On if he would have been up for a WWE match: “It was never put in front of me but I would’ve done it. Why not? Knock out Stone Cold Steve Austin? That would’ve been fun.”
On being a big fan of pro wrestling: “I’m a huge fan of any combat sport. Yeah, anything combat, I’m all for it. It’s in my blood… I respect every athlete [that] steps in whether it’s an octagon or a squared circle.”
