some notes from his rf shoot...
Quote:Defended Bradshow over the bullying allegations: said, in the case of Palmer Cannon, they were just trying to toughen him up, and he obviously wasn't that desperate to be in WWE, if he wouldn't tolerate it for a while. Told a story about Rey seeing Palmer outside the hotel putting his suitcases in the back of a cab, getting ready to leave for good. Rey said to him things like "please, don't leave" "give it another chance." and "you don't know what you're missing." The cab driver kept giving Palmer and Rey funny looks, and it wasn't till later that Rey realized he thought they were gay lovers.
Quote:Said he was dragged into the Benoit media frenzy after writing a drunken blog on his website. Said, despite what everyone thinks, he wasn't attacking guys like Mero and Bily Graham. He claims Greta Von Susteren was a bit of a bitch, being nice to him before the cameras starting rolling and then asking him about steroids as soon as they started recording.
Quote:Hugely contradicts himself at one point: claims he was pissed off at the claims of the evil media that guys had to do steroids to get into WWE, but then later admits the only reason he did so many steroids early on in his career was because he knew he would never get into WWE without them.
Quote:Explained the whole pharmacy deal: His body was so screwed up from years of steroid abuse that, even after the wellness policy, he had to be on them (this differs from his original story that it was a staph infection that required him to be on the gas) Found this place out of the way (which he compares to one of the alternative medicine Chinese Herbal stores) that did blood work and gave him a legitimate prescription for steroids. Claims that he wasn't lying when he said WWE stopped his drug use, because he wasn't using steroids for cosmetic purposes anymore.
Quote:Cena hated him. Like, absolutely hated him. He claims to have no idea why, and maybe John was threatened by his talent. Later, admits that it may have something to do with the match they had where John got hurt, which Ken knows for a fact he got a ton of heat for.
Quote:HBK and HHH didn't like him either. Once asked Shawn: "Why do you hate me?" But never got a proper reponse. Thinks HHH and HBK might have been threatened by his talent.
Quote:Contrary to popular belief, Ken was actually the one hurt on the botched suplex at his last match. That's right, Orton hurt him. Said he never dropped Orton on his head, despite his claims, and actually saved Orton from dropping on his head after Randy screwed up the move and jumped too hard. Ken had to pull him towards him leading him to hurt his arm slightly but Ken assures us he was fine.
