I never imagined as a kid that anybody could beat up 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff because Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan convinced me he was the toughest guy, that Andre The Giant was bigger than life, that Hulk Hogan was amazing and dug down deep.
Rob MacIntyre, who I trained with, was a big reason behind me dropping me a hundred and 50 pounds.
Good men make good decisions.
Yeah, no desire to live in New York. Giant buildings and it's cold and I'm a big Patriot, Red Sox's fan. What can I possibly do for fun in New York?
My mother didn't play being disrespectful to women. I was around grandmas and aunts. You learned pretty quick to be respectful!
Vince McMahon said to Triple H, 'Are you sure he's a heel? I don't know. He's funny.' He decided he wanted me to be a babyface and when they came to me they said, 'You can say no, but here's what we're looking at. Funkasaurus is the fastest way to be back on TV.'
Watching 'WrestleMania' growing up, it was like a neighborhood party. It was like the Super Bowl on my block, the only difference was, football was only around for 16 weeks while wrestling was every Saturday.
Everything changes from week to week in WWE, and that's what's cool about it. All it takes is one minute you're smiling and the next minute you can be a savage.
Bipartisanship and decency are thrown to the waste side because people want their party to win so badly.
I had a very good babyface run, but establishing a monster heel - which I think I would have excelled at - and a poor WrestleMania track record is a hard pill to swallow.
I was discovered by Tommy Dreamer.
I think if I was like Fred Astaire out there or like break dance fighting and doing crazy splits and stuff like that I think people would be like, 'ehhhh, I'm just going to watch him,' but the fact that they're like, 'I can do that,' it's fun and I think they lose themselves.
You know, anytime you take one group and you blame them for a problem, there is an issue.
If you commit to something, you believe it and you have fun with it, people are going to respect that.
Experience wise you've got to give it to the Bella Twins but in terms of just overall effort, athleticism, and just work ethic, the Funkadactyles are there with them.
I'm always teasing and clowning around and laughing and in the locker room I tend to always have something to say.
Triple H, he's a man's man.
So that's kind of like how I was, even body guarding with guys I was more of a talker and ran my mouth and smiled and stuff and it kept people off, especially if a guy's is fired up and you're laughing at him or smiling or winking at him it just messes with their mind.
I used to work for a spot called the 'Saddle Ranch.'
I was actually doing very well, traveling the world with Snoop. So I was kind of doing that. I would have dreams at night about wrestling and stuff but I kept it very quiet.
