On his reputation for being the sport's most legitimate tough guy: "I came up in the days when you had to be tough to protect yourself as a wrestler, especially outside the ring. For the bad-guy wrestlers mainly, it was really tough for us to walk into a bar or other places, because challenges would be made against us. People would call the business fake, and it was my duty to defend the business -- that's how I put bread on the table. I had a lot of fights because I take great pride in being a wrestler and in defending my friends. But I'm not tough. I believe all wrestlers are tough -- in different ways. They all believe in protecting the business and protecting themselves." Hide
