It’s not that I don’t want to get involved in the wrestling business.”

“I’m grateful for all of that, but for me to get on a plane at this stage in my life and travel every week, or be in the rut that I know you have to be in to really be involved in this business in any meaningful way. , It’s not going to happen.»
