Unfortunately, you're protected in the wwe. Come out to the real world and test your tantrum with adults https://t.co/AkwK3XNI80

Guys, not everyone is going to like every style of wrestling. Same in any sport or music, movies & pretty much every form of entertainment.

And I dunno about you all but I've always thought Randy was awesome! Still is!

I just love wrestling, every type. Wish more people were this way. It's an amazing art that I've been blessed to make a living from.

– And speaking of Battle Arts, Mississauga.com recently asked Santino why he opened the school.

He said: “I knew the clock was ticking with my neck, so I wanted to have something established by the time I retired and not scramble to establish something. For the first two years, I was still with WWE and like clockwork, as soon as my contract expired with WWE, this began to stand on its own two feet, so it was perfect timing.“
