You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Hell in a Cell: “My weakness, my ultimate match weakness is Hell in the Cell. I’ve lost every single cell match, I’ve fallen off the Cell. It was the worst bump of my entire career and I fell off 10 feet off the side.”
On the bump: I was halfway up, but you know I’m 6′ 7″ with my wrestling boots on, so I’m looking back as before I fell an additional 7 foot nearly. So falling 17 foot through a table, and you got a table can break your fall. I’m not going to suggest this for anybody, but you know gravity is a hell of a thing, and you weigh 280 [pounds], you pick up speed and it was the worst thing my career.”
On getting hurt taking the bump: “I bit through my tongue right through the middle. I looked like a snake or something, and yeah I got this crazy whiplash.”
