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

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.

In the ring, it's fun to be the bad guy, but 24 hours a day, when you have to talk to kids, and you see Make-A-Wish kids that love you, the bad guy stuff is not fun. I'd rather be a good guy 24 hours a day than a bad guy just for a few minutes in the ring.

Wrestling needs to be about the art form again. It needs to be about painting a picture and having a really good match.

Whatcha gunna do when Hulkamanina and my 24 pythons run wild on you?!?!?!!?

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