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

Pardon me, not to sound elitist, but I wanted to put something together that I would enjoy. I thought at that time, what satiated me, what interested me, what intrigued me, I thought other people would like also. And you blend that with some forward thinking of predicting the UFC and MMA were going to be ultimately as big as it became.

I'm also a devoted father, and you see that side of me at the same time.

I think it's widely known at this stage that I am willing to put past differences aside and make some money and do the right thing for the fans. If it happens, it happens. It's all good. If it doesn't, I truly am not going to miss a beat of my life.

I spar with 18-year-old kids that try to kick my ass all the time. As far as going in and doing a wrestling match, I think that pales in comparison, but it's a totally different thing. It's completely different. You have to condition your body.

Georgia Dome was a pretty big eye opener that I had something kind of going in the right direction. It seemed like a movement, and I was greatly appreciative for the chants and the signs.

I am always a competitor and my wife and son have never seen me wrestle.
