, take a breath and enjoy it. It's sad because you look back and you're like 'Wow.' ?I don't say 'Oh, I wish I had a better push.' You know, I think I could have contributed more. I think I've learned in the last five years to say 'Hey, we can get more out of this, more out of that.'"
