"Ahhh... the Blow Away Diet!  This happened during my last WWF run.  A lot of people think this was designed to make fun of me, when in reality it was something that Jimmy Hart and I came up with, ourselves.  We had been discussing this little skit for a while, and decided it was worth pitching to our boss, Vince McMahon.  He loved it."

"We filmed the skit over the course of a day, in-between my regular wrestling schedule.  The whole idea was that I ate anything I wanted, then just needed to cover myself with this miracle product (Blow Away!) to stay a slim, trim 217 pounds.  Of course, it didn't work -- that's the joke."

"I made money filming the skit that was comparable to what I earned in some of my main event matches, so it was worth the little bit of self-humiliation.  But I was in on the joke, and I have never felt like I was exploited.  And people still talk about the Blow Away Diet to this very day."
