He further added, “You have to have that desire when you come into really want to be everything you can be. And if it’s a character, get into it. Be that character when you’re in the ring.”

Ultimately, WWE Owner Vince McMahon joked about not being in character outside the ring pointing at Pat McAfee. However, the Big Man understands that a quality of a human being and enormous talent for acting can give the best result inside the squared circle.
