So I am going to go out there and give it my all, just like I did in 1996 when I won my gold medals. Just like I did when I beat Triple H for the title. This title is like a drug. Its addiction is so powerful; that once you taste it you can’t or won’t let it go. So you can bet I am going to give it my all and do whatever it takes to keep my hands on the prize. It’s true…it’s DAMN true.
