After watching wrestling for 20 years, I thought I had enough confidence to do it. There were no wrestling schools at the time.

I know what happens every time I get in front of a UK crowd - they just go nuts and they are so nice and excited and crazy and they won't sit down.

To all my little Hulkamaniacs, say your prayers, take your vitamins and you will never go wrong.

We're probably the opposite of the Osbournes. We run a very tight ship.

When you start out in the wrestling business, you make a lot of mistakes, tripping over your own feet and looking like a fool.

I used to be a session musician before I was a wrestler. I played bass guitar. I was big pals with Lars Ulrich, and he asked me if I wanted to play bass with Metallica in their early days, but it didn’t work out.

I promised each and every Hulkamaniac when I went to that great battlefield in the sky I would bring the WWF title with me.
