The kids can see that hard work is paying off. They didn't care what people in other towns thought. They believed in the 12 guys in the locker room.
years mad guy
I remember in 1990, there were five of us making $3 million a year. When guys passed us, we didn't cry. Why would we cry? You didn't get mad when someone got $6 million. Or $8 million.

In a way it was heartbreaking, but I talked to my Dad (Steve) and he talked me through it. I left it all on the mat. I did my best. He just wrestled a better match tonight. Now I will do the best I can to go out with a win.
