00:06:20,656 --> 00:06:21,758
THAT.

191
00:06:21,791 --> 00:06:22,658
THEY LIKE TO THINK OF MY FATHER

192
00:06:22,692 --> 00:06:25,361
AS A VERY STRONG MAN THAT

193
00:06:25,395 --> 00:06:27,630
NOTHING HAD CONTROL OVER HIM,

194
00:06:27,663 --> 00:06:30,333
BUT HE DRANK ALL DAY.

195
00:06:30,366 --> 00:06:31,367
IT WASN'T A LOT.

196
00:06:31,401 --> 00:06:32,602
IT WASN'T LIKE HE WOULD DRINK A

197
00:06:32,635 --> 00:06:36,005
CASE EVERY TWO HOURS, HE LOVED

198
00:06:36,105 --> 00:06:39,976
HIS RUM AND GIN AND HE DRANK IT

199
00:06:40,009 --> 00:06:42,678
STRAIGHT FROM A GLASS.

200
00:06:42,712 --> 00:06:43,780
HE HAD A FEW BOTTLES UP IN THE

201
00:06:43,813 --> 00:06:47,216
CABINET.

202
00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:48,284
I'D WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING

203
00:06:48,317 --> 00:06:51,387
AND HE WOULD PULL THAT RUM DOWN

204
00:06:51,421 --> 00:06:53,423
AND PUT TWO GLASSES AND DRINK

205
00:06:53,456 --> 00:07:01,130
THEM BOTH AND HEAD TO WORK.

221
00:07:22,151 --> 00:07:23,820
I WAS AT FOOTBALL PRACTICE AND

222
00:07:23,853 --> 00:07:26,322
SOMEBODY CAME UP TO ME, RECEIVED

223
00:07:26,355 --> 00:07:27,390
A PHONE CALL, ONE OF MY COACHES,

224
00:07:27,423 --> 00:07:29,726
AND TOLD ME THAT MY FATHER WAS

225
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:31,360
IN AN ACCIDENT AND THAT HE WAS

226
00:07:31,394 --> 00:07:32,662
AT MERCY HOSPITAL AND IT WASN'T

227
00:07:32,695 --> 00:07:35,098
SERIOUS AT THE TIME.

228
00:07:35,098 --> 00:07:37,166
> > WHAT HAPPENED WAS HE WENT

229
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,968
INTO THE CAB TO GET HIS LUNCH

230

AND WHEN HE STEPPED BACK, HE

231
00:07:41,104 --> 00:07:42,772
STEPPED ON SOME REBAR, LOST HIS

232
00:07:42,805 --> 00:07:43,740
BALANCE, AND WENT AGAINST THE

233
00:07:43,773 --> 00:07:47,810
GUARDRAIL AND FELL THROUGH IT.

234
00:07:47,844 --> 00:07:49,178
13 FEET ON THE BACK.

235
00:07:49,212 --> 00:07:50,513
HE HIT HIS SHOULDER AND HIS HEAD

236
00:07:50,546 --> 00:07:52,115
AT THE SAME TIME.

237
00:07:52,148 --> 00:07:53,616
HE ACTUALLY BROKE HIS SHOULDER

238
00:07:53,649 --> 00:07:55,218
AND FRACTURED HIS SKULL ALL THE

239
00:07:55,251 --> 00:07:58,020
WAY THROUGH LIKE AN EGG.

OR PULL HIM OFF OF THE MACHINE.

250
00:08:19,342 --> 00:08:20,843
SHE DECIDED THAT SHE WASN'T

251
00:08:20,877 --> 00:08:21,844
GOING TO LET HIM JUST STAY LIKE

252
00:08:21,878 --> 00:08:24,313
THAT.

253
00:08:24,347 --> 00:08:25,214
I REMEMBER HER GETTING ON HER

254
00:08:25,248 --> 00:08:28,484
KNEES AND BEFORE SHE GAVE THE

255
00:08:28,518 --> 00:08:31,154
DOCTOR THE PERMISSION TO DO IT,

256
00:08:31,187 --> 00:08:32,989
SHE BEGGED MY DAD TO COME BACK.

257
00:08:33,089 --> 00:08:37,493
SHE ASKED HIM, OR SHE ACTUALLY

258
00:08:37,527 --> 00:08:41,497
TOLD HIM IF YOU COME BACK, WE

259
00:08:41,531 --> 00:08:51,874
WILL MAKE THIS WORK.

260
00:08:55,144 --> 00:08:56,813
SHE SAID SHE'LL BE THE WIFE THAT

261
00:08:56,846 --> 00:09:01,150
HE WANTED HER TO BE.

262
00:09:01,184 --> 00:09:03,419
IT JUST CRUSHED ME.

263
00:09:03,453 --> 00:09:06,689
THEN RIGHT BEFORE THEY PULLED

264
00:09:06,723 --> 00:09:13,062
THE PLUG, MY SISTER STARTED

265
00:09:13,062 --> 00:09:17,567
CRYING AND SHE JUMPED ON MY DAD.

