If Cactus Jack didn't think he'd get in some bother for spitting on the WCW Tag Team Championship and throwing it to the ground during one of his first ECW promos, he was being naive. If he did but played dumb, it was only because he wasn't keen on the way things were going in his existing role.

To reset; Jack had been permitted to work some ECW dates in "dream" matches with Sabu that brought together the men deemed to be the craziest in all of wrestling. It was part of a working relationship that evidently didn't develop beyond background conversations with Kevin Sullivan and Tod Gordon over the years, In trying to get across how much the wars meant, he said the belt meant "nothing" compared to the title of being craziest man alive.

In his first autobiography, he professes his innocence, but talks at length about his creative issues with booker Ric Flair and WCW's management of his career as a whole. He may not have wished to disrespect the company's prize, but he was becoming gradually happier to let it go.
