Start strong, finish strong.

Wolf is always scratching.

Let's roll.

Up at 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 a.m.

Heading to work.

Ready to get after it.

Ready to shoot.

There's no substitute for hard work.

I'm going to make something out of myself, but it's going to be so good it's bad.

Instead of telling you what I think you should be doing or how you could be better, 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 worked 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 and 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 to 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 happened then when I moved to Nashville.

I was 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 holy the stuff I have around me right now.

This is the that I dreamed of when I was a kid.

I am here.

I played for University of Miami.

Played great teams.

Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, they were my teammates.

They were ballin'.

Warren Sapp was playing tight end that time.

I was starting defensive tackle.

Yeah.

They moved him over to D-line.

And he looked at me, he's like, yo, dude, I'm going to take your spot.

And I said, you ain't taking my spot.

He said, I'm going to take your spot.

I said, no, you ain't.

We battled, and he took my spot.

You can imagine how that with me, because there goes my opportunity.

He went in, switched to defensive tackle, lit the world on fire.

Well, what that did, it crushed me, and it 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 s**t home 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 4 o'clock in the morning, picked me up in Miami from Tampa.

We lived in a little apartment in Tampa.

He drove down in his little pickup truck to Miami to get me when I was cut from the CFL.

And I thought, well, 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.

Now I gotta move back in with my mom and dad.

I played on great teams though.

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 buying 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 five, a one, and change.

Well, at least I rounded up to seven bucks.

But I thought, God, ain't this a bitch?

I got seven bucks in my pocket.

Where the do I go now?

What do I do?

I can't go back to CFL.

The point comes where you hear that voice, the big run's over.

I'm like, you're done.

Right, so I heard that voice.

So as Coach was saying, man, I hold onto that.

I'm telling you, I keep, my back is up against this mother.

We laugh, we joke, we have a good time, but my back is still up against this mother.

Do not forget it.

What this also helps me do, and again, it works for me, is at some point, you gotta be tired of not being number one.

You have to be, and you gotta 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 some, and you're always gonna have haters, and haters are like, well, god damn, man, How many movies are you going to make or how much shit are you going to do?

Like, you do a lot of shit.

I say, yes.

It's 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 started to play angry, by the way.

And I still play angry.

100

My last match, Brock Lesnar, transitioned.

101

And I realized if I had to be great at something, I wanted to be great in this world of Hollywood and movie making and producing and entertainment, I had to commit.

102

And like, you guys have to commit.

103

Obviously, you commit to something, commit to the goal. So I quietly retired.

104

Two years later, I thought, what did I do with my career?

105

Because my movies were not doing well.

106

I was written off.

107

I was like, it was around 2006, 2007.

108

I was like, I left.

109

I pulled a Jim Brown.

110

I left when I was on top.

111

Like, number one in the wrestling business.

112

And I left.

113

It was a ballsy, gutsy, some call it stupid move But I had to commit and I had to follow it was in my gut

114

What helps me is to keep the hard times in the front of my mind

115

Because it allows me to go into these big moments

116

that I've worked my ass off

117

and you guys have worked your ass off It allows me to go into these big moments with a different perspective

118

What it also does for me and again this just this is what works for me like

119

My back is up against this mother

120

Every day It's against this wall

121

But it's up against this mother because it's what I believe in and when my back is against this month

122

Then there's nowhere to go

123

But that way That's it Doesn't mean you don't smile doesn't mean a laughing joke quote right happy.

124

I'm happy.

125

I'm a happy guy But when it comes to business and when it comes to executing, it's up against this.

126

And I got to go that way.

127

And I don't give a who is in front of me.

128

They're not going to stop me.

129

The key for me was, where does it start?

130

What's the anchor?

131

What's the anchor?

132

So I could have all these ambitions and you guys have all these ambitions, which is great.

133

It's important.

134

I'll play this role.

135

play that role.

136

I'll execute this thing and it'll come out this summer.

137

You guys will execute this thing during the summer, right?

138

When it's time to really put in a lot more work.

139

But the key with me is just always finding what the anchor is.

140

And the anchor is getting up at four o'clock in the morning every day before anybody else

141

and grounding my thought process is in the no one will outwork me.

142

No one.

143

I love and I respect you guys.

144

Motherf***er will not work me.

145

It all starts with this.

146

Two hands.

147

Putting it to work.

148

My last match in WWE, I'll share this with you guys too, is that, again, because there's a little bit of takeaway here from all this sh**, is I wrestled John Cena.

149

And I went in, I think it was 2013, I went in WWE Champion, And we went and met Life Stadium.

150

We had a record breaking attendance which was amazing that night.

151

We accomplished our goal.

152

So I wrestled with John Cena.

153

We had 45 minutes planned for the match.

154

It's non-stop, go.

155

Right?

156

So your conditioning is tested.

157

And at that time, I wasn't full time in WWE.

158

I was just doing these spot matches where I was still shooting G.I.

159

Joe, I think, or Pain and Gain at that time.

160

Oh no, it was Fast and Furious 6 in London.

161

Had to travel in the ring, get all my ring work in, travel back to shoot Fast and Furious, then back, WWE Raw, doing those shows.

162

The big build up to WrestleMania against John.

163

We get to MetLife Stadium, it's a big night, this is it.

164

It's game night, right?

165

It's championship night for me.

166

45 minute match planned out.

167

There's no cut, there's no, alright, let's pick it back up tomorrow.

168

You know, it's go time, it's just like you guys in a game.

169

I'm getting scared because I'm thinking, man, well what happens if I pinch something or something like, Like, you know, I don't know, your mind starts with you in the moment.

170

There's 85,000 people, your adrenaline's rushing.

171

I'm thinking, man, what happens if I'm going to lose my leg or some like this, if I've just done something to my artery?

172

Final move of the match is his big finishing move.

173

And I remember I'm getting up and I'm turning like this because I have to fall into him.

174

He's going to hit me with his big finisher.

175

I remember turning into John and he says, and I remember thinking to myself, God, please don't let this be too bad.

176

Just take care of me.

177

Take care of me.

178

Bang!

179

Comes in the back, I get to the back, I can't move.

180

Now I'm getting a little nervous.

181

Get on a jet, rushed home to my doctors down in Florida. And get an MRI.

182

Find out that I have completely torn my adductor, the top of my, my adductor and my top of my quad off my pelvis.

183

What I was proud of was to walk out on my own.

184

I got on my own, but not only that, but in this moment where the odds are against you, people are watching, your team's depending on you, you either say I'm done,

185

or this sh**, whatever the f**k is going on,

186

it's temporary, and it may f**k me up at some point down the road.

187

But I'm not going to let this opportunity go by without giving it my all.

188

As you guys know, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

189

You're gonna go on, you're gonna become world champions.

190

The key for me, what I think one of the keys is, remember where you came from, keep that shit in the front of your mind, and when shit goes bad and it goes sideways,

191

a lot of shit does, you're getting booed out of the building, or you're coming through this injury, or people are writing you off.

192

You guys ain't gonna make it, you know, any of that.

193

You gotta keep it in here.

194

And it really has to, it should drive you, it should.

195

It works for me.

196

It should drive you.

197

You get all the talent in the world.

198

It's all here.

199

Really the two things I want to say are you gotta be the hardest workers in the room

200

and don't the opportunity up.

201

you
