"I'm in character, and I'm trying to act all tough and badass and then all of a sudden, at the corner of my eyes, I'm doing like my thing getting in the ring. I see her like... sticks out like a sore thumb, because this is the woman that I've been in love with for this many years from afar, and I'm like, 'Oh my God! Oh my! No, no, no!' And I swear to God, I turned to Bianca, who I was facing in the ring and I said, 'No, no, she's too hot! She's too hot!' She stunned me with her beauty! I swear to God! And I was like. 'Oh my gosh I have to wrestle 20 minutes and look like a fool in front of her right now!'"[6:11-6:42]
