WWE not fulfilling his deal
"I won the contract, people talk about different amounts, I got [a] quarter million my first year. They gave me a crappy deal at the end of the first year. I looked at the situation about how they were treating me when I was busting my butt. If they are just going to offer not what the agreement was than I'm not going to stick around and be a part of it."
Winning Tough Enough:
"I was on the SmackDown show. Miz was getting 75,000 unique hits on his website everyday and I was only getting like 50 or 60,000. I was like, 'I'm done, he won.' So I went out there and they were like, "You won," and I just went nuts. It was crazy."
Bill Demott:
"One time he bent my finger backwards when I didn't do a move right. DeMott held my finger back one day and I looked at him and I smiled and I said, 'are you going to break it or are you gonna show me how to do the move?' He never did it again and respected me for who I was. Very blessed to have him in my life. He's a hard ass and I got good because of it."
Kurt Angle:
"I kicked his butt back a little bit, and I showed him. I really pushed him he didn’t expect it coming like that and I just had a lot of fun with it."
