Your father obviously has a lot of history in Atlanta, home of WrestleMania XXVII. What was it like growing up here where your dad has always been such a big star?

I wouldn’t have been a Georgia boy and grown up near Atlanta had wrestling not been a massive part of Atlanta. When I moved here, my dad was the executive producer at World Championship Wrestling and before that Jim Crockett Promotions. That’s why so many veteran superstars and talents from the past still live in the area because of the fallout when such a massive company with such massive roots was here. For WrestleMania to be in Atlanta, formerly a place that was taboo for WWE to come to, it’s further proof that when they say World Wrestling Entertainment it truly is the world. On a personal note, it’s great to be in a city that my dad was such a prominent entertainer in and getting the chance to sing my own tune and be on the same marquee he was.
