“ Before I got into the world of entertainment and Hollywood, and before I even got to the big bright lights of WWE, I was wrestling in flea markets and wrestling in carnivals and I was wrestling in used car dealerships for $40 bucks a match throughout Tennessee,” he said reflecting upon how wrestling helped him and was the necessity in those tough times.

He further said, “When you start your career like that – struggling, hustling, scratching, clawing for $40 bucks a match – you come into any venture with a greater appreciation, but also I think a greater willingness to rip yourself open, rip the face off of something and really go for it.”. This talks a lot about The Brahma Bull’s mentality. This reflects his strong, never-give-up attitude which his fans loved him for. He also clarified that the risks taken should be calculated. According to him, calculated and moderated risks along with bankable partners are his key to success.
