He also touched on his popular and ironic 2000 stint as WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

I was promoting a movie I did called Ready to Rumble and it just so happened that I won the championship, he explained.

They blamed me for ruining WCW, its no longer around, he joked And maybe I did have something to do with it.
