As soon as I found out there was a school you could go to to become a WWE superstar, I was immediately hooked.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just started watching wrestling in 2008, and I've loved it ever since. I told my mom I wanted to become a wrestler.
At one time, I wanted to be a WWE wrestler. I still do. I want to go in the ring once and mess around and jump off the ropes and do a Stone Cold stunt.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be either a rock star or a wrestler.
I was an amateur wrestler, which I loved. It was my passion, but I started really late; I was a junior in high school when I began.
Ever since I was a child I always wanted to be WWE Champion. I've been in love with sports-entertainment for my entire life, and I always wanted to do that.
I love wrestling, and I think there was something in me that needed to come out, and I was very fortunate to allow it to come out in the WWE and make a living doing that, and I enjoyed every second of that.
Believe it or not, I kind of went into professional wrestling so I could get an avenue into acting.
I grew up a wrestler; for a long time in Oklahoma I was a wrestler.
You go from Olympic wrestling into pro wrestling, and it's a very difficult transition, but if you make it, you can earn a great living while at the same time giving amateur wrestling a lot of exposure by being on TV every week. Fans know where you came from.
After watching wrestling for 20 years, I thought I had enough confidence to do it. There were no wrestling schools at the time.
