Hulk Hogan Responds To CM Punk's Recent Comments - Interesting Read

Fighting Spirit Magazine is featuring another quote from a recent interview with TNA's Hulk Hogan where he is asked to respond to a recent promo by CM Punk on WWE television where he said, in character, that guys like Hulk Hogan and Bruno Sammartino "had it easy" during their respective reigns as WWE Champion.

"CM Punk never had to walk into a dressing room where he wasn't supposed to be. He never walked into Kansas City, where Harley Race was the champion for 20 years, where Harley had told all of his friends and neighbours that he was the only heavyweight champion, because he was the NWA champion. CM Punk never walked into Kemper Arena and had Harley Race put a gun to his head and say, 'Get out of my town, kid'.

"So, does CM Punk have it easier than me? When I was flying 300 days a year, doing double-shots (Editor's note: two shows in one day), and there was no Rock and no 'Stone Cold' around, but just me (as the main event guy) for the first 15 years? During the day, I was flying from New York and stopping in St. Louis, taking a TV station manager out to lunch, and then in the afternoon getting to the building early in another town, like Chicago, and cutting a TV deal before wrestling that night. So, no, I don't think I had it easier than him."

Hulk Hogan Says He Has A New Reality Show In The Works

Hulk Hogan claims he has a new realty TV show being set up.

He tweeted: "Very grateful for attracting a new reality show where I get to work with family and a few good friends that always wanted to be in show biz. I'll keep the Maniacs updated during the hard work make it real process."

He also responded to a question about "bashing" Bret Hart in an interview. He said: "Didn't bash him, but its funny how the interviewer changes words when he writes the story to sell it to you or anyone that believes anything that is written, but I understand that is the only view you are getting of the situation."

Speculation on WWE's RAW Response to Glenn Beck

One WWE source noted that they wouldn't be surprised if the whole Glenn Beck situation is what is saving Jack Swagger and his WrestleMania storyline following Tuesday night's arrest. WWE will likely go hard on the angle this Monday night. The source speculated that we may get a 2013 version of Vince McMahon challenging Eric Bischoff to a fight on RAW.

More on WWE Re-Writing This Coming Monday's RAW

We noted earlier that WWE officials weren't happy with Glenn Beck's response to their invite to RAW and that Stephanie McMahon had the WWE writers working late Friday night on Monday's script. It was noted that they may have a special segment planned to mock Beck on Monday's RAW.

Several fans have commented that this sounds like WWE mocking Denver Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke after the "Denver Debacle" scheduling conflict back in 2009. For what it's worth, the original note from Dave Meltzer on WWE re-writing Monday's RAW noted that the show was looking to be like a "Stan Kroenke edition." So a lot of fans were spot-on.

Photo: Former WWE and WCW Star Selling His Merchandise In NYC Subways

Deadspin.com has an article up about a wrestling fan meeting former WWE and WCW star Virgil in the New York City subway, where he is now selling his merchandise. From the fan's post on a Markedout.com message board:

"Yesterday I was on my way home from work. I was navigating the subway station just as I usually do, however something was different. Instead of the usual guys selling toys or making balloon dogs, there was The Man, The Myth, The Legend.... He had his usual stack of photos and 2 name placards. I was in such shock I doubled back, just so I could get this video for you guys."

"[W]hen I made the pass the first time I saw him talking to somebody holding their wallet and then the person began laughing and walked away."

Another fan saw Virgil earlier in Grand Central Station and noted that he was asking $20 for photos but was talked down to $5. Twitter user @Stadiuminsider posted this photo of Virgil in the subway:

More Details on Jack Swagger's Arrest and Possible Fines If Convicted

The Associated Press has released more details on the February 19th arrest of WWE Superstar Jack Swagger.

Their report notes that Swagger was pulled over for driving 10 mph over the speed limit and his car was towed and later released from custody to a friend of his that picked him up from the police station.

