“I wanna say one thing first because it always bothers me in this sense. Mike never went to rehab. I was his rehab, and anytime somebody says, ‘Oh, well WWE paid for rehab.’ I’m like, ‘Well where’s my paycheck because I was the rehab,’ and you know, whatever. People can say what they wanna say but please, do not take away the fact that I’m the one that was making sure he was getting sober, and eating properly and working out again and stretching, going on long walks to get his mind off of those drugs, and if… you could say a lot of things but, they didn’t pay for rehab. They were not his rehab. I was, and WWE is great. There was people that were also in recovery that were coming up to him being like, ‘Oh, if you need someone to talk to, like a sponsor, just let me know and we can talk about it’ and WWE took care of us and they never released him for having a drug issue and that’s great. They took care of us during that time so that’s lovely. But they never took care of his rehab. That was me, all me, washing his clothes, cleaning up his throw-up. That was me. So, if you want to tell whatever — ‘Oh they paid for it.’ Pay me. If you wanna say something, pay me.”
