In an interview with Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, Austin Idol spoke about why he thinks he never ended up working with Vince McMahon Jr. Here are highlights:
On not working with Vince McMahon, Jr.: “The wrestling business is like any other business, you make friends and sometimes you do things that upset people and vice versa. I don’t really think there was any interest from the Vince (McMahon) standpoint and I gave my notice to Vince’s father after 11 months up there and I did it all in a nice way and very professional, but that may have stuck with Junior.”
On feuding with Jerry Lawler: “I saw something so much similar to that in Florida because when I was working part time I could just hang out, it was Jody Hamilton The Assassin who did something almost exactly like that angle with Dusty (Rhodes) in Florida and I thought that maybe I could tweak that and maybe get something out of it, so I told Lawler about it and he said let’s do it. When we did that I had been out for a while and I was just coming back and that really ignited me quickly and it turned out very good. I had a great run with him (Lawler) as a heel and also as a baby face against the Road Warriors.”
