It might surprise people to know that the person who convinced me to write the third memoir - 'The Hardcore Diaries' - was actually Vince McMahon.

You have to believe in yourself. But you know what? There's a fine line between believing in yourself and being delusional. And I'm sure there were a lot of people who thought I was being delusional when they saw me attempting to become a big shot in the world of pro wrestling. Luckily, it worked out: it doesn't work out for that many people.

I tell people the most important move they can make is not in the ring. It's taking the time to get to know Mr. McMahon.

A lot of my loyalty is to the wrestlers - the guys who put their heart and health on the line.

There are guys who thrive completely on the action in the ring and see the promotion as a necessary evil, whereas I think it's so much easier to tell people what a tough guy you are, as opposed to backing it up.

Mother Nature and Father Time have not been happy with me.
