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.

I mean I had accomplished a goal I had set at 10 years old, I told my mom at that time that I was going to be a wrestler one day, and I was going to be champion, everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

I set some lofty goals for myself and I think you have to.

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?

I knew Funkasaurus wasn't winning the World Championship, but I knew Brodus Clay could have.

Anybody that thinks hanging out with Snoop is fun, is cool, you're in for a rude awakening because he is the most down to earth, boring dude ever.

I packed my bags and went back to California and actually put wrestling behind me. I actually thought, well you know what, I thought it was crazy I made it once and to think I'm going to come back or whatever was unrealistic goal. So I went back to bodyguarding and substitute teaching.

John Cena actually showed up to do a song with Snoop in L.A. and he walked in and was like, ‘What the hell are you doing here?' I was like, ‘You didn't know? I got let go. I'm back bodyguarding now. He was like, ‘What? That's crazy!' I was like, ‘It's all good. Good to see you. Appreciate it.'"

Wrestling, football, basketball, and baseball were the four things I was obsessed with as a kid.

We need term limits desperately in this country.

Make America Great Again was a political slogan. It was used before, I believe Ronald Reagan used it before. It was about making America great and rallying America. Unfortunately, I would say 10 percent of the population that voted for President Trump has a different view. They have embraced it as ‘Make America White Again.'"

My mother didn't play being disrespectful to women. I was around grandmas and aunts. You learned pretty quick to be respectful!
