Your two books — Damn! Why Did I Write This Book? and Damn! Why Did I Write This Book Too? — could be described as the WWE Survival Manual, Parts 1 and 2. Do you wish someone had published books like these a decade ago, so you could have studied them and properly prepared yourself for life in WWE?

“Definitely. I wish somebody had written something like this when I started, because it’s exactly what I needed. I definitely would have read and learned from the book and applied it.

“When I got into WWE, I didn’t know that there was a game being played. If you don’t know what The Game is, I wrote a lot about it in my [second] book, which is subtitled: How To Play The Game. The Game is a bunch of strategic power moves that talent use to further themselves and their career outside the ring.

“I believe 60 percent of your success in WWE is based on how well you play The Game. [WWE] was a learning experience, and I’m passing down what I learned to aspiring wrestlers, so they can learn from my mistakes.”
