Wrestling with the Devil

  My beautiful daughter, Lauren, and me celebrating her first birthday

  My first world title victory against Barry Windham took place on July 14, 1991, at the Great American Bash in Baltimore.

  THE QUEST FOR SUCCESS

  For six weeks, I barnstormed across the country in the Lex Express, making appearances everywhere from local TV shows to shopping malls. It was part of the promotional buildup to SummerSlam ’93.

  Sting and I were co-owners of this Main Event Fitness gym, the first one that opened in Atlanta.

  Polishing the pecs with some cable crossovers inside the gym, the end of a heavy chest workout

  Feuding with two of my greatest challengers: Yokozuna and Hulk Hogan

  A WHOLE NEW LIFE

  While recovering from my injury, I went to the Shepherd Center’s chapel every day to find comfort, strength, and encouragement

  for what lay ahead.

  Encouraging others in the hospital to find the same hope I’ve found

  Today, I enjoy meeting and working with up-and-coming wrestlers who love the sport as much as I still do.
