Below are some questions along with “Double J’s” answers:

What was your reaction when you got the phone call to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?

It was a Sunday morning in early January. It was all in about 60 seconds. I was shocked. It was a very surreal moment. And then pretty quickly, I had a real sense of gratitude and am very grateful and humbled. My family has been in the business for three generations. For me to get this honor, I’m just incredibly humbled about this situation.

What’s your relationship with WWE?

It’s been nothing but spectacular reconnecting. Really looking forward to getting to New Orleans and not just seeing faces we see on camera every week but people behind the scenes.

What’s going with Global Force Wrestling and how is your health?

I’m working on some international projects as we speak. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best I’ve been in years. Feel great. And not just physically. Mentally and emotionally and spiritually as well. I’m really excited about the next chapter of my career. The international wrestling scene has so much growth opportunity – Asia, South America, Africa, Europe, all around the world.

What was the key to your success across 30 years and multiple companies?

I’ve got some longevity. Been blessed with good health. And then work ethic and showing up day in and day out. No matter what the circumstances are in our business – travel, politics, injury – you got to be in the game. And to be in the game you got to work hard and you have to know your craft. I was a stickler. I wanted to learn every nuance to my craft. And that’s not just talking about in the ring. It’s all facets. Production, marketing, PR. I’ve always looked at this business as a business.

They also discussed his favorite matches in all of the promotions that he has been a part of, guitars that he has broken and more.
