When asked about giving away Raw results on the air, his explanation was, "Because I enjoy it. Yeah, that's another break the rules kind of thing. I'm out to kind of re-invent what wrestling is. If people want me to produce a wrestling show under the same rules, same guidelines, using the same formulas that have been done for years and years, then they're going to be really upset with me because I'm not going to do that. For wrestling to grow, for us to get the attention of the masses of bodies, I'm not talking about the hardcore obsessed fan out there, but I'm talking about the people that make up that 3.0 and 3.5 rating. for me to make this fun to watch, I've got to do things that are a little outside the box, so to speak. And one of the things I like to do is break rules. And if one of the rules is, `Don't ever acknowledge your competition, don't ever give away the results of a show that you're heads-up against,' then I'm going to break every rule."
When asked about sitting down with Vince McMahon to settle the feud, he said, "Vince McMahon is an egomaniacal punk. And Vince McMahon's ego would not allow him to sit down. First of all, Vince McMahon's ego won't ever allow him to admit that I'm the one who is kicking his (butt) every week. He's out there trying to paint this picture that Ted Turner is beating him up. Ted Turner has so many things he has to tend to. I don't think Vince McMahon's name flashes through Ted Turner's mind more than once a year or twice a year (Meltz note: even if that were the case at one point, that couldn't be the case now because those skits had to get Turner's attention in a big way weekly). Ted Turner doesn't make the day-to-day decisions about WCW. He hasn't hired anybody, hasn't negotiated any deals that I've negotiated over the last year-and-a-half, hasn't made any decisions that have really catapulted WCW to the position we're in right now. But Vince McMahon wants the world to believe that it's a battle between him and Ted turner. I guess he figures he can draw more sympathy by saying he gets beat up by Ted Turner than by realizing he gets beat up by Eric Bischoff. So, as long as his ego and his sense of reality is as contorted as it is, I don't ever see the opportunity to sit down and discuss."
As luck would have it, this appeared in the 4/14 Miami Herald and McMahon was in Boca Raton, FL that day and saw the article. McMahon in response through a company source said that he couldn't believe Bischoff said those things because he doesn't even know Bischoff and that the only time he believes he ever met him was years ago when Bischoff was in the office for an audition for a job as a TV announcer (which he didn't get). In another article, in response to McMahon's claim that WCW's steroid policy is absurd, Bischoff said, "That's very interesting coming out of a guy who uses his drug-testing procedure, apparently based on what we're hearing, with selective enforcement." The rest of Bischoff's quote wound up on the cutting room floor but he did point to the Razor Ramon coincidence.
