I'm one of those guys who, when I'm frustrated, do not get vocal.

I went to a wrestling school in Canada. That did not work out well, I think I was out there for like a week.
I mean I had accomplished a goal I had set at 10 years old, I told my mom at that time that I was going to be a wrestler one day, and I was going to be champion, everyone looked at me like I was crazy.
I think the climate of wrestling has changed. I think the big guy, The Giant, The Big John Studd's of the world are an endangered species because the business has become smaller.
We need walls around our schools, we need to protect our schools. Ten-foot rule. You can't get within ten feet unless you're supposed to be there.
Well, I wanted to play football and I chased football for a little while.
A big thing to me was to be able to be in a situation where I could speak my mind freely especially when it came to my character. Get the actual right feedback and not have too many chefs in the kitchen and allow me to be me.
If you look at the history of wrestling, what makes heels great is their ridiculous statements.
I used to work for a spot called the 'Saddle Ranch.'
Big Show has a lot of monster tendencies.
Probably the biggest thing for me was my Wrestlemania match getting cut; I don't think I ever really mentally recovered from that.
The biggest thing about Snoop is, you gotta understand, everybody wants a piece of him. They want to touch him. They want to talk to him.
There's always a Cena fan that wants to talk to me about it, and it drives me absolutely nuts. They'll come up to me in Cena stuff saying 'Why didn't you wrestle Cena?' Bro, I don't know.
The Funkasaurus character was great and it taught me about being humble, about the character, about not being concerned with what people think you should be.
I never imagined as a kid that anybody could beat up ‘Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff because Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan convinced me he was the toughest guy, that Andre The Giant was bigger than life, that Hulk Hogan was amazing and dug down deep.
I actually came up with Funkasaurus.
I'm always teasing and clowning around and laughing and in the locker room I tend to always have something to say.
The American Dream Dusty Rhodes, rest his soul, he was hard as hell on me. He was tougher on me than anybody.
Fans are very aggressive when it comes to Snoop. They just want a piece of him so much. I would probably say more so than any other celebrity because he's so tangible.
Yeah, no desire to live in New York. Giant buildings and it's cold and I'm a big Patriot, Red Sox's fan. What can I possibly do for fun in New York?
If you're good at what you do regardless of what is thrown in front of you, you will make it work.
If you're not shooting for the top, then what are you doing?
