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.

I grew up in a town with a great wrestling tradition. Then I was a team sport queen in high school; I played softball, volleyball, and soccer. Oh, and I also did ski racing.

I became a wrestling fan in college. So, I was more of a wrestling fan as an adult than when I was a little kid.

I grew up in North Carolina, and I grew up on wrestling.

When I was a kid, I wrestled my high school amateur wrestling in junior year.

I'm the man that made wrestling famous.

My uncle inspired me, and it was because of him that I become a wrestler, but besides him, the one Superstar that really caught my attention growing up as a kid was 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.

I just started watching wrestling in 2008, and I've loved it ever since. I told my mom I wanted to become a wrestler.
