Go out of your way to hear Justin Credible's appearance on Booker T's Heated Conversations podcast. Credible discussed everything from snorting lines of cocaine as his entrance music played in ECW to his well-documented alcohol/drug addictions away from the ring.

It's a better interview than the one with Steve Austin referenced last week.

One of the most candid points of the chat came when Credible opened up about his WWE return in 2001. As a World Champ and main event player in ECW, Justin felt like a superhero. That all changed when he walked into a locker room containing names like The Undertaker, The Rock and more. Suddenly, Credible felt a lot less than that.

The very word he used was "emasculated". To Justin, shaking his prior status as a jobber in the WWF was impossible even though he'd been a big star in ECW. Credible noted that nobody made him feel unwelcome, he just couldn't see himself as deserving of anything more than a low-card spot.
