On who helped him out in his early days with the company:“First, Owen Hart, and then second, Billy Gunn was one. Yeah, Billy cold-blooded. But, you know what, it was a bunch of guys. Just being in the Nation [of Domination], Dwayne, or The Rock, was of those [people] that I never thought in a million years that we would stay friends because he got me fined more times than anybody I know. He was in the mirror [saying], ‘I have to put on special face cream.’ So we were late all the time and we would get fined. I had a bunch of people who kinda looked out for me. You know, gave me the words of wisdom.”
On learning from the Rock:“Even though [The Rock] was in the business the same amount of time as I was at that time, I mean I had a four-month jump on him, but he grew up in wrestling. So, he knew the protocols, he knew like ‘don’t do this,’ and ‘do that.’ I was a video game head and I liked sports games and stuff like that… so, [The Rock] was like, ‘This is what you do.’ And I was like, wow, I did it, and stopped getting in trouble and started getting more pushed to the front of the line and the rest was history.”
