The fact is that I made a stand a number of times in my career, and I did it because I knew I was right.

At the end of the day, when you are in the front office, your tenure is dictated by the people surrounding you.

I grew up in the Midwest, so we really didn't have much hockey going on.

Luckily I stayed in shape due to wrestling.

I do not get involved in the game to think that it is a future transition for me getting back into the ring. It was not my intention. I've stated many times that I did it for my son.

My character was a homogenization of various things, whether it be the attitude of a Bruiser Brody, or the look of Nikita Koloff or the way that Nikita looked at the people. I took a little bit of what I liked and what I had seen throughout the years from everybody that I was entertained by and made it my own.

I had never imagined myself doing [wrestling]. Once I came to the realization that it was a possibility, I just tried to concentrate on what I thought people would enjoy.
