I loathe crowds. I especially don't like cities. A city involves biomass. And biomass gets to me.
Those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.
I've always loved Newcastle. Even when you're watching their games on television, you can feel the passion of the crowd.
Obviously, playing in front of your home crowds really does a lot for your level.
I'm too scared to perform onstage. I'm not very good with big crowds.
It's nice when you know the crowd are on your side. I can only repay them by working my hardest when I do get on and trying to impress them.
I'm like the Ben Affleck of crowd surfing.
I like to say whatever comes to mind when I am in the ring and work off the reaction from the crowd.
The most important thing about being in wrestling is that you have to connect with the crowd, connect with the fans, and you either want them to love you, or to hate you. Either way, so long as they're reacting to what you're doing.
When I started at Portsmouth in 1974 there was a strong National Front element in the crowd and they would abuse me even though I played for their team. Racist abuse was part of the game and it was never challenged.