266
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,170
SHE BEGGED HIM NOT TO GO.

267
00:09:21,204 --> 00:09:22,972
UGH.

268
00:09:23,072 --> 00:09:24,640
WE PULLED HER OFF OF HIM AND

269
00:09:24,674 --> 00:09:26,109
THEY PULLED THE PLUG AND THAT

270
00:09:26,142 --> 00:09:28,478
WAS IT.

271
00:09:28,511 --> 00:09:30,813
MY DAD WAS GONE.

272
00:09:30,847 --> 00:09:32,615
I JUST HATED SEEING MY MOTHER

273
00:09:32,648 --> 00:09:37,153
LIKE THAT.

FATHER RIGHT BEFORE I WRESTLE

EVERY MATCH.

283
00:09:50,366 --> 00:09:51,601
IT GIVES ME A LITTLE EXTRA

284
00:09:51,634 --> 00:09:53,636
MOTIVATION FOR WHAT HE DID FOR

285
00:09:53,669 --> 00:09:55,138
ME THROUGHOUT MY LIFE, AND I

286
00:09:55,171 --> 00:09:57,507
DEDICATE STUFF TO HIM,

287
00:09:57,540 --> 00:09:59,108
EVERYTHING I DO.

288
00:09:59,108 --> 00:10:03,880
IT HELPS ME TO DO BETTER.

289
00:10:12,955 --> 00:10:14,223
MY FATHER PASSED AWAY ON A

290
00:10:14,257 --> 00:10:17,493
WEDNESDAY, AND THAT WAS THE

291
00:10:17,527 --> 00:10:20,029
FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL.

292
00:10:20,063 --> 00:10:21,030
I DECIDED TO PLAY FOOTBALL THAT

293
00:10:21,064 --> 00:10:22,732
WEEK.

294
00:10:22,765 --> 00:10:23,699
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL

295
00:10:23,733 --> 00:10:26,469
FOR MY DAD KNOWING THAT HE WOULD

296
00:10:26,502 --> 00:10:29,672
WANT ME TO PLAY.

297
00:10:29,705 --> 00:10:33,176
I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY,

298
00:10:33,209 --> 00:10:36,546
BUT IT JUST FELT LIKE SOMEBODY

299
00:10:36,579 --> 00:10:38,414
WAS TUGGING AT ME THAT WAS

300
00:10:38,448 --> 00:10:40,283
TELLING ME, GET UP.

301
00:10:40,316 --> 00:10:44,687
KEEP MOVING.

302
00:10:44,721 --> 00:10:45,488
THAT'S WHAT KEPT GOING IN MY

303
00:10:45,521 --> 00:10:47,090
HEAD, KEEP MOVING, JUST KEEP

304
00:10:47,123 --> 00:10:48,291
MOVING.

305
00:10:48,324 --> 00:10:49,859
I REMEMBER MY COACH, WE HAD A

306
00:10:49,892 --> 00:10:51,294
QUICK PRAYER RIGHT BEFORE THE

307
00:10:51,327 --> 00:10:53,029
GAME AND HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT

308
00:10:53,062 --> 00:10:54,263
MY DAD THAT MADE ME FEEL REALLY

309
00:10:54,297 --> 00:10:55,565
GOOD.

310
00:10:55,598 --> 00:10:58,167
I WENT OUT THERE AND I--

311
00:10:58,201 --> 00:11:01,571
SOMETHING JUST SWITCHED, A LIGHT

312
00:11:01,604 --> 00:11:03,606
SWITCH WENT OFF IN ME.

313
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:05,174
I HAD A GAME THAT YOU DON'T

314
00:11:05,208 --> 00:11:07,744
NORMALLY HAVE.

315
00:11:07,777 --> 00:11:10,747
IT WASN'T JUST SPECTACULAR, IT

316
00:11:10,780 --> 00:11:13,416
WAS BEYOND UNBELIEVABLE.

317
00:11:13,449 --> 00:11:19,922
IT WAS PERFECT.

318
00:11:19,956 --> 00:11:21,791
I HAD TWO TOUCHDOWNS AS A FULL

319
00:11:21,824 --> 00:11:23,760
BACK, I HAD 14 SOLO TACKLES, TWO

320

FUMBLE RECOVERIES, AN

321
00:11:25,495 --> 00:11:27,230

IT JUST BLEW MY MIND.

327
00:11:43,746 --> 00:11:45,314
I HAD SOME SPECTACULAR GAMES

328
00:11:45,348 --> 00:11:47,316
AFTER THAT, BUT NOTHING CLOSE TO

329
00:11:47,350 --> 00:11:49,819
THAT, AND I DID IT FOR MY DAD, I

330
00:11:49,852 --> 00:11:50,987
DID IT FOR MY FATHER.

