Wrestling is a hard sport, but it's only a sport.

You can't wrestle forever. It's a very physically taxing job. There's no doubt about it. Physically, and more importantly, mentally.

To me, wrestling is therapy. No matter how bad my personal situation is, when I step into the ring, all my troubles disappear. My baggage stays in the back where it belongs.

In high school and college all my friends and my brother wrestled.

Everything's relative. I don't think any new pursuit will be as difficult as trying to break into wrestling 25 years ago.

When I wrestled in College, my team was very good.

Since the day I was born, wrestling has sustained me and my family. It's the way my father fed me; it's the way I feed my kids. More importantly, wrestling is my greatest release. It's been such a blessing for me. I can step into the ring and let it all go - all my anger, all my frustration, all my pain.

Wrestling is the ultimate martial art.