If Swagger is convicted, he faces fines of $188 for driving 10 mph over the speed limit, $437 for a small amount of marijuana and $1,300 for a first DUI offense. The DUI charge carries a mandatory court appearance and he could lose his driver's license for 90 days. Swagger could also face a maximum of two days in jail, but could avoid that by meeting stipulations such as counseling.

As noted earlier, the DUI charge will require Swagger to appear in court in Gulfport, MS on March 12th.

Could The Undertaker be at Wrestlemania?

As of just now WWE  will probably know The Undertakers decision. It is totally up to him at this point. He has been swaying back and forth on the matter. His health has been a  major concern over the last few years, but it is said he is in great health at the minute. This however does not mean he has ring fitness or sharpness to compete. No matter what his decision, WWE have plans in place.

If Taker decides to take part its believed he will interfere in the Cena vs CM Punk match on Monday and cost CM Punk the match. This would pave the way for their rivalry to start.

If Taker doesn't take part, sources have suggested that CM Punk will be added to The Rock vs Cena main event at Wrestlemania thus making the main event a triple threat for the new WWE Championship.

WWE Title Match CM Punk vs. The Rock (play by play)

WWE Title Match
If The Rock gets himself disqualified or counted out, CM Punk wins the title
CM Punk vs. The Rock


CM Punk is the first man to make his way out to the ring with Paul Heyman carrying the WWE Title and holding it up behind him. Punk definitely has his supporters, but it's not hard to see who this crowd will likely be rooting for.

Punk has himself introduced as the People's Champion, and he holds the title high above his head, walking around the ring and showing it off to all the fans in attendance. 

The Rock is out next and he gets a massive pop on his way into the arena.

After a slow formal ring introductions, and a reminder from Justin Roberts that if the Rock gets DQ'ed or counted out, he will lose the title, it's time for the main event. 

The bell rings and both men circle each other. Punk kicks at Rock before ducking a lock up. Punk continues to kick away at Rock before they finally lock up. Punk drops Rock with a shoulder block, and Punk is quick to celebrate. Another lock up and Punk clamps on a headlock. Rock pushes Punk off and is dropped with another shoulder block. Punk gloats again and Rock doesn't look too happy. A third lock up and another headlock from Punk leads to another push off, and a third shoulder block from Punk. This time Rock retaliates with a couple of arm drags before Punk bails to the outside. 

Punk gets back into the ring and slowly walks up to stare down the Rock. Rock and Punk have words before Punk slaps Rock. Rock hits Punk with a series of rights in the corner and Punk calls for more. The ref reminds Rock he'll be DQ'ed and lose the belt, but Rock continues with the rights before being pulled off again. Rock stops himself and Punk smiles before getting to his feet and spitting in Rock's face. Rock attacks and sends Punk to the outside, following and launching Punk into the barricade, then hitting a big clothesline. Rock slams Punk head first into the announcer's table before laying Punk out across the table. 

Punk rakes Rock's eyes and heads back into the ring. Rock follows and Punk catches him with a quick clothesline, then a neckbreaker. Punk places Rock in a rear chin lock and works over the champ. Rock fights to his feet, but Punk pulls him right down to the mat. Punk releases the hold and hits a couple of knee and elbow drops. Punk goes for the pin but is only able to get a two count, so he goes right back into the chin lock. 

Rock fights to his feet and out of the hold, but he runs right into a back heel kick from Punk that leads to another near fall. Punk pulls Rock up and hits him with a big suplex that puts Rock down for another two count. Punk puts on another rear chin lock, and Rock is quick to fight to his feet this time. He gets out of the hold and hits Punk with a big right, then another. Punk is able to catch Rock with a big boot, then a springboard clothesline which is good for another near fall. Punk goes back to the well for another rear chin lock. 

Rock fades, but eventually he's able to get back up to his feet. Rock fights Punk with a series of rights, but Punk ducks a clothesline in the corner and Punk connects with a high knee. Punk stalks Rock and backs up across the ring. He runs in with another high knee, then puts Rock down with a right hand. Punk goes to the top rope hitting the elbow drop for another two count. Punk picks up Rock and dumps him to the outside, following himself. Punk begins taking apart the Spanish announce table, but Rock responds with a series of right hands before bouncing Punk's head off the announcer's table and sending things back into the ring. Rock tries for the Rock bottom, but Punk fights it off and hits Rock with a big kick to the side of the head. 

