That Monday, I’m going to the elevator, and Naitch’s at the bar, ‘Diamond!’ Calls me over for a drink. He said, ‘So what time you flying home tomorrow?’ I said, ‘7:30.’
He’s like, ‘What? Who booked that sh*t?’ I go, ‘Not me. I tried to change it. I can’t change it.’ He said, ‘F**k that! I got the limousine. I got the Learjet. You’re still in Atlanta right?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘You’re coming home with me. You and Brenda, you’re coming home with me.
I go, ‘Naitch, I got all these huge bags.’ You know me. I am like the Griswolds. He’s like, ‘FedEx that sh*t home. You’re coming with me. You’re a Hall of Famer now, not taking no for an answer,’ and we met.
We had a couple drinks. The storms were bad. We went back to the bar and a few more drinks. We got on a plane, and Naitch gets up and gets in the copilot seat. And I’m like, ‘Uh Ric? You ain’t driving this thing are you?’ He’s had a few, and bottom line is we landed.
And Brenda had told him that it was my birthday and then he had to take me out to dinner, and I mean, it was the completion of a dream that I couldn’t even make up because Dusty and him had this, but they loved each other.
They loved each other, and everyone in our business, I don’t care who tried to hold me down, whatever issue I have with anybody.
I have no issue with anyone. We are a family. We are brothers together, and for me personally, I love every single one of those guys that I’ve been on the road with, that I’ve been in the ring with, that we’ve been able to share our lives with because especially bro, as you get up into your mid-60’s, you look at that life differently. There is no ego that checks in with me at any time.
I know who I am. I know who you are. I know who Ric is, but to me, we’re all family man, because no one knows what we did unless they were there with us.”
