JM:
Who made the first call for you to work for the WWE.
PP:
My dear friend and former partner, 'Ravishing' Rick Rude put me in contact with
Vince McMahon. I talked to Vince and was immediately hired as The Undertaker's
manager.
JM:
I know you have had a lot of them, but tell us some of your Greatest Highlights
in the sport of wrestling.
PP: Yes, I have so many memories. I really
have been blessed. I will never forget the night The Undertaker beat Hogan for
The WWF Title. And the night at The
Sportatorium when Eric Embry and myself tore The WCCW banner off the walls
JM:
Is there any goals you have left you want to go after?
PP: I have literally lived every dream I have
ever had. The only thing left is opening
my own independent federation in my home town. When the time is right, that
will happen.
JM: If Vince McMahon or Jim Ross called you in
the next 5 Minutes to come back to the WWE, Would you?
PP: If the deal was right, sure. I would be
crazy not too. It's the only game around.
JM: At one point in the WWE, Did WCW or ECW
Ever crossed your mind to work for when the two companies were still in the
Biz?

No. I had a solid job in The WWF for 12-straight years. I never need to think about
working for anyone else

when I Named the Following

deserve.

Cold" Steve Austin - I help train him in the very beginning and was his

pro match at The Sportatorium. He wore a mask as 'Texas Red'.

in The WWF.

his own good.

Fan wants to know is Kane Married
PP: I do not talk about the personal lives of
my friends.

How is your career going now?

Good. I have more time off than I have had in 20 years. I really needed it.
JM:
Do you have a sign contract with the NWA/TNA Roster
PP:
No

Do you still follow the WWE and how do you feel about the rate it is going since
you left

interests me, I watch. if not, I don't
watch anymore.

Every WRESTLEMANIA that I ever appeared in was great to me.
