So that's the world of pro wrestling is you know and we're well aware of who's going to win that night and who's not.
That's why I'm always careful to say, not to say how many people I actually beat because I didn't, you know, and they allowed it to happen.
So everybody supports everybody.
But yes, I did know that.
So now when I get the call from WWE and says, hey, after your injury, when you heal up at the end of the summer, we're going to bring you back as a heel.
And then that night I got on the microphone and I said, Rocky, my via is a lot of things.
Because they were chanting Rocky Sucks, which was a lot of fun in that world when you have 20,000 people.
Well, here's the thing.
In that world, when you're a good guy and they're chanting Rocky Sucks, that's a death sentence.
Now, when you're a bad guy and you say, hey, I may be a lot of things, but sucks isn't one of them.
Then I said something that really lit the crowd and they just booed even more.
But it was different back then because then I became a heel that night.
And within three months, I became the hottest heel in the company.
And the Ascension happened pretty quick.
But you know what, Terry?
That moment was so defining for me because it really allowed me to step into my power.
And what I mean by that is just being real and authentic.
