The following are highlights the producers of the program sent to PWTorch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On it being difficult to go over the emotional aspects of his autobiography:\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;At times it was. But, at the same time, at times it was also self-counseling. I feel like, after the book, I finally am passed all that stuff. Now, I&#8217;m just enjoying my life and enjoying each and every part of my life currently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On if he was always supposed to be Vince McMahon&#8217;s son:\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;As far as I know, it was always supposed to be Ken (Kennedy, Anderson). He finally admitted a few years ago, &#8220;Yeah, all right. Maybe it was suppsoed to be me!&#8221; (laughs) I owe Ken a lot in my wrestling career. It ended up not being him and that garnered me a huge role in the company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On if wrestling fans take this stuff too seriously:<\/strong> &#8220;Here&#8217;s the thing. Social media is the greatest thing that we, as professional wrestlers, could ever ask for because it helps us reach our fans directly. But, it alsois a hindrancebecause it gives everyone a voice and some use that voice for negativity. Most people are much quicker to voice a negative opinion than a positive opinion on social media. I&#8217;m used to it by now. (laughs) I ruined the Cruiserweight division. I ruined the McMahon storyline! I ruined the General Manager storyline! But, it is OK! Because, as egotistical as it may seem, I was on TV living my dream!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On his favorite memory during his WWE run:\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;I&#8217;ll never do anything greater than WeeLC. That is the greatest thing that I willl ever do. We blew it out of the water. We went in knowing what people were expecting and we completely turned it 180 degrees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On his favorite action figure of himself:\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;WeeLC set. I love that set because on the back of my figure, it has my son&#8217;s name and handprints on it just like I have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022On working with Rockstar Spud\/Drake Maverick in Impact:\u00a0<\/strong>&#8220;That was a lot of fun. I actually just spoke to Spud this morning. We had never really met before that&#8230; Maybe once or twice in passing. But, when we worked together, there was an immediate bond. And, we&#8217;ve been very, very close ever since then.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wrestlingepicenter.com\/\">www.WrestlingEpicenter.com<\/a> to listen.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1950974420\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/09\/27\/interview-highlights-brutus-beefcake-ed-leslie-talks-about-reconciling-with-hulk-hogan-andre-pooping-in-a-bathtub-in-japan-being-chosen-for-wwe-hall-of-fame\/\">Interview Highlights: Brutus Beefcake (Ed Leslie) talks about reconciling with Hulk Hogan, Andre pooping in a bathtub in Japan, being chosen for WWE Hall of Fame<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-4129915494\"><div id=\"pwtor-3648666009\"><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>Hornswoggle appeared on &#8220;Interactive Wrestling Radio&#8221; on Sept. 23, 2019 with host James Walsh to discuss his new book, new book &#8220;Life Is Short and So am I.&#8221; Visit www.WrestlingEpicenter.com to listen.