Punk picks up Rock and tosses him to the outside again. This time he gets him up on the Spanish announcer's table, and he hits the Rock bottom, planting Rock on the table. The table doesn't break, I guess they reinforced it too much after last month. Punk rolls back into the ring and smiles, but Rock is able to beat the count. Punk mounts Rock and hits him with a series of punches to the face. Punk hits the ropes and runs right into a big Samoan drop from Rock. 

Both men get to their feet and Rock hits Punk with a giant right hand, then another. Punk responds with a couple of his own, but Rock gets the upper hand with a big clothesline. Rock hits a DDT, then waits for Punk to stand up. Rock tries for the Rock bottom, but Punk fights it off with a series of elbows to the head and neck, then the back of the Rock. Punk rolls out to the apron and gets to his feet, trying for another springboard clothesline. Rock catches Punk with a Rock bottom, and he goes for the pin, but Punk kicks out at two. 

Punk rolls to the outside and Rock follows, bringing things back into the ring. Punk tosses Rock into the referee and the ref falls to the outside. Punk hits the Rock with the G2S, and Punk covers the Rock for a ten count, clean, but there's no referee. Heyman is pleading with the referee to get up. Another official is down. Punk tries for another G2S, but Rock fights out and hits a spinebuster. Rock hits the People's elbow and pins Punk, but Punk kicks out at two! 

Punk knocks over the other official, causing him to roll his ankle, before hitting Rock with a kick to the side of the head. Punk calls for Heyman to get him the title, and Heyman obliges. Heyman gives the belt to Punk and then holds Rock. Punk winds up and aims for Rock, but Rock ducks and Punk hits Heyman. Rock hits Punk with the Rock bottom and the original official is in. Rock pins Punk for three.

Dolph Ziggler comes out with AJ and Big E. in tow. He's not too happy about not being booked. He says it's great that Jack Swagger came into the Elimination Chamber after his long vacation and won. He probably thinks he's guaranteed the championship, but nope, the briefcase that Ziggler has guarantees it. Ziggler has stolen the show more than anyone.

He's interrupted by Booker T who says Ziggler may just be wasting everyone's time. He knows Ziggle feels like he can do things no one else can do, but Booker begs to differ because he knows someone who can do everything, and a little bit more than Dolph can, and he's his opponent now.

Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston makes his way out for an impromptu match with Ziggler. The bell rings and Ziggler clamps on a head lock, taking Kofi down to the mat.

Ziggler catches Kofi with a dropkick of his own before putting him in a headlock. Kofi fights up to his feet and ducks a couple of clotheslines, but Ziggler is able to lock on the sleeper hold and Kofi drops down to one knee. 

Kofi is able to fight up and he tosses Ziggler from the ring. Big E helps Ziggler up, and ends up eating a dive from Kofi. AJ accidentally distracts Ziggler and allows Kofi to hit the trouble in paradise, but it's only good for two. Ziggler rolls to the outside, and Kofi dives out, wiping out Big E again.

John Cena is the first man to make his way out to the ring for this match, and Cena gets what seems to be a mostly positive reaction, but there are definitely some boos sprinkled in there as well.

Sheamus is out to the ring next, and the Irishman gets a warm reception from the New Orleans crowd.

Ryback is out last for his team, and he gets the weakest reaction of everyone on his team for sure.

The Shield is out next, coming through the crowd just as they did in their debut match at TLC.

Elimination Chamber Match Winner gets a World Heavyweight Title shot at WrestleMania 29 (PLAY B Y PLAY)

Elimination Chamber Match
Winner gets a World Heavyweight Title shot at WrestleMania 29
Chris Jericho vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry vs. Kane vs. Jack Swagger

We get a video package running down the rules, and a bit of the history of the chamber match.

