My diet is probably better than just about anybody's.
— Sean Waltman
Talking, being a better talker, wouldn't have been that hard. It was just, I was just naturally gifted at other things.
I just think guys should be mindful, 'Okay, this guy is a hundred pounds lighter than me. Maybe I shouldn't hit him full on,' even if it's in a safe spot.
For me, I had that reputation as being a guy that did a lot of stuff early on in my career, but to me, at the time I needed to do that in order to be noticed. Eventually, my style evolved and started making it to where every match wasn't about a dive outside of the ring.
Here's the thing: I consider myself pretty well - for somebody that didn't go to high school, pretty well educated.
I've always been a big fan of Jim Neidhart.
I was a buzzsaw out there, high impact, high energy, I was quick.
When I was in WCW, I was definitely like... kind of cutthroat, a little bit.
When you're not working with guys your own size and everyone is way bigger than you, guys aren't afraid to run right through you - and not even hit you in dangerous places, but just the collision alone - and sometimes it would ring your bell.
We just get comfortable in our routines, and that's how it worked before, but now you can see wrestling from around the world and all the promotions, and everyone has something online you could see. And many years ago, you could do these routines, and they weren't routines to the fans because they didn't see them as much.
The Hart Foundation versus The Brain Busters, if you can find that match, it is fantastic.
A lot of the best villains are the ones that think they are right. That think they are the good guy.
It was just, I was always contrarian. I was always, you know, 'We want to do this with you,' 'No, I want to do that.' In so many things, I wanted to do things my way.
The wrestling world lost Pedro Morales... I knew Pedro from all the years that I worked with WWE. From the time I first started there, he was always such a nice guy, very classy, and even later on, you could totally understand why someone would trust putting a world championship on a guy like that. And Pedro was ready for all types of action.
Not every time someone gets hit these days with a kick, they don't necessarily take a flat-back. Maybe less flat-backs add time to a career, but if they miss some of it, it just seems like you're done.
Actually, the only thing that I can honestly say I really regret now is the blackface thing. I did not understand.
The character of Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart added so much. He was solid in the ring too, really good. His role in the Hart Foundation - he was great. He was a really good, solid power guy that could move in there, too.
