Well thanks alot, that was pretty cool.

Here's what he said...
Says Austin’s heel turn never really worked because the fans could never really accept Austin as a villain.
Kurt Angle is still deciding to go to the 2004 Olympics. Whatever he decides he has the full backing of the WWF. However at this very moment the chances of him going are less than 50/50.
Says he is really good friends with Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler off air, as they share the same tastes in food and music. Also shares his love of ‘puppies’ but his wife doesn’t like him talking about it so Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler gets all those lines.
Was asked where the word ‘slobberknocker’ comes from. Says he used it first about 20 years ago. It is actually an American football term which basically means someone getting hit so hard that it knocks the drool, or ‘slobber’, from their mouth. So it literally means being hit so hard it knocks the drool from your mouth. He also claims that since he started using it football commentators have begun to as well.
Said he started to watch wrestling at 5 years old on TV. He got involved when he met ‘Cowboy’ Bill Watts, who got him a place in the business.
His other jobs in wrestling have been TV syndicator, marketing rep and referee!
Said his favourite wrestlers in the WWF right now are Undertaker, Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin. He said SCSA was his favourite, because of their background.
Says his favourite diva is Terri – because they have known each other the longest out of all of them.
He says he is ‘surprised’ by Hogan’s popularity; he calls this current run ‘nostalgic’. He also added he is enjoying this time as it’s the first time he is working with Hogan – but how long he remains popular is anyone’s guess.
Says we will be seeing less of The Rock, but it will be ‘years’ before he leaves. He says the Rock recently told him he wants to work a WWF schedule in the near future. JR also said the Scorpion King’s (which he likens to the Indiana Jones franchise) popularity will help other wrestlers.
He says his personal hero were his parents. Away from them he mentioned John Wayne and Mickey Mantle.
Believes these guys should get a push in the WWF because they paid their dues…
Edge
Test
William Regal
RVD
Brock Lesnar
Said the WWF have been in on/off discussions with Scott Steiner for months. He said he would fit in well and they would sign him instantly, but it isn’t that simple. Said he needs COMPLETE medical clearance first.
He said the nicest person in the WWF is Linda McMahon.
Someone asked what he would be called if he were a wrestler – he answered Rembrandt, because he would spend all his time on the canvas!
Said if he wasn’t in the WWF he would probably commentate on other sports.
And that’s about it!

Hehe, is that all he said? I guess he doesn't have much time, and doesn't want to give away too much.
I'm guessing he ignored the Mick Foley question because he doesn't want to answer it...could be good, or bad.
Thanks again mate. Keeps my hopes up. {:)

Nothing too conclusive, but the possibility is there. Maybe, since they brought Eddie Guerrero's back, GMS could be back soon? I really hope so.
Unfortunately, my question about Mick Foley's future with the WWF wasn't answered. :(

Unfortunately, my question about Mick Foley's future with the WWF wasn't answered. :(
