Growing up, I idolized Big Boss Man and Bam Bam Bigelow just because they were big guys who could move and were tough. I felt like they both rode motorcycles. And Bam Bam had his head tattooed. Those are the guys who really got me into wrestling.
You look at me: you see the tattoos, and I ride a motorcycle.
The fact that people don't like me doesn't bother me.
I aim to bring a little pain, and a little roughness to what I do.
We have amazing people that help us backstage, and Arn Anderson is someone I always like to look to. He's a legend in his own right.
End of Days is a lot of impact; it makes people open their eyes. It makes a statement.
I've always been a dominant and violent person.
I'm pretty good with being calculated in what I do, when I'm going to make my mark on somebody.
One time, I was practicing against the Tennessee Titans, and one of their defensive linemen took a cheap shot at our running back, so I planted him.
Our dad was an iron worker, a really tough guy. He raised us to be strong and stand up for ourselves. Whatever we want, we go and get it. Sometimes, you have to take it.
I really want to test my athletic ability, my toughness, and my skills against those guys who are in my ballpark size-wise.
I don't respect anyone who has a background on the independent circuit.
It's the fun part of this business: you never know what your day is gonna hold. Some things could be very, very last-minute. It could be at that very last second. So, it's pretty wild, and it keeps you on your toes. That's for sure.
Billy Gunn, Bill DeMott, and Dusty Rhodes all helped me find myself and how to express it to people so they understand.
I'd like the chance to stand in the ring and punch the Undertaker in the face.
I was in the top 1 percent of football players. Indie guys are in the bottom 95 percent of wrestlers.
Fear of failure is a great thing. It pushes you past your comfort levels.
When you have an icon that wants you to succeed, it's awesome.
I have a brother; we had some good brawls.
Everybody always asked why I wanted to be an offensive lineman. I told them that I had 11 different people I can hit on every single play, while everyone else is chasing one person. I prided myself on being an extremely physical and dominant player.
