Oh, Billy

“If the money was right, I’d go out there and do it in two seconds … I’d have to be totally prepared for it, because I wouldn’t want to tarnish my image, but I’d like to be in the ring one more time so that my wife and my son can see me wrestle live.”

Billy Goldberg, my door has always been open, of course, and my demands have always been the same. Ill give you all the money you wants. All I ask is that you punch a car without breaking yourself.

In all seriousness, Billy has been saying this for years, and his line has always been the same. “if the money was right”. Do you really think all those kids that are supposedly entertained by you like the fact that you refuse to be their monkey due to a lack of benjamins? They don’t. They look at you for what you are, a selfish hogan-like entity who thinks he’s above wrestling.

Except you know what, billy? Nobody likes the guy who thinks he’s better than wrestling. Have you seen the celebrities we’ve had this year? Every single one of them wanted to be part of the show. There isn’t a single entertainer out there who doesn’t sometimes wish they’d chosen our stage ove theirs. Ask the Miz. He was a reality star. Ask Kurt Angle. He was an olympian. Ask Maryse. She was a model. Ask Vader. He was a real estate guy. Ask Chris Nowinski. He’s a Harvard graduate (although that’s not exactly difficult).

Actually, don’t ask Nowinski anything. He doesn’t like us anymore.

My point is, people don’t do wrestling for the money. You can make better money elsewhere. You wrestle because, in the words of a stupid little man, whether you like it or you don’t like it, its the best thing going today. Billy, you never understood that.
