Zane Bresloff would have definitely been there, I would have used Zane as a sounding board but I would have not have put him in a [creative] room.

It would have been a bad call on my part, clearly, cause Jeremy Borash has proven himself to be a great asset and still is to the WWE. This is not a knock on Jeremy, it’s just a knock on the fact that I didn’t have a relationship with him and didn’t know [what] he was potentially capable of.

I brought Johnny Laurinaitis in cause I couldn’t get Pat Patterson. I said, ‘Look, we need somebody that really understands finishes. Our finishes suck. I don’t have that talent, nobody that I’m working with currently in this room (when I brought Johnny in) has that talent, at least not to the degree that we need it and since we can’t get Pat Patterson who can we get?’

And the feedback I was getting from everybody I talked to who I had respect for and really knew, Johnny’s name kept coming up so I brought Johnny in and Johnny would have definitely been a big part of, not only creative, he would have been, I don’t want to say right hand man, but he would have been a partner in running the operation for sure.

At the front of the bus, right next to me in creative. Dusty Rhodes had some pretty far out ideas. Dusty lived in another world creatively. He was a visionary and sometimes with visionaries the ideas don’t get fleshed out as well as they should. Sometimes you’re so ahead of yourself but it’s hard for other people to catch up.

Let me sum it up, you could slow a fast horse down, but you can’t speed a slow horse up. That’s Dusty. Dusty was a f**kin’ creative thoroughbred, but sometimes you had to slow him down. Sometimes he was so far ahead he was running two races ahead from where we are right now and you had to kind of bring him back to center.

You need those big whacky ideas, you need those. Doesn’t mean you’re going to do them all, or any of them, but those big ideas, you can often slow that horse down and bring them into the track that you’re on and win races with them so Dusty would have been right there with me.”
