A Quote by Rocky Johnson

When I wrestled, I always considered myself an athlete and a wrestler. — © Rocky Johnson
When I wrestled, I always considered myself an athlete and a wrestler.
I've never really considered myself a wrestler. I always considered myself an entertainer, but I always wanted to be better than the guy next to me.
I do feel like since I am a third-generation wrestler, I do have to hold myself - and there are a lot of people that expect certain things out of me - I'm an athlete, and I'm a top athlete.
I wrestled my guys growing up. I've wrestled with Hulk Hogan. I've wrestled against Shawn Michaels. I've wrestled against Ric Flair.
I've always considered myself a feminist, I always considered myself somebody who is a reproductive rights activist, and I've spent the past 25 years of my life speaking truth to power. And using humor to do that.
I'm always prepared. I've wrestled every kind of wrestler that there is, I've been in every situation that there possibly has been.
I have always considered myself, when I learned what the word meant, I've always considered myself a Pagan.
I consider myself an athlete. I train like an athlete, I eat like an athlete, I recover and get sore just like any other athlete.
My uncle wrestled in the late '80s to early '90s, and I was too young to see his matches. However, he has always supported me in my journey, and I think that without his support, all this would not have been possible. He taught me a lot, and he is the reason that I'm a WWE wrestler.
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
Curt Hennig was one of best guys I ever wrestled. If I could've come back and wrestled one last match, I wish I could've wrestled Curt. He was my favorite guy to wrestle.
I see myself as an athlete and just try to market myself as a feminine athlete.
I think that Ben Askren, when he competed as a wrestler, he was an amazing athlete.
I don't think I'd be the wrestler or the athlete that I am today if I didn't have some of the intergender matches that I have.
I think people would like to see Kurt Angle and myself get in there and perform with one another. I think he's an amazing athlete, a talented wrestler, and it's a match people probably don't think that they're going to see.
My favorite wrestler growing up was Dean Malenko. He was a very technical wrestler, and when I trained with Shawn Michaels, he wasn't that kind of a technical wrestler. So, when I finally met Regal in 2001, he was that kind of a wrestler, and all of a sudden, I could ask him things, and he would know what I was talking about and how to do it.
Normally, with girls that I know in the business, they start off managing and then they become a wrestler, or they just stay as a manager who can wrestle, but I was always a wrestler.
