“I took a little bit of what I liked and what I had seen throughout the years from everybody that I was entertained by and made it my own.”

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.

Pardon me, not to sound elitist, but I wanted to put something together that I would enjoy. I thought at that time, what satiated me, what interested me, what intrigued me.

I shaved a lot off of a lot that I saw in that I like to be less is more and make everything count and not give anyone anything extra. I was what you see is what you got. It was organic. I came up with the persona. The persona is me, coupled together with a lot of my interests.

At this time, the only thing that would get me back in the ring is something that would positively impact those in need. If selling out another major event would allow me to bring a ship full of supplies to hand out to those in need, I’d say that would be very significant.

I was the kid that wanted to be anonymous in that I’d put a football helmet on and be a member of a team and go out there and maim people. It was a very hard process. It truly was.

As far as the path of [Bill] Goldberg and all his ultimate success, I don’t think any of that was planned. It was all organic. All of it was so different.

At the end of the day, when you are in the front office, your tenure is dictated by the people surrounding you.
