“I remember Undertaker was out there stretching and he was like, ‘You did real good, real good in there. I was like, ‘That?’ He was like, ‘You didn’t sell it, you held your ground. That was real good.’
I was like, ‘Come on, I’ve had coaches in middle school that were harder than that piece of s***. Come on, that’s nothing. Thank you.”
