Watts talks about his time working for WWE:

Well, you know everything in the WWE is scripted. It was such a disappointment, the three months I was with Vince [McMahon], I’ll never forget, there was a problem that happened, we won’t go into it, where everybody was late and we were having a television shoot, and I had two top stars and they were going to have like a ten minute match, and they didn’t have enough time to get ready for it cause they only had an hour before show time. An hour for a ten minute match! I was fractured.
