Speaking about if Bill Goldberg ever tried to get in contact with him while he was doing the "Gillberg" gimmick in WWE. Also speaking about when he did the segment with The Rock and Goldberg on an episode of Raw in 2003 on the segment "Rock Concert II": "Goldberg hates my guts. He wanted to kill me. I remember the night I did meet him, the night we did The Rock Concert were I was dancing all the ring and all. They just wanted me to just stand there and tap my foot. So I had to explain to Mr.McMahon about what I wanted to do and he started laughing his ass off and he goes lets do it (laughs)."
 
On his wrestling school "Gillbergs Pro Wrestling Academy." What makes his wrestling school so successful that it will branch to multiple locations. What made his decision for him to branch out the wrestling school: "We have yet to advertise and were packed. Were loaded with students. I would imagine the article on WWE.com "Where are they now" had a lot to do with helping me there. I just want to take it to the next level. I just wanna teach the way we teach. I teach old school ways. Its taught proper and its really good."
  
How long did he feel that the "Gillberg" character in WWE would last the first time he did when he wrestled Luna Vachon on an episode of Raw on the debut of the character. And explains how much of a response he got from the WWE crew backstage: "It was actually supposed to be a one night deal. When I came back through the curtian, I got the highest honor I ever received in pro wrestling. When I came through that curtain, every McMahon, every writer, producer, boys, everybody in the back that was working was standing there clapping, and had tears in there eyes cause they were laughing so hard. That was the highest honor I ever got."

His thoughts on working for WWE without being under contract with WWE for almost 10 years. Did he feel that if he never got anything from WWE, would he have thought about pursuing other interest in his life: "I'm a mark. I love professional wrestling, and to be honest with you, I love the WWE. Let me put it to you this way, I didn't give a crap what I was doing, there were times were I wrestled four or five times a night. I didn't care man. I was there. I was in the locker room with Hulk Hogan, Brutus Beefcake, Jake The Snake, Macho Man. I went to the bar, I sat down to have drinks with them, and I got to rub shoulders with the best of the best. To me it was everything."
