When I was a kid at four years old, that's when I started amateur wrestling with my dad and family. And when that's instilled in you, it never goes away.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Instead of being like the other kids going to soccer or football practice, I was wrestling every day.
I became a wrestling fan in college. So, I was more of a wrestling fan as an adult than when I was a little kid.
My wrestling and family go together. It's always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.
I grew up watching wrestling.
Most parents were, like, Little League coaches and all that. My dad was a wrestling fan. Instead of going out and playing home run derby with my old man, we just watched wrestling together.
My dad is the reason I actually started watching wrestling. My dad was never big into sports; we were all big into sports as kids, and he'd go to our Little League games or whatever and not really know what was going on, because he didn't know about sports, but he knew about wrestling.
Since the day I was born, wrestling has sustained me and my family. It's the way my father fed me; it's the way I feed my kids. More importantly, wrestling is my greatest release. It's been such a blessing for me. I can step into the ring and let it all go - all my anger, all my frustration, all my pain.
In high school and college all my friends and my brother wrestled.
When I was wrestling, I was 19, I was young.
When I was a kid, I wrestled my high school amateur wrestling in junior year.
