As Undertaker once told me, \u2018Don\u2019t play the wrestler. Be the wrestler.’ At the time, \u2019Taker was my mentor, a role assigned by Vince [McMahon], and I had no idea what he was talking about. I was a wrestler, obviously, right? Now, almost 15 years later, I have a much different appreciation for his lessons. I know who I am every time I step out there, and I know what I\u2019m aiming for; and that\u2019s Roman.<\/p>\n
