You can have a wrestling idea, but you need to have these momentum-shifting moves. We had the Hulkamania movement, then it shifted to the beer-drinking, Stone Cold era, we reinvented the business with growing the black beard and becoming the bad guy, what's that next level.

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've been around so long and no matter if I've done good things or bad things, or my personal life has been good or bad, the fans have always stuck with me.

Then as I was wrestling as Terry Boulder. I was on a talk show with Lou Ferrigno, and I was actually bigger than he was! I went back to the dressing room that night and all of the wrestlers go 'Oh my God you're bigger than the hulk on TV' so they started calling me Terry 'The Hulk' Boulder.

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

A lot of people didn't realize that with the carpet being pulled out from under me in such a short time frame I got to such a bad place.

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