"The whole time I wrestled for 40 years we'd have beers before the matches, beers after the matches, and when we go to the hotel we'd all meet down at the bar. It was kind of like part of the whole wrestling genre, you know, and you're hanging out with all the wrestlers. And I just got to a point where my joints started hurting like crazy. I'm not saying I'll never drink again but I would never drink daily, you know, like I did when I was wrestling," he said. [0:26 - 0:48]
