"Dangerous" Danny Davis sat down with the Wrestling Epicenter podcast and covered a lot of ground, including revealing that Vince McMahon Sr. wanted Hulk Hogan to dye his hair red and speak with an Irish accent before Vince Jr. took over, three Owen Hart rib stories, and the most direct statement he has made about what WWE meant to his life.

On Vince McMahon: "Without Vince McMahon, I would either be dead or in jail. Now, I'm not saying Vince McMahon is an angel. I'm just saying that to me, in my life, without Vince McMahon, I would be dead or in jail."

On Hulk Hogan: "Vince McMahon Sr. wanted him to be an Irishman. He wanted him to dye his hair red and speak with an Irish accent. Vince McMahon Jr. took over. And Hulk Hogan was everything Vince McMahon envisioned a wrestler should be. He was the right guy at the right time. And he did the most with it."

On Owen Hart's coffee pot rib: "There's a rumor going around that Owen Hart put a handful of valium in the coffee pot. We had a 50-gallon coffee pot and he put valium in it. Everyone was walking around not really sure what was going on."

On becoming the first major heel referee: "That sort of happened by accident. I was out there calling them as I saw them and the people started to notice and react. I would catch heat for it when I'd go back through the curtain but they said, 'That is a heck of an idea,' and let me keep doing it when I didn't even know they were watching me."
