On being close to being a United States Champion:
“I was pretty close to being United States Champ. I think it was a conversation then of, supposedly, I had a ‘boo-boo face’ one day at work and I had to be punished for it but, I was like, ah, whatever. Whatever that sh*t is. It’s f*cking stupid. Like hey, I’m not smiling every day, don’t feel like it. I’m not gonna smile, I’m not gonna tell everybody hello. I’m gonna come in — I have a personal life. At the time, I had babies popping up left and right, you know what I’m saying? I had sh*t going on (he laughed). Three girlfriends, a wife on the side. There was sh*t going on. I was on the phone a lot. Making a lot of deals, a lot of deals. I owed child support unfortunately. But, I had a lot going on so I’m not always gonna come in the arena like, ‘Hey guys! I’m so happy!’ It’s like, check the board, not on, welp, f*ck it. There goes my day, you know? Whatever or, on, okay, who am I working? Let me find my agent.”
On being told he was winning the Tag Team Titles with Matt Bloom:
“Me and Tensai (Matt Bloom) got together and we were told, ‘You guys are gonna be tag team champs’. Remember it. We were in Boston of all places. It’s me, Tensai and Kofi (Kingston) against The Shield. I don’t need to tell you how that ended. It was in the Boston Garden. All three Boston boys are in there: Kofi, myself and we came out to Diddy — oh man, now that’s f*cked up. Jesus. We came out to… (he laughed)”
