I always relate to the way I ended my wrestling career, I ended it on a storybook note and I would never go back and tarnish that, and it’s the same with this, with Drax. I have to finish in a perfect way, and I would never sign for another job like Drax just to get a paycheck, I wouldn’t blemish that and I won’t.”
