“And like I say, some of the things may have been fabricated in my own mind, to lobotomize me. But I felt as though I was still the enemy, walking in the locker room, everyone going ‘What the hell is this guy doing here?’ I’ve always felt like an outsider, but never as much as I did.”

It is just like how a new kid in school would feel — It always takes some time for people to settle down and get comfortable in a new place.

“I hated him in the beginning, and now I’d die for him. Let’s be perfectly honest.

He later admitted to growing over the years, as a person and a wrestler.
