You don't really measure the year until the whole year is done. I'm sure there are some concerned people, including the coaches right now.

If you are afraid to fail, you will never succeed.

When my wrestlers got their hands raised, I jumped for joy.

I can take anyone down at anytime; they can't take me down; no one can ride or turn me; I can control anyone.

But we've got to work. We can't just live on reputations at all - by any means.

My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.

I vowed I wouldn't ever let anyone destroy me again. I was going to work at it every day, so hard that I would be the toughest guy in the world. By the end of practice, I wanted to be physically tired, to know that I'd been through a workout. If I wasn't tired, I must have cheated somehow, so I stayed a little longer.
