And I was able to, when I stepped into the WWE to be able to translate that

Well, I mean, I've said this a hundred times in interviews and I don't want people to take it the wrong way because there's, there's definitely the MMA is no, is no joke.

I mean, you get in there and you ain't ready.

You don't get hurt or maybe even seriously badly injured.

But for me, personally, because I was such a natural fighter, I grew up fighting from a young age.

Jumping in there, man, I just went and did it.

And I learned all along the way and became better and better and better.

I'm a world champion everywhere.

But in wrestling, man, there was so much more to it.

It was so much harder for me to be successful in pro wrestling than it was in MMA.

There's, I, you know, and I don't know why or what the reason, I never had the mentality to,

uh, walking into a pro wrestling, other than when I first started out, there was some beats that we had and, you know, some things that had happened.

But, you know, when I stepped into pro wrestling and WWE, I, I, I knew what it was.

And then I already had experience and understanding of what it was.

And then this was at a whole nother level.

And, um,

I understood what it was and at no point ever in my career there did my mind ever transition into thinking that, well, if this was real, it just never did because that's not what we were doing.

It had nothing to do with that.

It had to do with being able to have talents in so many different areas to be successful.

And that's what I focused on.
