Mojo Rawley

You're always reinventing yourself and looking for what's new and what you haven't done before.

The Full Sail crowd was one that I had a very special relationship with, when I first debuted they were right there with me and very supportive.

I need to get hit in the face. I need to get dropped hard before I can really circle the wagons and proceed. It breaks you out of being complacent, of being in your comfort zone.

I have a lot of shortcomings. I'm aware of that. I work on those things.

This is life right here. This is what happens. You get knocked down. You've got to step back up. How are you going to handle a loss? This is what Mojo Rawley is all about.

These losses, when they mount up it's hard to keep your cool.

If you're in the WWE, you're a superstar.

Ever since I was a little kid the only thing I've ever wanted to do was be in the WWE, and not just be on the roster but to be a champion.

Making an impact behind the scenes with 'Be-A-Star' and 'Make-A-Wish,' how cool is it to do those things?

I am not one of these guys that looks to the locker room and points fingers. That has never been my MO.

I watch a lot of tape. Anytime I have a match on TV, I watch it back, 10-20 times alone.

I don't make excuses.

You can't sign up for this kind of wrestling in school, so I went the football route first and I was successful at it.

When I am a good guy on TV, my character tends to be almost identical to how I am as a real person. However, as a bad guy, I get to be the opposite. I get to be a jerk. I get to talk trash, I get to say all the things that I'm thinking but have to restrain myself from saying out of respect or decency.

I take my training very seriously but I also take fun very seriously too.

I credit all of my life's successes to my ability to 'Stay Hyped.'

If you're an outsider, you don't know how to get signed by the WWE. It's not like football where you can sign up and segue your way in. You've got to know somebody.

I was in the business school. I was on the executive board of the business school and I kinda gave all that up and forewent a full scholarship to walk on at the University of Maryland. I just wanted to challenge myself, play at the top level and see if I could hang with the big boys, kinda get that national spotlight and play in prime time games.

When you take someone's best shot in the mouth, there's nothing more they can give you.

Sparring is probably the best cardio, but strength training is the best way to prevent the kind of injuries that come from roadwork and sparring.

If I'm going to be doing a Zumba class I'm going to be wearing Zubaz.

I'm a very humble guy.

You know, I analyze my faults and my weaknesses very carefully. I'm very hypercritical of myself.

I've always said just give me an opportunity and I'm going to make the most of it.

If no one else is going to hype you up, you have to do it yourself.
