Looking back, I'm surprised I had the nerve to do it, but I'm glad I did. Performing the songs and performing in film was just a part of my personality, just like football and boxing at one point in my life. I was able to lose myself in both of them, and that was a good feeling.
The cool thing about WWE is it's like entertainment boot camp. You're performing in front of a live audience, a different audience every night. You're doing promos in the ring. You're doing talking segments in the back. You're wrestling. You're performing. It's everything all rolled into one.

I guess I think like deep inside, I know that it's like, it's a different kind of performing, it's not really...

'Cause I'm not really doing much, you know, like technically it's not that hard.

I've spent a lot of time in tiny venues in the way that I got my record deal and got my name out there just performing live.

It's been a lot of work; it definitely hasn't been a sudden explosion into fame.
I became a very passionate Christian when I was 17. I started writing and performing poetry at different venues across the U.K. I started performing from then, really.
