Lovranski: Now, I don’t know if this is true or not - it’s one of those stories that you hear about through the years - but I did want to bring it up and let you tell the real story. I remember hearing something about you getting into a fight with Brian Pillman around this time in a bar or something like that.
Vicious: No, it never happened. What happened was I was working for the WWF. I tore my bicep and I always parked my car at the HoJo’s. I’m in the WWF and we’re selling out every night, so these guys, they’re a little jealous of that. Now, he said something smart to me, and I said, “Look, Brian, if you don’t like it, let’s just go outside and I’ll kick your ass with one arm.” And he didn’t want to. And that’s all there was to it.

Lovranski: I found it very interesting the way they kind of brought you in, with you refereeing that tag team match at SummerSlam.
Vicious: I’ll explain that real quick: What the deal was, I was supposed to do TVs and Pay-Per-Views for one year. And then they had to fire the Warrior that night. So that (Expletive) my whole deal and I had to start early.
Lovranski: Is that why they had you referee that match?
Vicious: Right. And they fired the Warrior as he walked out.
Lovranski (Laughs): For the first of many times, I’m sure.
Vicious: Sure.

Lovranski: I have to ask you too about WrestleMania VIII, where you kicked out from Hogan’s legdrop. And some people say it was a double-cross, other people say Papa Shango was supposed to run out and interfere, other people say Harvey was interfering … can you kind of give me the story on what happened there?
Vicious: The deal was there, from what I understood, was I was first told that I was gonna kick out and he was going to put me over. And then none of that happened.
Lovranski: And that’s what they told you.
Vicious: Right.
Lovranski: And what, did they tell Hogan something different?
Vicious: I guess so.
Lovranski: So was this sort of like the Bret Hart kind of screwjob kind of thing?
Vicious: Yeah.
Lovranski: So, and then I guess you left the company shortly after that?
Vicious: I left pretty quick after that.

Lovranski: Because when you were doing .. .and Col. Parker was your manager and the two of you were teaming …
Vicious: I created that guy … I got his name, I wrote his interviews - and I also created the Harlem Heat.
Lovranski: Really?! That’s very interesting. Because I guess Booker and Stevie Ray, they didn’t have a gimmick at the time?
Vicious: Well, they did … when I saw them on that Global, I said, “I like these guys.” I volunteered to go do a benefit for Kerry Von Erich after he killed himself. And I told those guys I want to fight like Hell to get them in, and I did.
Lovranski: Nice, nice. And look - here’s Booker T, he’s still at the top of his game today.
Vicious: Well, in my opinion, the better of the two was Stevie Ray.
Lovranski: Really?!
Vicious: He was twice as smart … I just believe he was more money.
