Quote
1
Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Mr. Wonderful, Paul Orndorff; that's the first match I ever saw. I thought it was the coolest thing. I told anybody who'd listen, 'That's what I want to do when I grow up.'

"I started wrestling in '96 at Danny Davis' little school in Jeffersonville. I got on Channel 3 (WAVE-TV) and thought I'd made the big time. Then, I started wrestling a little bit with the WCW when they were still around and I thought, 'Man, I'm on top of the world.' Then, I signed a developmental contract with the WWE in 1999. Now this. Pretty amazing." (On his path taken towards becoming 'Eugene' in WWE.)