Jack Swagger is the first man to make his way to the chamber. He's accompanied by Zeb Colter on his way down the entranceway. Swagger has a mic in hand. He says when he holds the mic, he holds the power. When he uses the mic, he uses it to shower the fans with truth. Zeb Colter speaks the truth. Zeb is a great American and if the fans have any type of respect for their country they will stand up and give it to him. This man, Zeb Colter. Swagger hands off the mic and applauds. Zeb says they are in a den of inequity. They are in New Orleans, and on the eve of President's day, he can't help but think of Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana purchase, and how ashamed he would see what became of it, and this once great nation. A nation that Zeb defended with his life. And just like the WWE, they're both full of intruders, panderers, and he spent one year in the muck with Swagger's daddy to see people crossing borders, breaking laws, and asking for a handout. Together, they will make things right, because tonight, in this chamber, a real patriot and American will set things straight, and win one for the good guys. Mark Zeb's words, tonight marks the beginning of a Jack Swagger era. Swagger yells out 'We the people' before being cut off by Kane's music.

Kane makes his way into the chamber to a decent reaction, and heads right for his pod without a big speech like Swagger.

Mark Henry is the third entrant, and the World's strongest man doesn't get the warmest reaction from the crowd, although to be fair, it's not really much of a reaction at all.

Henry stares down Swagger before making his way into his personal pod and finds himself closed in.

The final pod is claimed as Randy Orton makes his way down to the ring and into the chamber. Orton gets a really nice initial pop from the crowd.

Daniel Bryan makes his way out next, discouraging the crowd from their 'Yes' chants on his way into the chamber. Michael Cole reminds us that last year Bryan actually won the Chamber match on the way to WrestleMania last year.

Chris Jericho is the final entrant into the Chamber, and it's safe to say that the fans are happy to see him as he makes his way down to the ring.


The Chamber door is locked and the bell rings, and we're ready to begin. Bryan and Jericho circle each other before Bryan locks in a head lock. He takes Jericho to the mat with a shoulder block, but is taken over with a couple of arm drags, and a headlock takeover from Jericho. Bryan tries to turn it into a pin, but Jericho fights out, holding onto the headlock. Bryan pushes Jericho off and eats a shoulderblock.

Things head back into the ring where Jericho drops Bryan with a back body drop. Jericho goes for the pin, getting a two count. Jericho winds up and kicks Bryan in the ribs. The clock begins to count down as Jericho suplexes Bryan. The lights dim, and the next entrant is Jack Swagger.

Swagger rushes into the ring and plants Jericho on the mat before hitting a Swagger bomb out of the corner. Swagger stomps at Jericho before turning to Bryan on the outside. Swagger picks up Bryan and slams him into the chamber wall twice. Swagger stares at Bryan before hitting the ropes and driving a knee into Bryan's gut against the chamber wall. Swagger drives his knee into the side of Bryan's face against the chamber floor before heading back into the ring and walking into a big dropkick from Jericho. Jericho works over Swagger in the corner with a series of strikes, but Jericho misses a big splash in the corner and falls to the outside.

Swagger follows Jericho to the outside and tosses him repeatedly into the ropes before driving his knee into Jericho's gut against and again. Swagger continues to focus on Jericho and when he turns around, he eats a top rope flying knee from Bryan that puts Swagger down on the chamber floor. In the ring Bryan hits Jericho with a big DDT before heading to the top rope. Bryan tries for a flying head butt, but Jericho moves out of the way and scores a near fall before hitting a low dropkick to Bryan's back.

The clock counts down again and the next entrant is Kane. Kane heads in and goes after Jericho with a big chop to the throat. Kane tosses Jericho into the corner, then tosses Swagger in after him and splashes both. Kane tosses Bryan into the pile up in the corner for a huge assisted dropkick, and the tag champs team up with Kane sending Swagger to the outside. Bryan tries to roll Kane up, but only gets two and he immediately begs off. Bryan tells Kane to calm down and he asks for a hug. Kane says no, that he wants the title. They yell at each other for a bit, and both look disappointed before Bryan shoves Kane and Kane slaps Bryan.

