I could have been Mr. America if I wanted to be, but I chose wrestling. I could have played pro-football, but I chose wrestling.

I was drafted by the New Orleans Saints and was tired of dealing with injuries. I just got tired of playing football, if you want to know the truth, and I was sitting on the floor at my father in-law's house and started to watch pro wrestling. I've watched it for a little bit before, so I thought to myself, 'You know what? I can do that!'

You have to realize in this life and in your life that timing is everything.
