I'm a wrestler with nine toes. I'm a wrestler who has been through a lot of battles. I get to do a lot of motivational speaking, and people are blown away and say, 'You never quit. You keep coming back.'

There's no comparison to competition. You can't tell yourself truly where you're at unless you compete in competition.

That's why I kept wrestling - I'm too dumb to realize I can't win, so I keep wrestling until I ultimately succeed. I'm pretty dang stubborn.

Even when on 'The Biggest Loser', I was out doing back handsprings on the show, throwing dummies on the mat.

I don't have all this money people think Olympic athletes have.

I act young, I look old, and I'm crazy to be wrestling.