Bryan sends Kane into the corner with a drop toe hold before hitting him with a big dropkick and a series of kicks to the chest. Kane tries for a chokeslam, but Bryan fights out, only to run into a sidewalk slam from the monster. Kane heads to the top, but he's stopped by Bryan. Bryan tries for a superplex, but he's stopped by Jericho. Jericho and Kane execute a perfect doomsday device, and Swagger tries to pin Bryan, but only gets two. Swagger and Kane trade rights, and Swagger hits a back elbow before trying for a suplex. Kane is able to reverse into a cover for two.

Jericho comes in and kicks away at Kane before the clock counts down once more and Randy Orton enters the match. Orton suplexes Swagger to the outside, then hits Jericho with a big back elbow. Orton runs into a right hand from Kane, but he ducks a clothesline and hits the big man with a nice clothesline. Orton hits Bryan with a rope assisted suplex before heading outside after Kane. Kane grabs Orton around the throat, but Orton is able to shove Kane into the chamber wall before tying Kane up in the ropes and hitting him with the suspension DDT on the chamber floor.

Bryan kicks away at Jericho in the corner before Jericho turns it around. Jericho takes Bryan to the top turnbuckle as Orton takes Swagger up on the other side. Orton superplexes Swagger, then Jericho superplexes Bryan, and all four men are down. Mark Henry looks frustrated that he's having to wait, pacing back and forth and pounding against his pod walls. The clock begins to count down and Henry makes his way out.

Henry wipes out everyone in the match, taking Bryan down with a worlds strongest slam for three.

Daniel Bryan has been eliminated.

Jericho clotheslines Swagger back into the ring before hitting a big cross body on the All American for a two count. Jericho sends Swagger across the ring, but runs right into a big boot. Swagger tries for the gut-wrench powerbomb, and Jericho is able to reverse it into the walls of Jericho, but Swagger kicks Jericho away.

Major Issues At RAW Last Week

In regards to WWE running into issues with the company's official app crashing during RAW on Monday night, it was indeed legitimate and overloaded with too many votes. When WWE had booked the angle for the show the impression was that Randy Orton would win when stacked up against Rey Mysterio and the returning Chris Jericho. Mysterio vs. Daniel Bryan was always the plan and WWE instead prepared back ups for Orton and Jericho.

Jericho vs. Wade Barrett was originally booked with Jericho going over and CM Punk vs. Orton was originally booked with Punk going over. When Jericho ended up getting 57% of the vote, he had already worked out a match with Barrett and was then told as the show was live that he would be working with Punk instead. While the show was airing live, Jericho and Punk only had a very short amount of time to get a match put together.

CM Punk Nasty Bump At WWE Live Event

WWE star CM Punk took a bad bump getting dropped on his head while taking a suplex from The Miz on Saturday night at the WWE live event in Springfield, Missouri. The incident went down during the tag team main event featuring Punk tagging with WWE United States Champion Antonio Cesaro vs. Miz and Ryback. Punk rolled out of the ring shortly after taking the bad bump and was later helped to the back by WWE officials.

Early reports are that Punk was sore, but was expected to be okay and work tonight in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

WWE Teases Another Punk/Flair Confrontation

WWE.com has posted this interview with Ric Flair in which he teases another confrontation with CM Punk.

He returned to TV at the Slammys on RAW in December. The two exchanged words. As noted earlier here on the website (see below), Flair is rumored to return for the 20th anniversary show this Monday.

He said: "Like I said, if you like me or don't like me, learn to love it baby, because it is the best thing going today. And that's the quote I'll drop on him if I see him. WOO!"

On January 9th, we reported the following:

At this time, WWE is planning some sort of confrontation between CM Punk and Ric Flair on next week's 20th anniversary RAW show.

