I was obsessed with it, and then I learned more about professional wrestling and how the beauty that does exist in it is truly an art form.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
First of all, I was a wrestling fan when I was young. Even when I figured out what wrestling was, I was still a fan.
I've always loved the showmanship of professional wrestling. While I love making movies, I love that platform, too.
When I first got into wrestling as a kid, I would read all of the wrestling magazines I could get my hands on. There was a satisfaction discovering that there was a whole wrestling world that existed that you didn't see on TV on Saturday morning. There was this idea that there was this stuff going on there that they didn't want us to see.
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.
I wasn't a wrestling fan growing up; I knew who Hulk Hogan was and stuff but I didn't watch it. I started watching wrestling about three years before I got involved with WCW.
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.
I grew up watching wrestling.
I just started watching wrestling in 2008, and I've loved it ever since. I told my mom I wanted to become a wrestler.
To me, wrestling is just as cool as it ever was.
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.
