On the podcast, he stated, “I’ve rode on the coattails of all the top people in WCW. But the pay thing was a lot different in WWE. I got paid off the gates. And I was around Steve Austin.”

“I was lucky enough to be on shows with Steve Austin and The Rock and The Undertaker and all these. You know, Shawn Michaels and Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin and all these incredible people. But there’s nobody as made me as much money because of the time period that I was wrestling in the WWE as John Cena, because of longevity.”

He believes that even though there were several really large stars, they all turned in separate directions, but ‘The Champ’ stuck to his plan. He said that he appeared in almost all of Cena’s WWE shows when he was a part of the company.
