“I was off to the side trying to mind my own business and Kathy Duva woke me up. She started talking. I don’t know why she keeps doing that. It’s interesting that ones that are not getting in that ring are the ones that are doing the most talking. I love this, that’s what big promotion is all about. We’re not supposed to like each other.”
