“I wasn't a huge fan of the comic book, but I definitely was of the cartoon series. I wasn't much for sitting around and reading as a kid, I preferred to be outside running around and playing sports, but I was absolutely thrilled to get the role of Colossus. I don't think I realised how popular the character was until I got the role and started doing some research; it was then that I really fell in love with the character of Colossus myself.” ThinkingBookCharacterRunningKidsReadingSportsRolesFansHugeResearchSittingSeriesComicComic BookCartoonRealisedSitting AroundPlaying SportsColossus Author:Daniel Cudmore
“Pro wrestling is not fake; it's sports entertainment. We go out there and we perform, and a lot of what we do out there is real, but we're not going to insult anyone's intelligence - there is a predetermined winner.

“My best career moments have come being a fan first. Because that's why we love sports, and that's why I got into sports - those highs and lows on that roller coaster ride that I don't want to get off - because I enjoy the highs as much as I enjoy the lows. The highs are even better when you experience the lows, and that can apply when rooting for your favorite sports team or your career. It's also important not to get too high or too low, and it's also important not to listen to the noise. You just have to do it for you in those career moments because they're gonna come.” WantFirstsImportantMomentsSportsEnjoyCareersTeamFansLowsNoiseRoller CoasterYour FavoriteCoastersSports TeamHighs And LowsFavorite SportsRoller Coaster Rides Author:Linda Cohn
