On the latest What Happened When with Tony Schiavone episode, the AEW broadcaster discussed the Nasty Boys and more. You can check out some highlights below:

On the Nasty Boys: “No you know, the Nasty Boys were — I don’t know if notorious is the right word. But they beat up a lot of people. Because that’s what they were, they were nasty, man. This is what Dusty [Rhodes] would call a clubbering.”

On Jerry Sags getting into a scuffle with Bobby Walker: “I do remember hearing about a scuffle that was backstage with the Nasty Boys. And I was — I guess that’s the one with Bobby Walker that I remember hearing about… Normally, when a show goes on and there’s a scuffle backstage, I’m doing the show, so. If it happened before, like the Vader-Paul Orndorff thing, which happened in this building. If it happened right in front of me, I would have seen it. But if it happens during the show, you know.”

On WCW owing him money: “Well you know, when I — WCW owed me for a couple of pay-per-views, because I was paid extra on pay-per-views back then. And when I went to the WWF, I remember telling Bruce Pritchard. And Bruce Pritchard told Vince or someone, and the WWE lawyer got in touch with Jim Herd and I got the money pronto. It wasn’t much, it was like three grand, right? It wasn’t like $80,000 or anything like that. But I remember thinking, ‘Wow, that happened quickly.’”
