Ricky Steamboat talks WWE departures:
In 1988...
"I never knew about rumors of dropping the Intercontinental Championship to Butch Reed, after Randy and I had that match, we took the status of the Intercontinental belt, I feel, to another level. We took it up a notch. And I wanted to take time off because my first born, Richie, was going to be born, and I wanted to be there, and be there for my wife, and I just didn't want to miss it. I had been gone and I had been on the road a number of years. I just wanted to be there for the moment. I understood that the championship being brought to that new level, it's business to me being away and it laying dormant. I understood that. For me to drop it to Honky Tonk, I think I took about four or five months, maybe longer, of time, business-wise when you have a championship belt that has just been elevated like that and then it's not being seen, we've got to keep the belt moving, so yeah, I dropped it to Honky Tonk."
In 1991...
"I don't know if there was politics involved, I really don't, if I remember, I think they dropped the name 'Ricky Steamboat' and they announced me as 'The Dragon'. I had this new outfit, this dragon outfit, I'm blowing fire in the ring, so the company came to me and said, 'we want to start from scratch and repackage you and do it that way.' I started right off with this character-type guy and blowing fire from the get-go. I understood, to me, however I started out, I knew that I would get my work over or get the character over, and, unfortunately, I think it was when nine or 10 months had gone by and I was still in that slot of below the main event card type guy. And I just felt, 'I'm doing everything I can and it looks as though maybe in their eyes it's not getting me there.' For my business, for Ricky Steamboat, that's when I moved on and went back to WCW. It was the repackaging profile that I remember correctly."
Holy Foley:

Hogan coming back:

"The Hulkster, he really is a good guy and we didn't talk about it, because it's not done yet but it's all but done, he's coming back to the WWE and from what I understand, and again, we didn't talk about it, he's going to wrestle again at an event. Hogan is coming back to WWE. It's not done yet but it is all but done. The Hulkster will be back!"
