Sid started off the interview discussing the reason he's not doing the Independents that often right now. Although he could work often he took every book he was offered, he doesn't want to work for promotions that are "under the screen", that don't do much work to get his name out there, that don't have television, and are basically "devaluing" the importance of his return. "Over my history in wrestling," Sid explained, "I've just wrestled a handful of Independents. [I] just wasn't interested in it. I don't want to become somewho who just does the Independents".

Chris mentioned TNA and asked Sid what he thought about potentially working for them, but he's not very interested. "One, I really haven't had an offer from TNA," he began, "two, I probably wouldn't go into TNA because as it stands right now, they're way, way, way away from anything I would be interested in doing". Sid wants to have some sort of success before he retires and he doesn't think TNA could provide that. "That right there would a worser way of cheapening myself than if I did an Independent show". Sid doesn't want to burn a bridge with WWE by going to TNA and even says that if he can't work for Vince and them, he probably won't work at all.

He described an incident with TNA when they first started that is part of the reason he has "a little beef" with them. They contacted Sid while he was still on crutches before they debuted over three years ago and they asked him to sign a Letter of Intent. He said that he was honest with them and told him he couldn't get around very well, but they told him not to worry about it. Jeff was just looking for big names to put on the list and told Sid that they would just show him around in the back a few times. "Of all the people they tried to get to sign, I was the only one that did it," he said, "then when it came time to get things going, they didn't really want to do those things they were talking about. From there, I really just didn't have much interest at all after that".

Sid continued burying (without trying really) TNA and pointing out reasons he wouldn't want to work there. "I know this sounds horrible or maybe rude," he warned, "I wouldn't waste a day working with them that I could be in the gym working out or at the track running". If he gets the opportunity to work for Vince, he wants to make sure that he's in the best shape he's ever been in so he can pull off the end of his career like he's planned out for so long. Speaking of the way he'd like to return, Sid began describing how he'd like to "go out" in WWE if he got the chance.

Sid didn't give complete details of the actual return "angle" that he has worked on for over 10 years, but it does involve him regaining the title for a lengthy run on top and then putting over the "future of the company" on his way out when the time is right. "It's really elaborate," he explained, "but to me, from anything I've seen so far and it hasn't been much, I don't think there's anything they could do or do any better". Sid said that if he got the chance to put this over to Vince McMahon, he's confident that he could sell the idea. However, he is willing to listen to their ideas. He just doesn't think they'll be able to top his with anything.

Chris finished the conversation by asking Sid a very direct question: "Where do you rank yourself of all-time in professional wrestling when it comes to drawing money"? Sid explained first how he wasn't in wrestling while Hogan was at his best. "As a matter of fact, when I came into the WWF, that's exactly what I came in there for," Sid said, "they thought I was the next person who was going to draw that kind of money...which I did draw that kind of money". Sid said that like Hogan, he also drew a lot of money with a lot of different people, which there's not many others that have done. Within his era, Sid said that he would put himself up there at One or Two, not counting Hogan. He even compares himself to Austin and the Rock claiming that they only drew major money one time, while he drew it a handful of times. Interesting comments.
