It wasn't until after I received my education that I seriously looked at sports entertainment as a way to make a career for myself. And they've got to take it in stride. It's very much like acting or playing professional sports: One percent of one percent of the people who try out for it can actually say they make their living off of doing it.

When I hear people boo, that just makes me want to go out there and work harder.

Thank you guys. Thank you for never giving up on me.

I don't play a character. It's totally just an extension of myself.

I think we all have experiences when we were young where we either had an interaction with someone we admired or you know, had a vision of how they were and found out that they weren't necessarily that and that it tends to be a big let down sometimes.

Seriously, I grew up a fan of Hulk Hogan, and I think I bring some of his best values to the ring... the values of a superhero. Always do your best. Never give up... I think kids want to believe in that, and they should believe in that.

Thank you for letting idiots like me, come out and live this wonderful wonderful dream. I love you to death. Lets go home.
