On if he thinks Howard would be good for wrestling: “I would like to see him be involved in the business, period. Anytime you’re a big name, notoriety-type person and you come into pro wrestling, you add strength to our industry.” 

On having established athletes joining as roster talent: “[This is the equivalent of] telling people that our sport is meaningful — and that means the world to me.”

On other basketball veterans’ time in the industry: “[They did] really, really well, and if they would have dedicated their lives to it, they would have been great.”
