Taking some of the pressure off my bad knees, hips and back should have been the incentive. Being able to play outside with my kids should have been the incentive.

I wish I would have realized many, many years ago that my incentive didn't need to be big matches. As much as I loved my days as commissioner of WWE in 2000, without those big matches to train for, my weight took off in a hurry - hitting 335 by September, 2000. Without the incentive of big matches to train for, I just did not seem to have any incentive to train at all.

With the exception of 2 brief flirtations below 300 - when I got down to 272 for my 2004 #Backlash match with Randy Orton, and in 2009, when I ever so briefly got into the 290's to wrestle Sting, I have spent all of my time since 2000 WELL north of 300 lbs.
