Wrestler

I travel all over the United States basically in evangelism, speaking in churches, speaking in prisons, speaking in rehab centers wherever I can basically sharing my story of redemption and the turnaround in my life.

So I went to WCW for three years and quite frankly, it was the most miserable three years of my life in terms of business.

We got in the ring and wrestled almost every night and didn't have many days off... The only thing I knew for certain when I got in the ring was exactly how I went in. We told a story and the match was the story.

I'm a minister, I preach forgiveness all the time.

I don't think Vince McMahon is evil or the devil. I think he's a very shrewd business man.

It doesn't take a lot of preparation for the Rumble compared to how you would prepare for a match where it's you and another guy.

I was smarter when I was 15, 16 than when I was 18 to 26, because instead of caving in to being cool, I stuck close to my convictions and I was rewarded.

I am a minister and I preach forgiveness all time.

When I tagged with Andre, and I loved tagging with Andre, but Andre started having some physical issues, so I did all the bouncing around in the ring, and I did it joyfully.

I have wrestled in front of 80,000 people at Wembley Stadium, and that is a pretty big thrill.

I don't think Vince McMahon is evil or the devil. I think he's a very shrewd business man.

I'm not that kinda guy to hold a grudge.

Even in a given territory what would work in one city in front of one crowd might not work in front of another crowd. Every crowd is different in what they are looking for and what they'll respond to.

Business is business and I take it very serious.

The Million Dollar Man the character is actually a Vince McMahon original. It was presented to me and Vince kind of started laying it out.

My first WrestleMania, which was WrestleMania 4, was a milestone.

When I tagged with Andre, and I loved tagging with Andre, but Andre started having some physical issues, so I did all the bouncing around in the ring, and I did it joyfully.

I've always believed that for kids who that grew up in the industry that it's not just a job, but it's something they fell in love with and something they've known all their lives.

I really spent the better part of the first 12 years of my career wrestling for Mid South. Fond memories, but a grueling territory.

I understand the psychology of the business. I understand who I am and I know how I interact with other people, but that's a gift, the storytelling. Not everybody has that gift and it's kind of like the way I work.
