“My foray into the wrestling world is well documented in that I have stated many a time that I am not the kid that grows up and aspires to put wrestling trunks and wrestling boots on and get in the ring and flies around to entertain people.”

What kind of moron would go to work for half the amount of money, when they could sit at home and collect what’s written in a contract?

I think it’s widely known at this stage that I am willing to put past differences aside and make some money and do the right thing for the fans. If it happens, it happens. It’s all good. If it doesn’t, I truly am not going to miss a beat of my life.

I think if Donald Trump won, I would move to Canada.

The cutthroat part of it is that professional wrestling has no union. There are a number of people that are taken advantage of on a daily basis.

I believe that it was a testament to the change of power from the company to the fans because the more the fans ate it up, the more the company gave them what they want.

I am always a competitor and my wife and son have never seen me wrestle.

At the end of the day you go out and do your job and follow your directions.

Adam [Sandler] is a good basketball player, so he is a natural athlete, he worked with Sean Salisbury to make his footwork and delivery smooth, and he did a great job.

Georgia Dome was a pretty big eye opener that I had something kind of going in the right direction. It seemed like a movement, and I was greatly appreciative for the chants and the signs.

I’ve known Mark Hunt for a long time, and I’ve known Brock [Lesnar] for a while. I think that it’s a very interesting match-up. I think it’s good on the UFC for making that match-up.

I had never imagined myself doing [wrestling]. Once I came to the realization that it was a possibility, I just tried to concentrate on what I thought people would enjoy.

I am busy right now with my family, let alone all my other projects. It’s an opportunity if it presents itself.

Like most of the movies I have participated in before, it’s not a far departure from my actual self. TJ is a Special Forces, hand-to-hand combat expert.

Sometimes my natural instincts take over and I just go overboard.

You wrestle one night, get up the next morning and fly out to the next city.

I really don’t have a favorite team.
