“I can't remember when we didn't get along. Mother had a rule that if we fought, no matter who started it, she'd spank us both. We'd go to laborious pains to sneak off for a fight somewhere she wouldn't catch us, and by the time we got to the barn or wherever, we'd lose our steam and forget about it.”
“Our philosophy is if it's been done before, we'd better do it better. We think people will be hooked when they see things like the six-sided ring, the Six Sides of Steel matches and Ultimate X matches. (Our guys) can do things you've never seen.”
“I think they [Spike] were getting out of the wrestling business. Once you've had what you perceive is the top of the game, you think, 'I don't think we're going to go there from a programming standpoint.' But they were interested enough to take the meeting with us. I think from the very, very first meeting, they were intrigued by the uniqueness of our product, how innovative it was, how different it was from what they currently had on their air. They felt like, 'We could stay in this business and grow a brand together with a company who wants to work hand in hand with us.' Man, what could happen if two partners work together. They've been believers from the beginning. They're as excited about us being on Spike as we are.”
“When we first met, I was so impressed with him. But Hal took a dislike to me, just like his character in the play. Probably my Southern politeness, which he thought was kind of phony. It was only near the end of the shoot, when I was sick as a dog with the flu and I stopped trying to charm him, that he got over that dislike, and we started to laugh together.”
“If you like wrestling, you will like this product, ... If you like 20-minute promos, then our product may not be for you. You're going to see some moves you've never seen before and some names you've never heard.”
