Here are just a few of the highlights, with Ric shooting on:
WCW: “I was glad to see WCW close down! The company was an embarrassment to anything I’d ever known or been part of. It was such a sad day for the 150 individuals who lost their jobs – with relatively small compensation packages – and the people responsible for that happening should be dead. I totally blame Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo was just another add-on.”
Mick Foley: “Falling off a building does not make you a wrestler. Where would he be if he hadn’t fallen on a bed of thumb tacks? I get along with Mick, he’s drawn a lot of money and been very successful - but he’s not a great wrestler by any means. He’s a stunt man.”
The Greenville Raw: “People always ask me what the biggest match or biggest night of my career was. It’s easy to look back in time and say it was the first time I won the NWA championship, but right now the greatest moment in my career was that night on Raw.”
The plane ride from hell: “I don’t even know what they’re talking about, none of that happened. I really don’t have a comment as there is no truth there. And the claims have been made two years later. If it was bad then, why didn’t something happen then?”
The best wrestler ever: “I’ve been in the ring with everyone, so I can truly determine who the greats are and the four best wrestlers I’ve ever seen are Harley Race, Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Ricky Steamboat.”
