start strong finish strong wolf is always scratching man that's roll up to 3:45 a.m. cardio by 4:45 a.m. hitting the iron by 6:15 a.m. in my pickup truck by 7:15 am heading to work ready to get after ready to shoot there's no substitute for hard work I'm going to make something out of myself and it's gonna be so good it's bad [Applause] [Music] instead of telling you what I think you should be doing or what how you could be better or I thought well let me just speak from the heart speak from my gut and really not have anything prepared but just tell you what's worked for me and maybe some of the stuff that's work for me might work for you now currently presently as you guys have your goals and ambitions but then further on down the line as you guys continue to live your life this idea in this notion that you could be anything you want you can accomplish anything you want right we hear that you've heard that from the time you were little boys you hear that now you're already incredibly accomplished you guys know that the thing that has worked for me is to remember the hard times so and I'm sure you guys all have your processes and again I'm going to tell you what we work for me so before a big movie comes out before back in the days when I was wrestling with WWE a WrestleMania match anything big that would happen I would always take a moment and I just remind myself all right I was evicted when I was 14 we were kicked off the island we couldn't live in Hawaii had no place to live a lot of stabbed him then when I moved to Nashville as arrested multiple times by the time I was 16 years old I would remember that and it allows me then to be present in the moment and understand wholly the stuff I have around me right now this is this that I dreamed of when I was a kid I am here I played for University of Miami played great teams Warren Sapp where Louis they were my teammates they were ballin Warren Sapp was playing tight in that time I was starting defensive tackle yeah they moved him over to D line and he looked at me he's like yo do I'm gonna take your spot and I said you ain't taking what's mine he's I'm gonna take your spot no yeah we battled and he took my spot they could imagine I left with me because there goes my opportunity he went in switch to defensive tackle lit the world on fire but what that did it questioned me too crushed my dreams I had a piss-poor senior year zero production no NFL no combine invite nothing finally went to the CFL Calgary Stampeders making $250 a week Canadian Canadian I had to send that poem to my to my wife at that time had no money so I remember that I got cut from Canada my dad in his pickup truck came down four o'clock in the morning pick me up at in whoo in Miami from Tampa we lived in a little apartment in Tampa he drove down in his little pickup truck to to Miami to get me when I was cut from the CFL and I thought wolf that I leave home like you guys left home I'm ready to tackle the world to get after it achieve my dreams and goals crushed by 22 23 years old I'm and I got to move back in with my mom and dad I played on great teams oh wait a second this is not supposed to be my future I'm supposed to be in the NFL right now I'm supposed to be making a lot of coin and behind my parents buying me taking care of my wife but it never happened so I pulled out my wallet I thought well let me see how much money I have I opened it up I had a 5 a 1 and change and well at least I rounded up to 7 bucks but I thought God ain't this a [ __ ] I got seven bucks in my pocket we're though do I go now what I do I can't go back to CFL the point comes where you hear that voice big runs over like yeah you're done right so I heard that voice so as coach was saying man I hold on to that telling you I keep my back up against his mother we laugh we joke we have a good time but my back is still up against his mother right do not forget it what this also helps me do and again it works for me is at some point you've got to be and tired of not being number one you have to be and you got to play angry and I play angry now I'm cool and calm with my approach and when I step out on my field which is a set or you know like there's something you're always gonna have haters and haters like we'll be a man how many movies you're gonna make her how much did are you gonna do like you do a lot of say yes cuz my ambition of course why not I could do it yeah I love what I do and not only that but in what world do we not work every day my back is up against this thing you know and I and I and I started to play angry by the way and I still I still play angry my last match Brock lesner transition and I realized if I had to be great at something I wanted to be great in this world of Hollywood and moviemaking and producing and entertainment I had to commit and like you guys have to commit obviously you commit to something commit to the goal so I quietly retired two years later I thought what did I do in my career because my movies were not doing well I was written off it was like it's around 2006 2007 I was like I left I pulled the Jim Brown I left when I was on top like number one in the wrestling business and I left it was a ballsy gutsy some call it stupid move but I had to commit and I had to follow was in my god what helps me is to keep the hard times in the front of my mind because it allows me to go into these big moments that I've worked my ass off and you guys have worked your Duff it allows me to go into these big moments with a different perspective what it also does for me and again this just this is what works for me like my back is up against