Most feel that it was surprising that Flair wasn't advertised as appearing, especially after the ratings came in and were the best numbers since August. The feeling is that they have a chance to do another big number next week, due to it not being a holiday and because there will be no competition from football.

There are rumors that "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will appear on the show but that is not confirmed. The Rock will also be appearing.

Jake Roberts Speaks Out - Being Clean, Physical Condition

Jake Roberts recently spoke about staying clean, living with DDP and much more. Here are the highlights…

On his sobriety and the struggle: It's really cool, you walk into my bedroom here at the Accountability Crib, that's what we're calling it (DDP's house), and right to the right there's a big frame, a real nice frame, no money spared on that, and inside is my first drug test that I've passed. And I've got many more. Many more. I'm sixty-seven days clean and I'm not missing it at all, man- there's been a couple of moments where I'm like "Sonofabitch, I'd like to have a drink," you know. One was yesterday, I had to do an MRI, and I'm claustrophobic... you're in the gigantic machine, it drops down to about an inch above your face, and all the noises start, it's really horrible, man. It's really funny, when you hit something that really bothers ya, damn, it bothers ya, clean or dirty. And those things bother me. It'd been twenty-something years since I had the last one. It was a tough moment for me, and I shouted "gosh darn it, I need a drink.' But I didn't mean it. I was just playing with my mind. 'Cause sometimes you gotta lie to yourself to keep from running from the truth.

On the happenings at DDP's house, including his routine and his diet: Especially for me- he spends a lot of time yelling at me, saying "quit doing that!" And what he means is, quit working on the house. 'Cause I like doing woodworking, things like that. And I'm a clean freak... Once I messed my shoulder up- It's funny how goofy my mind works sometimes. Like, here I am in this horrible pain, and I'm watching the other guys work out, and I'm jealous. I'm pissed off. Dammit, I wanna work out, you know? Which is really different, I might have felt like that before, but never about working out, it was about drugs or something, you know? But you get to feeling good about yourself, and you just want to do the right thing all the time. At first, it was kind of dodgy, 'cause you have to remember what the right thing was. And my mind was pretty cloudy. It had a lot of moments that weren't real clear. But now that my mind's clear, I know what I wanna do, and I know before I even do it what the right thing is. Before, doing the right thing was a hit-or-miss thing. But living here, I wake up 7, 7:30 in the morning; last time I did that I was usually going to bed. That's not a good thing. I hit the hot tub, get the parts to moving, and I'm ready to work out. I'm ready to sweat, ready to get after it. That's what we do every day. And we eat right. That's what so nice; for all the pain you spill out, you're being twisted in all these positions. This ain't your momma's yoga, as you all know. You're not sitting in a corner holding your thumbs up humming or anything. There ain't none of that shit going on. There's a lot of squealing and a lot of barking, maybe, but none of that. But eating right is such a big part of it. What I found out is, eating good actually tastes better than the crap I was eating before. No gluten, and no dairy. The only thing that bothered me about dairy was no cheese, 'cause I love cheese, man. But then I found out there's cheese you can eat, which is sheep cheese. It's awesome. It's friggin awesome stuff, man. And it's not bad for you... Then we get on this stuff called chuice... I detoxed on it. Not so much off of drugs but off of bad food. And I'd wake up in the morning and I'm like "alright, somebody came in my room last night and pissed on me," 'cause I smelled like piss. It'd be okay if they left me a dollar or something, but they didn't even do that. But it wasn't. It was my body excreting all these toxins and stuff that had been built up in my body for so friggin' long, you know? I probably could've sold that shit to some junkie somewhere, he could've refined it and smoked it or something... I can't believe how much clearer my mind is, my speech is much clearer... It's not a concentration camp here, it's about loving each other, and reaching out, helping each other, and positive attitude.

