On returning to WWE for RAW 25:
TD: It was great. It was great to see everyone again. I have a lot of fun with JBL. He’s a great guy, smart guy, he really knows his stuff. I told him, “You know JBL, often imitated but never duplicated. You were just a cowboy version of me!” (Laughs)
On if JBL concedes that he took his character from Ted:
TD: He told me, “Look man, I stole your character!” Of course that’s what he’s gonna say. He said, “I stole your character and I DID IT BETTER!” I think a couple of years ago at WrestleMania it was him, me and Alberto Del Rio. We all took a picture together and I tagged it, “three generations of the same gimmick.”
