I'm asked all the time who the next big thing is in NXT and I always say I'm not going to say because it puts too much pressure on them.
If you've got the talent it'll shine through.
Unfortunately, sometimes the unexpected can be something that you wish you never encountered.
I remember the original injury happening in 1993, when I first was in WCW, and I've had a few neck injuries since, but with no pain. There was some pain, here and there, but not much. Eventually, it turned into a major problem, with my legs not moving well, so I had to have surgery done.
People saw I was in horrendous shape when I was in the WWF. They suggested I go into rehab. I was in that much denial.
Alexander Rusev is one of the most incredible things I've seen in my entire 30-year career. He's a ferocious monster.
I didn't know what a good technical wrestler was when I was little - it was people that made me scream or boo or cheer.
Wrestling died. It had a comeback in the early '90s just through word of mouth with Brian Dixon's shows.
It doesn't matter how good you are, it's about connecting with your audience. It doesn't matter how technically good you are, if nobody wants to watch you then you're no good to anybody.
Everybody is different; as long as you look like you belong and you can fit in, the world is you oyster now.
NXT is the part of the WWE that is about competition. It's not sports entertainment, it's the pro wrestling side and that's what we do.
