"I would like to comment on the widespread internet rumor that I am returning to the WWF or WCW - same thing these days. There is absolutely no truth to it whatsoever. The concussion that I sustained when Bill Goldberg gave me a mule kick to my head on December 19, 1999 ended my wrestling career. A lot of people are throwing around the ole, never say never in wrestling...but this is one case where I can tell you with certainty that I will never wrestle again."
"Thank you all sincerely for wanting to see me wrestle again. No one wants that more than me but with a head injury like what I have the risk is just too high. I look forward to entertaining my fans in other ways, like occasional guest spots on TV and I'm working on a book that I think you will like a lot. To all of my fans, thank you for your loyalty and support. The adventure has just begun!"
