okay let’s kick it off with rule number
one be yourself I remember I had great
angst every night before I went out
Oh Jamie
my very first WrestleMania the biggest
show of the year the Superbowl of
wrestling that night 20,000 fans started
chanting rocky sucks it was a sobering
moment and that was the beginning of the
end of my initial run in the WWE a few
weeks later a tour tendon to my knee and
I was out for the rest of the summer and
I came to the realization before I went
back that it wasn’t me personally that
they didn’t like it was that I wasn’t
being me I wasn’t being real wasn’t
being authentic who is this guy in
wrestling who’s smiling when he’s
getting beat few weeks later I got a
call from the WWE and I spoke to Vince
McMahon he said when you come back we
could continue to shove you down
people’s throats or we could turn your
heel because they want to boo you anyway
I said I think it’s a great idea and I
said before we get off the phone I have
one requests I said when I come back and
we go live I just need two minutes live
me talking to the audience live two
minutes is all I’m asking
he said okay you got a couple of weeks
later I came back we’re on live TV I
grab the microphone fans were already
booing he started chanting rocky sucks
I said um I may be a lot of things but
sucks isn’t one of them in that moment
the rock was born and about a month
later I was a hottest heel in the
company and things were on fire and the
greatest lesson about that is be you be
yourself whether it’s in entertainment
whether it’s out in public whether
you’re celebrity or not whatever and the
most powerful thing you could be as
yourself rule number two always give
your all 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 have 45
minutes plan for the match it’s nonstop
and go right so your conditioning is
tested we get to MetLife Stadium it’s a
big night this is its game night right
it’s its championship night for me
45-minute matches planned out there’s no
cut
there’s no all right well let’s pick it
back up tomorrow you know it’s go time
it’s just like you guys in a game at the
15-minute mark
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 now it’s 85,000
people right and we just laid out like
this I kind of roll 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 the something just
happened referee comes over and he’s
like rocky all right yeah yeah yeah I
think I’m all right 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 well I got to do I’m gonna
stay in the game committed to the team I
committed to my team the entire roster
right and in the world of wrestling when
you have a big show like this and you
have a big main event that the entire
show is based around the wrestlers will
come up to the two people in the main
event at some point all throughout the
night in the locker room and just like
hey thank you for the house I appreciate
it
thank you for the house and what that
means is that’s a way of saying thank
you for drawing helping draw eighty five
thousand people and putting a lot of
money in my paycheck in my bank account
thank you for the house we got a lot of
thank you for the houses that night bang
this happens and now I realize I can’t
move my legs I got 30 minutes left of
this match and it’s not just like around
I mean these are like we got to put on a
show there’s a lot of big flying and
suplexes and all that 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 and again this
is a little takeaway for you guys if you
ever have this moment I’m sure you have
if you haven’t it’s coming we have this
decision I said no let’s keep going I
said how much time is up he’s like 32
minutes okay
wrestle 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 thumbs
or something like you know I don’t know
your mind starts with you in the moment
there’s 85
and people your Adrenaline’s rushing
like a man what happens if I’m gonna
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 it’s
like a massive suplex lag go over his
head and slams me down and I remember
turning 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 just happened now luckily
the match is over he pins Ben when she
comes to the back
get to the back I can’t move now getting
a little nervous and doctors come in
John comes in you okay he comes in where
was like to celebrate with booze he
brings like moonshine like legit
moonshine that’s like crazy white boys
that they bring like in a jar this is
moonshot hid let’s have some more
chances okay don’t know what’s happening
rush get on a jet rushed home to my
doctors down in Florida and get 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 yes
really really dumb so it’s a very long
story to tell you
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 fuck 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 to go by without
giving it my all
rule number three overcome adversity I
was evicted when I was 14 years old and
then we were forced off the Island of
Hawaii to move of all places we had to
moved to Nashville and we lived in a
little motel and I was
trying to remain as positive as I could
and now your company is called seven
butts why is that seven bucks so my goal
was to play in the NFL but that didn’t
happen for me I went up to the Canadian
Football League I played up there I got
cut from there flew back down to Miami
my old man was living in Tampa mm-hmm I
said I called him at midnight when I
land I said you got to come get me on
the way back up to Tampa I said God you
know let me see how much money I got I
pulled out my wallet opened it up I took
out a 501 and change and that’s why we
have seven bucks seven bucks Prudential
rule number four always be preparing an
in wrestling world that I grew up in
professional wrestling especially in the
80 70s 80s where wrestling was a lot
it was there was a lost season obviously
there’s a lot of season and wrestling in
the off season then there’s no off
season now so I think having that
fatality no off season and being in a
constant state
training and trying to get better by the
way it’s like look I’ve got a lot of
professional athletes who my friends UFC
fighters – pro football players both
soccer players amateur weekend warriors
the greatest part I think about training
is I always tell this to people is look
you can’t play football forever I played
for 10 years you can’t be in the ring
forever you can’t be in the Octagon
forever you can’t be in a boxing ring
forever our football field but you can
always train and get better and push
yourself worker gets work and I always
enjoy working and I love what I do in
terms of making move yourself always
preparing for some sort of hole that
keeps me leading me and rule number five
the last one before a very special bonus
rule is swing away I knew I wanted to be
something and it was important to me to
be something that was it was important
to me that I didn’t fail but by the way
and if I did fail at least that what was
also important was a lesson and I didn’t
realize that until I got older because
you know when you’re in it you’re in the
grind you don’t really recognize those
things when you’re younger but I could
recognize him now and the importance of
them now and it just in terms of the
drive and the determination a lot of it
was experience to get your ass kicked
you get back up and you put the gloves
now I’ve got a bonus the rock clip on
how to work passionately on your craft
that I think you’re really gonna enjoy
but before that it’s time for the three
point landing questions time to move
from just watching another video to
actually taking action in your life or
your business and if you’re feeling bold
leave your answers in the comments below
here we go question number one what do
you need to swing away at number two
what adversity do you need to push
through right now and number three how
can you give it all to make sure that
I think a lot of people have got to in
terms of a role model for achieving your
ambitions sure what is your advice for
people watching this going I want to do
that thing I love the way that you do
this how do I go about doing it was your
golden rule I don’t know if there’s a
golden rule I can tell you this that I
believe anything is possible right I
live in the world a possibility and I
also believe that anything we can
accomplish anything with our two hands
and just putting in the work with our
two hands and also you hear this often
but it’s really really true you got to
find something if you love what you do
and find and be passionate about what
you do and find something that you could
be passionate like it really helps you
know it gives you that motivation when
you wake up in the morning raise your
standard Apple at the core its core
value is that that people need passion
and not one drop of my self-worth
