I screwed around in Europe for a year.
I came back to New York.
And a friend of mine at the time was this guy by the name of Michael Mendelson.
And he was working for this company.
I used to wake up at five in the morning, just watch TV.
And I used to watch The Crusher and The Bruiser and the regional wrestling and TV shows and never knew how it was made, but watched everything.
So I said, what are you doing?
And he said to me, oh, I'm working at William Morris.

I'm from Chicago.
My father's a doctor.
He's an immigrant.
William Morris, what the fuck's William Morris?
So he tells me.
And for whatever reason, bang, the light went out.
