My dad? He worked at a steel plant over in Charleston. Night shift. Nine at night to nine in the morning, no joke.

My goal when I got drafted was to always stay in one place the whole time. No matter what the situation was.
That's the ultimate goal is to win the championship.
I get comfortable out at practice.
You go through all the training camps, all the blood and sweat and tears. I think you play for the guys in the locker room. We don't play for anybody else.
When the fans were watching my dad, you could never tell if this was real or is this fake, and that's what made him so special. Every ounce of energy went to being The Nature Boy.
I have my dad's shape. No booty.
He loves the game. He gave it everything he had. What I really admire, though, is he said to me, 'Dad, I just couldn't keep doing it.' That cycle of injury, rehab, injury, rehab just got too much. He didn't want to stick around and begin to resent the game. He wanted to leave the game and still love the game. That's pretty impressive.
The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one, particularly if he plays golf.
My dad's paternal grandparents were musically inclined. And I remember as a little kid going to visit them in their senior building, and they were, like, the stars of the building, especially hosting and performing in their senior talent show.
