"No. I think he wants to do it as a personal goal. When I was trying to hire him after WCW closed, he was owed so much money by Time Warner he would have been foolish to have come worked for us. I feel like he should be in the WWE Hall Of Fame even if he doesn't wrestle a match. If the WWE is what they say they are, they are the gatekeepers for the business now. You shouldn't have a 20 year career in the WWE to qualify, and when he goes in you should maximize that chance."
A Sting vs. The Undertaker dream match:
"As it's working out now, that dream match with the Undertaker doesn't exist anymore. A match with Undertaker was to try and beat the streak, so that mystique is over. That whole attraction of Undertakers streak is now a DVD. It's over. You can't replicate that. Stings opponent could be a lot of things. It could be a hot shot heel. I'm not big on him having to win his last match. If he wins, great. If he doesn't, well as far as I know him, he could care less. Him winning his last match isn't the issue. Him building up his last match, him being a part of the program, the promotion, the hype and finally being able to have that entrance and performing at Wrestlemania, that's the end game. Maybe you could have that match with Undertaker and have that be a one off where both of them retire and go out guns blazing. 'You were the guy up here (WWE) I was the guy down there (WCW) I just want to know who was best'. No returns, no returns, no appearance on Raw the night after, that's it. I think they can have a great presentation. On the other side, you could have a hot young heel like Seth Rollins for example. Have him take a beating from Sting and have Rollins go over in the end. There's so many ways to go about this, but bottom line is he deserves the opportunity. Austins not going to be there to wrestle. I highly doubt The Rock will be, so what are you gonna do?"
The Undertaker's Streak ending:
"If you listen to my podcast, Shawn Michaels explains the whole story. The decision was made 4 hours before Wrestlemania started by Vince McMahon after sitting down and talking to Undertaker. I'm thinking it was to promote the network, which is the be all end all to WWE right now. They need to get subscribers."
Brock Lesnar vs. John Cena:
"I do fantasy booking on my podcast. Brock Lesnar is going to win the title at Summerslam. He's going to be put into beast mode until April. At the Royal Rumble Roman Reigns will win the Rumble and Lesnar will pass the torch to Reigns at Wrestlemania. Reigns isn't ready now. He needs to be protected now and the producers on the road have to work with him and coach him up. He has to be ready in April. He's good enough now to win the Royal Rumble. I think that Lesnar is in beast mode and is not touched until April. He has to be booked like a heel but when he is working with Cena, there is going to be a tremendous amount of people cheering for Brock Lesnar. You can't have that trend continue. He has to be a heel. You don't want him going into Wrestlemania 31 as a face. That's what I would do and I don't care if wrestling fans are like 'that's predictable. I won't watch!' Yes you will."
