Got in the biz in 1988, first match was in 1991. Never did backyard or trampoline s–t. Paid dues that I'd never wish on today's youngsters.

I've EARNED my opinion. And keep in mind most of the "bad" opinions are said in jest or in a roasting manner. That's my personality.

People that actually know me know that. That's actually how the whole "Hurri-PopUp" gimmick came about.

And there will never come a day I give a ring rats ass about offending someone I don't even know with a joke that wasn't intended for them.
