“I’m sure one day I’ll be back doing my thing with them and being a producer because I love working with the talent behind the scenes. You see, don’t get me wrong, I miss wrestling, I miss being in front of the camera, I miss performing for you guys, but I also found a love working behind the scenes,” Dudley said. “Not only that, but helping the younger talent get to the level that we were at.” [12:17 – 12:40]
