After watching wrestling for 20 years, I thought I had enough confidence to do it. There were no wrestling schools at the time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One thing I was proud of when I did the college talks was that, although stories revolved around experiences that I had in wrestling, one did not need to be a wrestling fan to enjoy them.
Wrestling is something I feel really confident in now.
Instead of being like the other kids going to soccer or football practice, I was wrestling every day.
I just started watching wrestling in 2008, and I've loved it ever since. I told my mom I wanted to become a wrestler.
I grew up watching wrestling.
I wasn't great at a lot of stuff, but I was good at not worrying about being a wrestler.
I started wrestling at ten. I played a lot of other sports: soccer, football. I really enjoyed skiing. But wrestling just took off for me. It seemed to be the sport I had an affinity for; I liked the individual, combative nature. There's something special about that. It took me all the places I wanted to go.
My freshman year of high school, I started wrestling, and I ended up loving it more than anything I'd ever done.
As soon as I found out there was a school you could go to to become a WWE superstar, I was immediately hooked.
When I was a kid, I wrestled my high school amateur wrestling in junior year.
