To me, wrestling is therapy. No matter how bad my personal situation is, when I step into the ring, all my troubles disappear.
In wrestling, you have to be real and authentic, or people will see right through you.
The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again, I'd make the same mistakes, only sooner.
Wrestling is not a sport. It is a way of life. It is a religion. It is an addiction. It is a cure.
Wrestling is the only sport I've ever competed in where you can't run out the clock. The whistle doesn't save you.
Wrestling is a fraternity, and the boys will work their butts off for you as long as you respect them and don't lie.
In wrestling, my body is a vessel for my emotions and my psyche. It's where I let all my aggression and frustrations out.
Wrestling is the only sport I've ever competed in that puts you totally in the moment, where you're completely focused on the task at hand.
