New York was a big man's territory, where there were people like Andre the Giant, who was seven-four and weighed in at 520 pounds...there wasn't anybody there wrestling under 280 pounds, so basically I was a midget going into a giant's world.
I was six-foot-one and my weight at this time was 210 pounds, so I knew I had to start training in a different way to put a little bulk on.
