Below are some highlights from the interview:
On his time in WWE and working relationship with Vince McMahon:
“You can look around in WWE, you can say whatever you want about me, but I can look around and say that there wasn’t anyone around where you can say that you were sitting next to a piece of s–t. There wasn’t anyone in that locker room that was not a good human to get to that point because you don’t make it to WWE with that present day structure and the corporate world of Fortune 400 business to get a piece of s–t who gets more airtime on TV than any other individual,” Amore said. “So, for a year and a half I was on 205 Live and Raw. I was on TV more than any other wrestler in the company, meaning, Vince McMahon was investing more time in me than any other superstar. Time is money which means he believed in me. I had a great relationship with Vince McMahon. You think about the guys that I worked along with, there was no s–tty humans, you just don’t get there. You just don’t make it. To look at my six-year run, whether they were fed up with my antics or whatever inaccurate assessments that were made, you have the ability to touch people’s lives and I had that opportunity and I didn’t take it lightly.
On if he would return to WWE:
“I couldn’t tell you [if WWE has tried reaching out]. I blocked every number that had 203 in it. Straight up. I couldn’t go back anyway. I have sciatica. I can’t walk, bro. I can’t do things physically that I once can do. Getting to the end there heading to WrestleMania, I was saying to myself that I wasn’t sure that I could make it to WrestleMania, I wasn’t even sure that I could make it to the Royal Rumble,” he said. “I was so beat up but I kayfabed the s–t out of it. I don’t want to go back anytime soon. I need my body to recover. I am not healthy right now physically. I can’t touch my toes. I used to be able to. I was putting off so many things and burning the candle until the end. When I was a heel and had that title I was going hard. I was showing up to work. I had a few nights that I didn’t have any nights of sleep, but you just couldn’t see it on camera.”
