He mainly just bitched that they kept offering him one-shot, low paid deals (such as an angle with Randy orton to be another 'killed legend'). His reasoning was he didn't need the money to simply show up on TV and get killed by Orton, he takes home double what WWE offered him for an angle by wrestling on the indy scene and gets to go over, whereas showing up on WWE TV just for the sake of being on TV and getting killed by Orton would lower his stock and be an unneccesary inconvenience.
He never said he wouldn't ever go back, he just said he would never go back just for the sake of it or to be a mark for being on TV, only if they gave him some kind of reasonable deal. I'm guessing this angle with Santino will run for a little while, with Honky trying to prevent Santino from breaking the I-C title record. With the promise of a few paydays and not to simply show up on TV and gets soundly beaten, looks like Honky was happy to play along.
What DID make me laugh was Honky and Piper shaking hands and acting like pals on TV at Cyber Sunday. If anybody had seen half the shit they've said and written about each other, you'd know how deliciously ironic that scene was.