this mother every day it's against that's football but it's up against this mother because it's what I believe in and when my back is against this mother then there's nowhere to go but that way that's it doesn't mean you don't smile there's me no laughing joke right you're happy I'm happy I'm a happy guy but when it comes to business and when it comes to executing it's up against this and I got to go that way and I'll give up who is in front of me they're not gonna stop me the key for me was where does it start what's the anchor what's the anchor so I could have all these ambitions and you guys have all these ambitions which is great it's important I'll play this role you'll play that role I'll execute this thing and it'll come out this summer you guys will execute this thing during the summer right what it's time to really put in a lot more work but the key with me is just always finding what the anchor is and the anchor is getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning every day before anybody else and grounding my thought process is in the no one will outwork me no one I love and I respect you guys mother won't my work I'll start with this two hands putting it'll work my last match in WWE I'll share this with you guys - is that again cuz there's a little bit of takeaway here from all this is I wrestled John Cena and I went in and I think it's 2013 I went in WWE Champion and we went in MetLife Stadium we we had a record-breaking attendance which was amazing that night we accomplished our goal so I wrestle with John Cena we had 45 minutes planned for the match it's nonstop and goes right so your conditioning is tested and at that time I wasn't full-time in WWE I was just doing these spot matches where I would I was still shooting GI Joe I think her pain and gain at that time or no it was um it was fast and furious 6 in London had to travel in the ring get on my ring work in travel back to shoot fast and furious then back WWE Raw doing those shows the big build-up to WrestleMania against John we get to MetLife Stadium it's a big night this is it's game night right it's it's championship night for me 45 minute matches planned out there's no cut there's no all right well let's pick back up tomorrow you know it's go time it's just like you guys in a game at the 15 minute mark bang I feel some pop on my boom laying there and both of us are out I said off something's going on and I stick my head that's eighty five thousand people right and we're just laid out like this I kind of rolled over I stick my hand down in my trunk just to see I want to make sure that there was no bone sticking out so if there's no bone sticking out what something just happened referee comes over and he's like rocky alright yeah yeah yeah they come alright I said I get up I go to step and I can't stop I can't do this I have to use my leg like momentum I got do that so now in that moment and you guys are gonna have these moments you probably already had them already where you're in the game and you're in the thick of things and you got to make a decision what I got to do I'm gonna stay in the game committed to the team I committed to my team the entire roster right so I could tell the wrestlers are you okay and I have one moment in this moment it was a defining moment I could either tell him no I'm done he gives the signal matches over or let's keep going we have this decision I said no let's keep going I say how much time is up he's like thirty two minutes okay rest of the whole match couldn't move doing everything like this I'm getting scared because I'm thinking man well what happens if I if I if I pinch something or something like you know I don't know your mind starts [ __ ] with you in the moment there's 85,000 people your Adrenaline's rushing thinking man what happens we're going to lose my leg or something like this if I've just done something to my artery final move of the match is his big finishing move and I remember I'm getting up and I'm turning like this because I have to fall into him he's gonna hit me with his big finisher I remember turning into John and he says and I remember thinking myself god please don't let this be too bad just take care of me take care of me bang I feel boom I don't know what does happen now lucky leave matches like he pins me when she comes in the back I get to the back I can't move now getting a little nervous get on the jet rushed home to my doctors down in Florida and in an MRI find out that I have completely torn my adductor the top of my my a doctor and my top of my quad off my pelvis what I was proud of was to walk out on my own but not only that but in this moment where the odds are against you people are watching teams depending on you you either say I'm done or this whatever the is going on it's temporary and it made me up at some point down the road but I'm not gonna let this opportunity go by without giving it my all as you guys know there's nothing you can't accomplish you're gonna go on you're gonna become world champions the key for me what I think one of the keys is remember where you came from keep that in the front of your mind and when it goes bad and it goes sideways a lot of does you're getting booed out of the building or coming through this injury or people are you writing you off are you guys you know any of that you got it you got to keep it in here the and it really has to it should drive you it should works for me it should drive you you get all the talent in the world it's all here really the two things I want to say are got to be the hardest workers in the room and don't the opportunity you [Music]
