At the time, specifically when I remained in that competitive frame of mind of remaining in the dressing space and sensation like the authors are simply, you understand, fu ** ing with me. When you’re ideal in there, you got through all this things. For me, completely various frame of mind that I have now with this delighted time in my life.”

Due to the fact that he didn’t like the fans shouting EC Dub, I believed he may have even brought ECW back simply to damage it. He took credit for it, so he trained them to shout EC Dub throughout the programs by putting out the ECW DVD. I was like, Wow, guy, this man’s insane.”

I suggest, certainly, there’s an exaggeration to it, specifically to my ego and additional cruelty. I didn’t discover to do a spin and a partner kick from mimicing other wrestlers that did it. You understand, I was a kickboxer and I gained from kickboxing and martial arts trainers and I brought those relocations into wrestling since that belonged to me. That was what I provided for enjoyable when I’m displaying at some foolish celebration in high school, you understand, backflips, adding a tree and doing a backflip, due to the fact that I saw it on Chopsocky theater.”
