- That's close enough.
- Hugh thinks it's funny that they're talking over satellite when they see each other every week and Scott and Mike have nothing to say to him.
- Tenay asks about Hugh's background.
- Hugh says Tenay should know, since he's the Professor, although he never mentions Hugh's background.
- So he tells Scott instead - he started after college, just something to keep busy, "I didn't know anything about wrestling at the time - some say, I don't know anything about wrestling now."
- Mike says he knew the announcer - he was just a conduit for fans.
- Scott asks if it's true that his father got him into wrestling.
- Hugh says yes - his dad saw him becoming a coach potato, so after playing college football, he pushed him to try wrestling, Hugh met the Unpredictable Johnny Rodz, and got started.
- Hugh says Mike would know that - but they don't talk any more.
- Scott asks if Hugh did a tour of Japan as Jason the Terrible and Crash the Terminator.
- Hugh says Crash is right, but for "the fourteenth millionth time", he's not Jason - that was some other fat guy from New Jersey.
- Hugh says he never wrestled in the states except for his training, till he got into WCW.
- "Not Jason the Terrible."
- Tenay recounts Hugh's early history - he started off on Worldwide and Saturday Night and then got in with the Dungeon of Doom.
- Hugh recalls being "the Man of Question" and had a
run with Randy Savage, and then he got into the Dungeon of
Doom.
- Hugh explains the pun in his name.
- Scott asks about if Hugh prefers singles, tag, or hardcore.
- Hugh says he got brought in because of his hardcore wrestling, but also had high school and college wrestling.
- He likes all the different ways he's worked - working with the MIA was the best.
- Tenay asks him what his favorite match was
- Hugh: "The one I won - 'cause I think there was only
one match. I think it was Chad Brock, then he became a country
music star. I still don't know who became famous in that
one."
- Chad Brock was the Power Plant jobber turned real life
country music singer who appeared on Nitro a year or so
back

- Scott brings up Hugh winning the US Title.
- Hugh says that was his own title win - he was proud to represent the whole USA, thanks to Jim Duggan, and his rivalry with Team Canada was one of his crowning moments.
- Tenay asks if Hugh hopes to be WCW World Champion.
- Hugh just wants to make the fans happy - titles are secondary.
- "The thing that bothers me the most is Mike, you say I'm 350 pounds, Scott, you say I'm 325 pounds. I'm 290 pounds. Maybe that's my next match - Hugh Morrus and the announcers."
- Tenay is all upset now, but Scott regains control - are the fans more important than the title?
- Hugh says the fans are what brought you there, everything else is gravy. He does it for the love of the game.
- Tenay asks Hugh how he perfected the top rope moonsault.
- Hugh says he was told that if he didn't do the moonsault, he wouldn't work in Japan again. So he did it. But he has no idea how.
- Scott asks if Hugh looks to anyone in wrestling.
- Hugh says Kevin Nash - 'cause he's so tall. Everyone else is even - he does mark out for Ric Flair, but manages not to do that till he gets back to his room.
- Tenay says that Hugh got an art scholarship - what would he be doing if he wasn't wrestling.
- Hugh says commercial art, probably. Or sitting on the beach.
- Scott asks why Hugh doesn't doodle like Lash.
- Hugh says no one doodles like Lash - he's really good. Lash is only 23. A lot of guys have other talents besides wrestling. Hugh's is Chinese checkers.
- Tenay gives Hugh one opportunity to say something to the fans.
- Hugh takes the opportunity to berate Mike, Scott, Tony and even Stevie Ray for saying that he weighs 350 after he dropped to 290.
- Tenay says that Hugh should put both feet on the scale when he weighs himself.
- Tenay: "325, I'd say."
- Hudson: "It's 10 after 2."
