“I named them, and I’ll probably tell you that another time or two just to be clear,” Anderson said. “The goal and this group of guys – there was a decision and Vince had us all in there when he listened to us. This was back at a time prior to Randy, Batista, or Cena getting their push.

“He had all this new talent he’d brought in, and he said, ‘Guys, who are gonna be our stars of tomorrow? Who do you guys think so far that have it?’ And it was Cena, Randy, and Dave. That’s what everyone pretty much agreed on.

“Cena was gonna be split off by himself, and I think the company saw an opportunity to take Dave and Randy, who needed to have a more seasoned talent guiding them which could be Hunter and Ric, and they saw an opportunity because those guys looked like a trillion dollars together when they came through the curtain all dressed to the nines.

“It was just a good combination of old and new, and you had a chance to get a couple of new guys over really quickly. I thought that concept worked, and I thought those guys worked really well together.”

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
