“There’s this small portion of our kid’s lives where they actually want us there. Soon, and I see it with my friends and my sister and all that kind of stuff, all of a sudden Birdie, she’s 7 now, she’s going to turn into a teenager and she’s going to have other things. Now, she wants Daddy there all the time and I want to be there for that. And also, my body is broken down. The odds are I’m probably going to have neck surgery before the end of the year.”
“This pro wrestling thing, it’s been incredible and it’s hard to imagine my life without it for the past 25 years but it’s a lot easier to imagine my life going forward without me wrestling. It’s actually hard for me to imagine me keeping doing this, especially with the last year. I’ve had herniated discs in my back, tore the labrum in my shoulder, then I broke my arm which required a rod and 9 screws, then I had two fractures in my orbital bone, and now I just recently hurt my neck really bad and that was in April. So, it’s like all of these things. When I started at AEW, I was like, ‘I’m invincible’ and then it turns out maybe not so invincible.”
