On wrestling Cesaro with a bad neck:
“There came a point where I got to wrestle Cesaro. Going into that, I didn’t look great, because again, I’ve got withered arms by then, and knew I had a bad neck, but I didn’t realize how bad it was. I’m the only wrestler in the world as far as I know who’s got four discs fused.”
On facing issues with his legs:
“I was taking photographs with people. As another person was coming up, my legs just went from under me. Luckily, there was a wall behind me and I just stopped myself, and I went, ‘Oh, that was weird.’ I just stood up again like nothing happened.
But, you know, looking back now there was plenty happening, and I was just ‘Well, yeah, it’s going to be like this’, although I could still do 300 Hindu Squats.
Sometimes I was dragging my legs and they were swelling up. I thought it’s just because I’m a wrestler, knowing also that I have a bad heart, but they’ve told me it’s okay.
Two weeks later, I was down in Florida. We got out of the car. My wife just before we went in, she just said something to me. She put her hand on the shoulder and I fell against the car. My legs completely went from under me and I just fell.
I thought when I get to NXT, I better mention something about that because that’s definitely not right. Of all the things I’ve gone through, that’s two times in two weeks.”
