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

I feel really good right now. It will really be a tough decision. It's so hard to give up what you love doing. Hanging up the boots will not be an easy thing to do.

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.

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

I'm 58 years old and I just went through 8 back surgeries. They started cutting on me in February 2009, and I was basically bed ridden for almost two years. I got a real dose of reality that if you don't have your health, you don't have anything.

I love to give the fans what they want. They're what I miss most when I'm not wrestling. That time in the ring is like being in heaven for me.

I've been knocked out a few times , but I have no idea how many concussions I've ever had.
