I always wanted to become a good role model for kids as a professional football player. Unfortunately, I didn't attain that through football, but I was smart enough to realize that professional wrestling provided another opportunity for that.

I made the final decision to become a professional wrestler because I was able to look at Sting and what he was able to do inside and outside the ring.

As a professional wrestler, it's not my position to be the booker, to formulate a match, unless you're asked to do that.

The writer and the director are ultimately responsible for what is portrayed and glorified in a film. Then comes the producer.
