I have so much love and respect for the fans. I`ll never forget where I came from. I love the business. I grew up in the business. And everyone always asks me, from Letterman [David Letterman] to Stone Phillips, what I miss about wrestling. Hands down, I miss the interaction with the fans. Outside of the ring I loved it, too. I mean, how hard is it to sign an autograph? Don`t be an a**hole to your fans. And there`s many [in WWE] that won`t, which is bulls**t. But inside the ring, just that energy and feeding off that energy is great. There`s something so special about it. And every night I would just have a blueprint of what I would say and rely so much on ad-libbing and waiting to see what happens when I get out there and let it materialize organically and see what happens. Every night was a different crowd and they gave me so much energy, and I`ll always love that and always miss that for sure. [Interview with WWE.com in October 2005]
