- Jimmy talked about the first Wrestlemania being one of his career highlights. He said back then, everyone was scared to death of Vince and Jimmy was happy that he was one of the guys that Vince chose to be part of something really big. When Jimmy arrived, the WWF booker told him who he was going to manage, and when Hogan asked if Jimmy would be managing him, Jimmy said that he was just going to be a heel manager. He talked about Wrestlemania IX and how Hogan suffered a jet ski accident two days before. Nobody thought Hogan could wrestle, and he told them he was just wearing makeup even though he was really in extreme pain.
- Jimmy talked about Vince McMahon and how he never has anything bad to say about Vince, because Vince is the reason he is doing this interview today. Jimmy said that back then there werent guarenteed contracts and he made sure that he made every PPV, every Saturday Nights Main Event, and every other big show. Once he got his foot in the door with Vince, he kept his foot there by not bitching and just doing his job. Vince saw somebody use a megaphone in Japan, and he gave it to Jimmy to use just like Mr. Fuji used a cane. All Jimmy did was just paint it up to match his jackets.
- Jimmy talked about how great Dusty Rhodes is at interviews, and how he would catch Florida Championship Wrestling just to see Dusty cut a promo. Jimmy also talked about he preferred the old days when Vince McMahon or somebody else would announce all the matches and segments at the top of the program, instead of today where commisioners would make matches during the show and then rearrange matches during the show. He said that Memphis tries to be like the old days and they keep the show clean. Jimmy talked about doing Memphis Championship Wrestling today, and how they did a 5.1 Saturday rating on the local UPN affiliate.
