WWE: How many years have you been refereeing?
Twenty-two

WWE: What's your most memorable moment?
My first National Wrestling Association (NWA) title match with Harley Race against Dusty Rhodes. As far as more recent matches, anytime you get in the ring with Steve Austin or The Rock; it's just incredible how electric they are.

WWE: What's your most terrifying moment?
One time back in the old WCW, Big Show (then known as the Giant) pressed me over his head, threw me out over the ring and onto the floor-I was airborne. And when Kane got a hold of me a few months ago, that was pretty terrifying as well. Once you're up in the air, it's pretty scary.

WWE: Why do you want to be a ref?
When you're in the ring and feel the electricity, you get an adrenaline rush that's hard to describe, and I just love it.

WWE: How do you feel about getting booed?
I've got feelings just like everybody else, but I've been around long enough that I know my credentials. I know what I'm capable of. I just figure that all those people that sit there and boo me are jealous because they'd like to be doing what I do, but don't have the ability to do it.

WWE: What about your trick shoulder?
They haven't foudn what the problem is yet. It's probably a result of previous injuries. I've had both of my knees rebuilt. I've had my neck sprained and incurred several concussions. As hard as we go, every now and then things act up on you. It happens to all the Superstars and, unforunately, it occasionally happen to me.

WWE: You're not playing favorites are you?
It's really easy for me not to play favorites, because I really don't like anybody. I take pride in calling it right down the line. I think if all the other officals in the WWE were as fair as me, the fans would appreciate us a lot more.
