“Hate’s a strong word. I’ve never hated you. I think that I was the kinda person that had a backstage gimmick, and I was trying to live my (gimmick) backstage.
I think I was just an insecure (person), you know what I mean? And then I was talking to Arn and like, [f**k] Punk. And you’re like, hey, motherf***ker I’m right here. Say it to my face. And I was like, man, I wasn’t expecting him to walk around the corner as I was burying him.”
