00:00Vince McMahon called and said he wanted me to come and see how they do things and I never left.
00:14It's not just a moniker you know I was the I'm the only athlete ever to win a world title in
00:27powerlifting, win a nationals in Olympic weightlifting, place in the top ten in the
00:35Olympics and to win the world's strongest man. Nobody else has won all three sports.
00:41My favorite movie is Coming to America and there's a there's a scene where there's a
00:54band Randy Watson and his band Sexual Chocolate and I actually met Barry Bloom that wrote the
01:03movie and he was honored that I chose that name but it was it was it was just a me being a clown
01:13and getting a chance to clown and act up and sweet talk girls. I love Andre because Andre was
01:26the guy that I identified with and it put a bond between me and my grandmother who was the biggest
01:34wrestling fan in the history of wrestling fans. The Undertaker and Big Show both have roles to
01:43that level just off the fact that of what they've done and accomplished and I don't know
01:50if we'll ever see a guy like Big Show again that's so big that could do so much and I mean
01:59out of all the men that I've wrestled he's the most versatile and he's the biggest.
02:07Outside the ring coming in coming in 10th place in the Olympics is pretty special. You have
02:23billions of people watching the pressure is enormous and I was able to tune out the noise
02:33and focus on the job at hand and it was able to do that to be 10th out of you know all the
02:41billions of people on the planet I felt pretty special that day. This game has a new story mode
02:55and you can create your character to look like you to have the all of the things that you wanted
03:04to have and I'm looking forward to seeing that because I want to create myself you know I'm
03:10gonna have to like fuss at somebody because every game has me as my awareness and my intellect as
03:21like a 77, 82 you know and then I'm a 99 man my awareness should be the highest of even more than
03:31my strength now I think Big Show had the same strength as me how is that possible so you know
03:38we got to fix some stuff that's about it. The first time I saw my likeness on the game I just
03:48started crying because it was it was just a it was a testament of the work had paid off like I
03:57actually made it like you know the see the first action figure like those moments that I'll never
04:03forget because it's supposed to be special and the game itself it makes you immortal like you
04:14know long after you're dead like you know that that stuff will still exist. If I said people gonna
04:25be like ah you're just being a suck-up but like John Cena's statistics are at the top like
04:35everything's at 99 and you just can't lose like if you know how to do everything like you can't
04:42lose. I don't know now because I want to play the new game because I know there's a new sheriff in
04:48town and he's on the cover. Well we always had the Mount Rushmore which is four but five is pretty
04:59easy for me as order of importance you know you kind of go left to right and and I would put Rick
05:10Flair on the left and then I would put Shawn Michaels next to him Andre in the back Undertaker
05:19and Hulk Hogan. What's going on guys this is Mark here the world's strongest man you're watching GNTV.
