I always took a lot of pride in being a safe wrestle. I never injured anyone.
I was a high school wrestler. I was city champion.
I was champion, off and on, for quite a few years, and I never missed one title match from an injury. I got hurt lots of times, but the reality is you've got so much pinned on you and so much tied onto you, the company and your peers can't afford for you to get hurt.
I do remember meeting 'The Donald.' He seemed to really enjoy the WrestleMania 4 battle royal. He watched me take a very hard front turnbuckle bump, and it seemed to stun him that I wasn't seriously hurt. Backstage, Trump gave me a big smile and a handshake.
I've taken fights on short notice while injured to help save shows, and in return I've been taken care of.
As a player you have to look after your body because no one else will. I'd rather be proactive than kowtow to everyone and be injured all the time.
You never know when you are going to be injured.
Most of the players can get injured, small ones and big ones. But when you get the small ones, you have to fight against them and play, play, play.
To be honest, I don't know if I'd go into another fight injured again.
My heart was always dedicated to giving fans around the world the best match possible, and the fans grew with me.
