I was supposed to run downwardly the aisle and climb over the tubed muzzle. I simply ran to jump and I remember Doug Dillinger and a couple other guys holding me down.

I had a lifestyle on the road that wasn't pleasing to my wife. It wasn't pleasing to God either. I knew there wasn't a large pay per view, a big pay check, or a big contract, or a psychologist, or any kind of ability that was going to be able to fix it.
