I grew up watching Super J-Cup tournaments and things like that, and those were pretty cool.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I played at the Sainte Maxime Beach Soccer Tournament, which was brilliant fun as usual.
I think probably one of the coolest things was when I went to play basketball at Rucker Park in Harlem. First of all, who would think that Larry the Cable Guy would go to Harlem to play basketball? And I was received like a rock star. It was amazing! There were people everywhere. There were guys walking by yelling, 'Git 'r done!'
To have a tournament right where you live is very cool.
There have been so many great tournaments that I've been privileged to see, and people paid me to go watch, that I'm awfully grateful for it.
I grew up doing a lot of extreme sports.
They were ridiculous times. After I won my world championship in 1976, I went to Japan.
My fondest memories were watching the Beastie Boys get prepped to come on stage. They had a lot of antics and they play a lot of basketball... then they were giving out cameras to the crowd, and performing from the bleachers. The most important thing I learned was that you control your crowd, not the other way around.
I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead, so it's always been something I look towards.
I grew up watching wrestling.
I've been very fortunate to be involved in all the Super Bowls, to see some World Series, to cover heavyweight championship fights; I've been to the Olympics and seen every sporting event there is.
