"Vince and I were really close. It was the last year and half during my first run in the WWE that I got out of control. I was doing a lot of painkillers; I was getting injured quite a bit. I was wrestling full time. It was really getting to me. I was taking up to 65 extra-strength Vicodin a day. I was a wreck. Vince did not know this. Back then, they didn't have that drug policy, so up until 2005-2006, they started drug testing. Before that, you could do whatever you wanted."
"I was really screwed up - psychically, mentally, psychologically, and I had to leave. When I did leave, Vince and I never spoke again, until I came back, two years ago. The first time we saw each other, we hugged each other. I apologized to him for the things I did and said, and he said, 'Don't worry about it.' So, we're back to normal. Vince has always been a father figure to me. I never wanted to intentionally hurt him."
"In 2006 I decided I wanted to quit, and my manager and I, we went to the WWE Headquarters. What happened was I injured myself, really badly. My hamstring and groin there was blood all over across my genitals. The blood was running down both of my legs on the inside, like a bruising. I showed it to Vince when we had our meeting, and I said we need to talk Vince because I'm not doing very well."
"So, he pulls out about five pages of text messages and phone call messages I sent him, and I'm reading them. It says, 'Vince, I'm going to beat the shit out of you when I see you. Vince, you better answer my call or I'm going to kick your ass.' Really, really crazy stuff. I don't remember sending him those. Unfortunately, at the time, I was taking painkillers, and every once and a while, I would blackout."
"So, he showed me all of these messages, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God,' I actually said this stuff. He stood up, took his jacket off, and said, 'You want to kick my ass, let's go right now.' I was like 'Oh, my God, I can't believe Vince McMahon wants to beat my ass.' This guy has been my father figure for seven years, I have too much respect for him to stand up, but he wanted to go. I left the room, came back, and I just broke down. I told him I can't do this anymore, I need you to release me, and he did."
"Yes, he wanted me to go to rehab. He said 'I want you to go for a couple months, and then come back in six months, and we'll start your contract back up.' I said no. I decided I was going to leave and go to TNA."
"I knew deep down I had a problem, but I was in denial for so many years. I didn't consider rehab until I got hit with a DUI, and it was my fourth one. The reason why I never quit or went to rehab was because when I went to court, my DUI case would either be thrown out or be a lesser offense. To me, I was like I don't have a problem. The last DUI, I was in jail, and I called my wife, and she said she couldn't do this anymore, I'm going to leave you. She said if I went to rehab, she would consider staying. I went because of my wife and kids. It was the best move I ever made."
