"I wrestled for eight years, the muscled, sinewy, sweaty bodies of other men. And at no time did I even have a tingle in my body," he says. "It's like, I'm going to pin your ass to the mat and get up and walk away." If you came out with an afro, you're somebody else at that point,. But this country allows that. It's just whatever people want to be in a free country, let them be that!"
