        more.

       On Samoa Joe: “I had a great conversation Monday night with
       @SamoaJoe for a future podcast. Joe is one of the most
       intelligent and perceptive athletes that I’ve spoken with on our
       podcast and I certainly hope that WWE signs him as he could be
       invaluable in multiple areas for the wrestling side of the
       company IMO. It was the first time that we had talked in over a
       decade when I told him that, at that time, he wasn’t ready to be
       signed to a WWE contract to which Joe said motivated him and
       that he respected my honesty. Over the years I’ve become a big
       fan of his physical style but him getting trained in the
       Japanese style of wrestling helped him a great deal to become
       the star that he is today.”
       On Sting: “Great seeing Sting on WWE TV which, for the longest
       time, I thought would likely never occur. Steve Borden is one of
       the best men in the biz and has always been a class act and one
       of my favorite people to work with over the years including his
       early days working in Mid South for Cowboy Bill Watts. I am
       beyond thrilled to see Sting finally get his ‘WrestleMania
       Moment’ this year as it is well earned and will be a moment that
       I will personally celebrate with The Stinger. Good things do
       often times happen to good people even in the wacky world of
       ‘rasslin.”
       On Larry Zbyszko and Kevin Nash in the WWE Hall Of Fame: “Happy
       for Larry Zybszko going into the WWE HOF with Bruno Sammartino
       set to induct him. We all have our mentors and Bruno was Larry’s
       and the two Pittsburghers made money and had excellent matches
       together including the much ballyhooed Shea Stadium event back
       in the day. Larry was one of the more underrated broadcasters to
       work in the wrestling biz, too. Sounds as if Kevin Nash will be
       the final inductee into the 2015 WWE HOF class and for that I’m
       happy. When Kevin couldn’t get the time of day when he first
       started in WCW, I used him my WSB Sunday night radio show and
       everyone soon found out that the former Tennessee Vol could talk
       and talk well. We’ve been friends ever since.
