It was the shortest tag-team match I had in history. They jumped us during the Russian national anthem and doubled-teamed me. And the match was over in less than a minute. The next day I blamed Nikolai and jumped him on TV.

We got up in the air, and Terry Gordy looks over and sees oil coming down the wing. The oil pressure drops. It turned out the mechanic left the oil cap off. Jimmy turns the thing around and got it on the ground before the engine locked up. We were lucky we didn't catch on fire.

I enjoy being the bad guy. It's a lot easier to get people to hate you than to love you.

I've practiced that Russian voice since I was a kid. I've always done imitations of people's voices. I used to do imitations of some of the other guys like Greg Valentine in the locker room.

It shows that foreign investors have increasing trust in Russian companies.
