I mean, Sting is one of my great buddies and I love him to death.

Sting's my ideal man, because he's a real man.

I'm sure Sting's a lovely guy. It's just that nobody wants to be seen as that holier-than-thou thing. That over-earnestness is a bit of a problem with people in bands and celebrities or whatever.

You just remember back when you were watching as a kid and going, 'Man, Sting's so cool,' and now I'm wrestling the guy. It's breathtaking.

Hey, Ryan, if Sting retires, will he change his name to Stung?

Sting was one of my first and biggest influences. One night in North Carolina, when I reached out and touched his shoulder, he had the face paint on, and I didn't know why, but I loved it. I wanted to be just like him, and I was only 11 years old.

He was definitely a father figure for all of us. Once you were a Giant, you were always a Giant.

I don't know how consciously anyone looks for a father figure.

Being a father makes everything in the world make sense.

My dad's not a very intimidating father figure.
