Recap of Jay Lethal's appearance on Online World of Wrestling Radio.
On
the possibility of joining WWE: "I would say yes, Only because I can
honestly say that anyone that is a pro wrestler in my generation you
became a pro wrestler because of one reason and one reason only and
thats because of WWE. ECW was big WCW was big but I think for
my generation it was WWE that made you want to become a professional
wrestler and why would you not want to get a chance to work for the
company that made you love this business, so I would have to say yes."
On
speaking with Randy Savage for the first time and what Randy Savage
thought of the impression: "The first conversation we had lasted for
five minutes. It was a three way call because I did not believe that it
was it was really the macho man, as the guy was trying to get me to
believe it was really him. He told me he liked the stuff, he didnt see
it on TV, but saw it on youtube, I didnt think I offended him, I think I
annoyed him, as this fan was calling him, as I am a fan of Macho Man,
its very weird to have a fan call you, just to talk."
On the
famous promo with Ric Flair on Impact: "After the segment, I got to the
locker room first and I was so nervous that my hands were numb and I was
waiting for Flair to come back through the curtain, cause I didnt know
what he thought of it, I dont know if he thought it was good, before
flair came back everyone was applauding because they liked it, I thought
they just thought it was funny, but when Ric Flair came back through
the curtain he had the biggest smile that I have ever seen in my life, I
walked up to him and hugged and then I knew it was okay."
On who
he thinks made the decision to release him from his TNA Contract: "I
don't know who makes the decision, but I can only speculate that it came
from dixie carter herself, as the owner of the company, it had to go
through to her at some point. All I know is that at some point as the
owner of the company, in time it has to come through you."
On
receiving the phone call about his release: "I was called by Head of
Relations Terry Taylor while at a baseball game. I should have seen it
coming, as I hadn't been on TV in five months. It wasn't like, 'Hey, Jay
Lethal, you messed up, I honestly believe it was we have nothing for
you. We kept you long enough with getting paid, its just now time to
clean up and make some cuts.'"
On being apart of TNA Destination
X: "I was originally was suppose to be apart of the Destination X PPV,
even before I was release. After I was released, I was also scheduled to
be apart of it, but that fell through."
