DDP: I've done that and I had to restrict it because the stuff I've done is too stiff. My lawyer said 'you can't say s--t like that.' I just breathe and move on. I can't even put the b---h over.
Wrestling INC: Back to WrestleMania XXX, did you get a chance to watch the entire event?
DDP: I was on the floor, where I wanted to be. I'm a big supporter of Daniel Bryan, and have been talking about him before his s--t took off huge. I remember [Wrestling INC] wrote that I compared him to Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. This was almost two years ago and the way he lost to the big great white [Sheamus], f--k eat him in seconds, looked like the worst thing that could ever happen to him. It turned out for the best. It made the people more pissed.
Wrestling INC: It was almost a turning point and that felt like the moment when people started getting behind Bryan and it's got him to the place he is now. I don't think it was programmed that way, but it ended working in favor of Bryan. While we're on the topic of WrestleMania XXX, what was your reaction to seeing the Undertaker's streak end?
DDP: Undertaker's a smart guy and knew he was getting to the end of his career. Undertaker's not the guy that can phone it in— especially at WrestleMania. If you look at every one of his matches at WrestleMania, they're stellar. He gives everything and it's way harder on his body at 6'8''. I think he wanted to retire two or three years ago. But when he shot the UFC angle, after Brock lost the heavyweight title [at UFC 121], had Brock won that match they would have gone on to do WrestleMania [that year]. I'm certain. If Brock had been the UFC champion, there was no way he was putting Undertaker over. I think Undertaker designed it for a tough guy to win. Brock has to be one of the baddest son b---h out there. Who can do both and having Paul Heyman is awesome for him. Brock can talk, but having Paul puts more heat on him no matter what. Brock cut a promo after a UFC win asking, 'how do you like me now?' That's one of the best lines in UFC history. Brock Lesnar is the biggest draw in UFC history. He has the personality and is a real tough guy.
Wrestling INC: As a fan, did you want the Undertaker to retire with the undefeated streak or have someone break it?
DDP: In our business we do pass on, hence the Montreal Screwjob. It's part of the business. Undertaker doesn't need to be champion. There are only a handful of wrestlers undefeated at WrestleMania, I being one of them at 1-0.
Wrestling INC: Being involved with WrestleMania XXX and all the actives, did you get the bug to return? I know you've said you didn't want to be back. Did being there change anything?
DDP: No, I'll show up at an indie show and give someone the Diamond Cutter to get the people popping. I can't get hurt. I know what it takes and I never phoned one match in. I was bumping all over the place in my 40s— when I got over. When I was 46, I wrestled Christian [at WrestleMania 18] in a damn good match. I put it against any match under 10 minutes.
Wrestling INC: I was wondering what's next for DDP YOGA?
DDP: I'm in the process of negotiating for a building I was hoping to have opened by our third anniversary in December. But I was worried more about where we were headed online. We're hoping to introduce our app. Our goal is to make the app the Netflix of fitness. DDP YOGA for senior citizens 65 and up is another new workout. My daughter Britney will be teaching a workout. There will be lots online that people won't be able to get anywhere else. We're going to show how to track food consumption. Some cooking shows are planned. Live pieces will be shot, maybe from the WWE Performance Center. The building we're building will house are edit booths. We're editing three movies at the time. This was designed to inspire people. It's about health, fitness, and food. People want to eat healthier and don't know how because of all the bulls--t that the government has allowed the corporations to do. Monster corporations back Democrats and Republicans, so they lose nothing. They own every senator, congressmen, governor, and president. At least in wrestling, we tell you it's a work.
