*On "The Rise And Fall Of ECW"
"I had pretty low expectations going in, bluntly. I didn't expect them to pull something off this complete and this accurate. I had my doubts going in that they were going to represent ECW in the light that I thought would have been appropriate. I am more than pleasantly surprised by it because I find it, as of now, the most accurate look at ECW and what we went through along the way."

*On The Rumored Return Of The ECW Brand:
"I certainly hope not, because I don't think it would succeed. Could we do it as a one time thing? Or a once in a while thing? Yeah, I think people would be very interested to see a 2004-2005 version of an ECW show. But, to do ECW now, as a promotion under the auspices of being corporately owned would never work because that wasn't what ECW was about. If it were attempted, it would prostitute what the brand truly was."

*On His Role With The WWE Creative Team:
"Well, it depends on who we are speaking about. I try to learn from anybody. I use to get ideas from members of the ring crew in ECW. I use to get it from fans and the guy at the local deli. If you pay attention to the theory behind what people are suggesting you can learn an awful lot about their perspective of what wrestling could be or should be. I have learned from everybody I have worked with in WWE because if someone cares enough to throw out an idea, I care enough to listen to what is behind the idea."

*On ECW Talent That's Been Misused:
"I don't think Rob Van Dam has gotten his fair shake in WWE. I wish several of the cruiserweights we had were more focused on. It's a case by case scenario. By way of example, I think Raven could have been a huge star in this industry. I just don't know if that character worked outside of the ECW environment."
