You can choreograph the risk, but you have to do it time and time again.

And the schedule in WWE just changed.

To do 70 matches a year now in WWE is like, man, you're a workhorse.

We used to do 220, 230.

Trauma.

I get such a warm feeling when first-timers go into the ring for the first time.

It's like a bouncy floor, and then they fall down once, and the wind's knocked out of them.

They're like, my brain moved.

Yeah, yeah.

Now you've got to do that again and again.

But it's weird.

I've gotten to work with a lot of stand-ups, and WWE is kind of changing.

I would say it's on the progression of a stand-up making it to just like a stadium tour.

But, man, when I performed, my sweet spot –

we ran very parallel lives.

I've worked every city, Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom to Madison Square Garden, to the Saitama Super Arena, to AT&T Stadium, to Bangor, Maine, or to Valparaiso, Indiana.

You go to all of these places and it's like,

Friday, you're in one place.

Saturday, you're in another place.

Sunday, you're in another place.