On his current state: I'm fixing this old body up... I have a positive attitude, I feel good about myself. I think the funniest thing that's happened since I've been here is I was taking a shower about three weeks ago- I take a shower every day, just wanna make that clear, if you're thinking "Jake's a stinkin' sonofabitch."- I look down and I'm like "Oh, my God, I've got six toes!" But it wasn't a toe, it was my penis!" I hadn't seen it in a few years, you know? And I'm looking down like, "Damn, somebody must've exchanged mine." 'Cause mine was much bigger... As silly as that sounds, man, it's like, "Damn, it's good to see that." You know, I'm getting thin, I'm 247 pounds. So I've lost 60 pounds, and I want to drop about 15-20 more. And lean and mean, man, getting around- if I get down on the floor I can get up by myself now. Even with the bad shoulder, it's not much fun but I can still do it. Before, you'd have to help me out of a chair. I couldn't get up, man. You know, I've had hip replacement, I had part of my left foot removed, two discs out of my neck. Okay, I know my shit's all busted up. But doing this program of Dallas'- I'm doing shit with my body I've never did before. And I wouldn't have thought I would have ever wanted to do it. But now I'm challenging my body to try new things, to bend new ways, to twist new ways, to open things up. My hips feel so much better, my feet feel so much better, my hands, i can straighten my fingers out now. Before I couldn't straighten my fingers out... they said I've been hit in the head too many times, yeah, and my brain misfires, and it was causing my fingers and my toes to contract. Which is okay for some things when you're right-handed, but it's not good for your feet. I would be walking, and my toe would catch in the carpet, and then I'd be bending over, and of course I'd be stepping, and I'd break it again. So I was breaking toes quite often, which is not a really a cool sound to hear. "Oh, shit, there's another one." Now they're straightening out, I can move them again. But the bottom line is, I can actually dream again, man. You see, I was to the point where I would get so angry when I'd wake up in the morning, saying "Sonofabitch, I'm still alive." I'd be pissed off. I mean, as sick as it sounds, it's the truth. If I heard somebody died, I would be jealous. What a lucky bastard. 'Cause I wanted to die. I wasn't suicidal because I had hurt my family and kids enough doing the stupid shit I'd already done. I wouldn't do that. But, man, I was sure hoping for death. And I hadn't had a dream in so many years, where something positive, you know, something good, and now I'm thinking of good stuff to do, fun stuff to do. Last week I actually went and walked up Stone Mountain. I know they always introduced me from Stone Mountain, that's a rib on the fans, too. I'd only been there about 3-4 times in my life... I actually went and did that. It's not an easy trek up there. Takes about 45 minutes of walking at a pretty good pace. The hard part about it is, Stone Mountain is not a smooth trail up there. You gotta step up and move, and get up there. We put some of that on YouTube and I'm gonna start doing that every week. If somebody told me six months ago I'd actually be able to get up that sonofabitch, I'd have laughed in your face, called you a liar, and tried to punch you because I'd thought you were trying to be cute and make a joke or make fun of me. That's how bad my body was. But hell, I went up that sonofabitch. I'm gonna try and do it every week. Now my goal is to actually run up the damn thing... It may take me a year, but by God I'll tell you something, at some point, if I stick with this program, I'm going to. Ain't nothing stopping me now... Y'all couldn't handle Jake when he was screwed up, what the hell are you gonna do with me now?

On inspiring others: If you're walking around in a negative cloud, not being positive or uplifting about yourself at all, then how the hell are you expecting to move forward? You can't. You're stuck in crap. I just know that there's so many people that I will affect with my journey to sobriety and my journey to health that it will mean so much more on the big scheme of things than my wrestling career ever did. There's millions of people out there that never watched wrestling, they don't know Jake, but I can give you a list of shit that I have overcame, and if that don't inspire you, then kiss my ass... Three of my kids called me on a conference call, and they said, you know, "Dad, we're always proud of ya, what you accomplished in the ring. You did so much. What you're doing right now- [what you've done in the ring] pales in comparison to what you're doing right now." And for my kids to tell me that, to tell me they were proud of me, you know, that kicks ass... Life is a beautiful thing, but life is what you make it. I spent 57 years making mine a mess, and I ain't doing that no more.
