“There’s times where I’m sleeping in my car. I’m bouncing in all of these clubs, and busting heads, and doing all this stuff, just to scrape up enough money to go to wrestling school, and go to these shows where you lose money. That gave me an edge, though, because I had to struggle. I had a real, real struggle to get my foot in the door, because I wasn’t a legacy.
…Obviously we don’t need that kind of struggle, but there is something that I think is missing with the edge of when people do get up here. A grit. Grit is a good [word for it]. I don’t know how you create that. Maybe you don’t need to now in this day and age. But to me, a lot of times you can see it in the product, right? Just the little bit of struggle that you have to go through, it translates to what you do.”
