The following are show highlights sent to PWTorch.com by the show&#8217;s producers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022On getting arrested the night of Liz&#8217;s death:\u00a0<\/b>&#8220;I was sitting out in my front yard and they told me that she didn&#8217;t make it. So I remember, when they went through my place, they found all the drugs and alcohol. That was part of my lifestyle back then. They arrested me on drug possession. I remember sitting in a jail cell that night realizing, wow&#8230;this is a really dark time. And I&#8217;ve shared this a couple of times, I thought about, the only time in my life I thought about that. People talk about what was the low point, because I remember thinking about they take your shoelaces, they take everything from me when you get checked in the jail. I was there on drug possession, on drugs they found. Because there was a lot of big quantities that was a big party house there and uh, they took me in and I was in the jail cell and put me by myself because they didn&#8217;t want to put me in general population, because people knew who I was, inmates get all stirred up. So I&#8217;m in the jail cell and I actually thought, wow, there&#8217;s no camera in here, maybe&#8230;I was trying to think of a way to end it. I thought about climbing up, there&#8217;s a dividing wall in this little cell I was in by myself that set the toilet off. I thought about maybe if I could climb up on top of that divider wall and put my hands behind my head and fall head first on the cement floor, I could end it all. I didn&#8217;t do that, but I sure thought about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022On if that night was a wake-up call:\u00a0<\/b>&#8220;I went into total self-medication mode and I got high every night &#8211; I would pop pills, drink. I mean, I wasn&#8217;t trying to kill myself, but I was on the path of destruction for sure. It&#8217;s a miracle I didn&#8217;t overdose so many of those nights over those next couple years. I ended up moving into a hotel and even isolating myself, I wasn&#8217;t going out anymore, I was in a total period of isolation at that point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2022On his relationship with Randy before Liz&#8217;s death:\u00a0<\/b>&#8220;They were divorced for what we&#8217;re talking about almost 10 years. She had remarried and they were long, no longer a part of each other&#8217;s lives at all. Randy and I had traveled together some in WWE, we always got along great, we trained together. From my end, and I never felt anything off Randy, I never felt any issue there whatsoever. Admired, respected him, never felt an issue with Randy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On his relationship with Randy after Liz&#8217;s death:<\/strong>\u00a0&#8220;I never met Randy afterwards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT ARTICLE:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/04\/12\/interview-highlights-sean-x-pac-waltman-talks-about-ronda-rouseys-advantages-coming-into-wwe-conor-mcgregor-incident-revised-thoughts-on-bruno-hof-speech-length\/\">Interview Highlights: Sean \u201cX-Pac\u201d Waltman talks about Ronda Rousey\u2019s advantages coming into WWE, Conor McGregor incident, revised thoughts on Bruno, HOF speech length<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3416200505\"><div id=\"pwtor-1471075210\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>On &#8220;Prime Time with Sean Mooney,&#8221; Lex Luger discussed the death of Elizabeth.
