At the end of the day, when you are in the front office, your tenure is dictated by the people surrounding you.
I do not get involved in the game to think that it is a future transition for me getting back into the ring. It was not my intention. I've stated many times that I did it for my son.
The relationship with WWE obviously has gotten better because after my name has been shoved down their throats from 2K [Games] for the past years, they finally passed off on it. They finally okayed it.
Aside from doing publicity for this film [The Longest Yard], I have Auto Maniac coming on the History Channel and since I got married recently, we are going to get to that Honeymoon we had to put off.
What kind of moron would go to work for half the amount of money, when they could sit at home and collect what's written in a contract?
At the end of the day you go out and do your job and follow your directions.
The cutthroat part of it is that professional wrestling has no union. There are a number of people that are taken advantage of on a daily basis.
The fact is that I made a stand a number of times in my career, and I did it because I knew I was right.
Whether I was a character in WCW, WWE or The Longest Yard, you want to be able to - the best part about myself is that I have a very wide range of emotions in that one second I can be speaking on Capital Hill about dog fighting and giving them a voice, which they can't obviously speak for themselves.
I think Donald Trump would be a horrible President.
I spar with 18-year-old kids that try to kick my ass all the time. As far as going in and doing a wrestling match, I think that pales in comparison, but it's a totally different thing. It's completely different. You have to condition your body.
As far as the path of [Bill] Goldberg and all his ultimate success, I don't think any of that was planned. It was all organic. All of it was so different.
I am a competitor and always have that itch until the day I die, but I won't let the itch supersede being a businessman.
I was a football player and competitor in life.
