I've always loved the showmanship of professional wrestling. While I love making movies, I love that platform, too.
A guy like AJ Styles is obviously a great talent and he's going to go out there and put on a performance that's befitting of a man who is the World Champion.
Seeing myself as a champion in WWE is something I've seen from the first day I stepped into the Universe and the realm of the company.
CM Punk was a great wrestler, and he has so many fans and made a lot of people happy with what he did over the years.
WWE is a space where I thrived, and I loved, and I still do. I love connecting with an audience; that is the greatest thing about going back to WWE.
Professional wrestling, the WWE, and being in the Hall of Fame represent such a large part of Hulk's life, as does his connection to the audience.
When I first came into the WWE I enjoyed working with Candice Michelle, a girl who was a model and seemed to live a carefree life and worked really hard to become a WWE Diva.
Those who have not seen wrestling before have probably tuned in to 'Lucha Underground' and go, 'Whoa! This is a TV series turned into wrestling.'
I think the reality of the situation is if you're WWE and you're looking for talent, you're going to want the best guys out there, and you're gonna look at Ring Of Honor, because that's where the best talent is.
I have nothing but positive things to say for anyone who wants to come to the WWE because it is not an easy place to get into and not an easy place to get through, so if you feel like you can make it here and get through, I say welcome.
Whatcha gonna do, when Hulkamania runs wild on you!
I remember when I was younger and seeing guys like The Rock cut these promos telling the world how terrible they are. How they are a bunch of losers and stuff like that. He was so funny when he did it that you couldn't wait 'til he came out and started insulting you.
WWE dropped the ball with 'Tough Enough.'
That feeling is one of the things that keep me going. On July 6, 1998, I became the WCW heavyweight champion of the world!
As far as memories go, I was around for the very first WrestleMania. I was a young kid upstairs at my uncle's restaurant in a change room or staff room watching it, I think, illegally, on a black and white television.
I have a lot of respect for the folks over at WWE, and I have a ton of respect for what they've accomplished within the industry.
When I went to WCW, I was never supposed to go in there as Terra Ryzing.
My WWE career has been amazing. It took a lot of time for me to get here, and you never stop paying your dues.
You look at John Cena - whether you love him or you hate him, he always gets a reaction. Roman Reigns has that same aura, that same ability.
At one time, I wanted to be a WWE wrestler. I still do. I want to go in the ring once and mess around and jump off the ropes and do a Stone Cold stunt.
WWE didn't want RVD to get over when I was there. They tried so much to... to... not get me... to... to... keep me from that. They didn't understand why the fans liked me, because I don't fit the cookie cutter formula, because I am a non-conformist.
I'll never forget the reaction the WWE Universe gave me at 'WrestleMania 33' and my return - it was truly one of the greatest moments of my career.
I was always a fan of wrestling, right from the time I was nine or so. But eventually I decided I wanted to do professional wrestling myself, not just watch.
I have dreamed of being a champion in WWE, and there's nothing I won't do, no length I won't go to, in order to keep it that way.
Pro wrestling fans love what they watch, and they go out to enjoy and have fun.
