On the baseball bats that WCW gave him and other NWO members to use on TV when they attacked wrestlers:
BH: They had styrofoam bats. Like they were made of felt and they bent in half like a coat hanger. I remember beating guys over the head and back with these little, soft baseball bats. They would just bend like a boomerang. It was like, “Oh my God! They aren’t even breaking or shattering.” When they bend you can tell that they are bullish*t. I can remember being in the ring with a bunch of NWO guys and we all had these baseball bats that were bent in half and I told them, “Just drop them on the floor. They can’t see them if they’re flat on the floor.” Holding them up and holding them in your hand they’re shaped like a boomerang. It just gives away that they’re bullsh*t. We’re all on TV and I’m like, “Drop them like a hot potato! Don’t even hold them!” I can’t remember who it was in those days but we were all holding them and they were so bullsh*t.