331
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:52,755
I DID IT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE

332
00:11:52,789 --> 00:11:54,290
WANTED ME TO DO, THAT'S THE

333
00:11:54,323 --> 00:11:58,294
PLAYER HE WANTED ME TO BE, AND I

334
00:11:58,327 --> 00:12:04,267
ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE HIM PROUD.

335
00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:05,768
IN HIGH SCHOOL, I WAS REALLY

336
00:12:05,802 --> 00:12:08,938

559

DAVE WAS A MENTOR AND OF COURSE

560
00:19:34,951 --> 00:19:37,520

HIM, HE WAS EVERYTHING I WANTED

564
00:19:42,225 --> 00:19:43,493
TO BE.

TEACHING IT, HE LOVED COMPETING.

567
00:19:49,098 --> 00:19:50,099
HE WAS THE BEST COACH I EVER

568
00:19:50,099 --> 00:19:50,800
HAD.

569
00:19:50,833 --> 00:19:52,335
DAVE SCHULTZ WAS THE KIND OF

570
00:19:52,368 --> 00:19:54,937
COACH THAT COULD PICK APART

571
00:19:54,971 --> 00:19:56,272

572
00:19:56,305 --> 00:19:57,807
DAVE, HE SHOWED ME SO MANY

573
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,542
DIFFERENT WAYS TO BEAT PEOPLE.

574
00:19:59,575 --> 00:20:00,676

579

STRONG, BUT THEY SLOWED THE PACE

580
00:20:11,854 --> 00:20:12,855
DOWN, AND THEY WOULD SLOW ME

581
00:20:12,889 --> 00:20:14,290
DOWN SO I WOULD GO AT THEIR

582

WE WENT ON A DATE AT APPLEBEE'S,

2186
01:11:02,171 --> 01:11:03,473

DARK SIDE.

2213
01:11:52,188 --> 01:11:53,289
THERE'S ALSO AN UNDERBELLY THAT

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

2226
01:12:15,311 --> 01:12:16,579
PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, THESE

2227
01:12:16,612 --> 01:12:18,648

2228
01:12:18,681 --> 01:12:19,849
THEY'RE BOUNCING AROUND OVER

01:12:19,882 --> 01:12:20,917
THAT MAT AND THE MAT'S NOT

MORE, SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, IT'S

2233

FEAR OF FAILING THAT COULD

MANIFEST ITSELF INTO A GREAT

MORE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, OR IT CAN

2242
01:12:43,506 --> 01:12:50,580

> > BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2003
AND

2244
01:12:52,382 --> 01:12:54,050
2006, I HAD A VERY BAD STRING OF

2245
01:12:54,150 --> 01:12:56,386
LUCK.

2246
01:12:56,419 --> 01:12:58,154
IN EARLY 2003, I WAS ON BROCK

2247
01:12:58,187 --> 01:13:00,656
LESNAR'S BACK.

2248
01:13:00,690 --> 01:13:02,592
I HAD HIM IN A CHOKE HOLD, AND

2249
01:13:02,625 --> 01:13:04,093
HE WAS RUNNING FROM ONE SIDE OF

2250
01:13:04,093 --> 01:13:05,628
THE RING TO THE OTHER.

2251
01:13:05,661 --> 01:13:08,131
HE TURNED SIDEWAYS AND I HIT THE

2252
01:13:08,164 --> 01:13:09,766
TURNBUCKLE AND MY HEAD SNAPPED

2253
01:13:09,799 --> 01:13:13,236
SIDEWAYS.

2254
01:13:13,269 --> 01:13:14,537
I LITERALLY LOST FEELING IN MY

2255
01:13:14,570 --> 01:13:16,105
LEFT ARM.

2256
01:13:16,139 --> 01:13:18,274
I COULDN'T RAISE MY ARM.

2257
01:13:18,307 --> 01:13:19,375
IT WAS JUST DEAD.

2258
01:13:19,409 --> 01:13:20,643
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG, AND

2259
01:13:20,676 --> 01:13:22,345
I WENT TO SEE A DOCTOR, AND I

2260
01:13:22,378 --> 01:13:23,579
WAS TOLD WHAT IT WAS AND THAT I

2261
01:13:23,613 --> 01:13:29,619
BROKE MY NECK.

2262
01:13:29,652 --> 01:13:30,720
IT WAS "STONE COLD" STEVE

2263
01:13:30,753 --> 01:13:31,888
AUSTIN'S DOCTOR.

2264
01:13:31,921 --> 01:13:34,390
HE DID STONE COLD'S NECK FUSION.

2265
01:13:34,424 --> 01:13:36,726
WHEN I WENT TO SEE HIM, HE

2266
01:13:36,759 --> 01:13:38,394
WANTED TO DO FUSION RIGHT AWAY.

2267
01:13:38,428 --> 01:13:39,328
> > WHEN I HAD TO LEAVE TO GO
GET

2268

2269
01:13:40,830 --> 01:13:41,664
15 MONTHS.

2270
01:13:41,697 --> 01:13:43,466
THAT'S CAREER SUICIDE FOR 9 OUT

2271
01:13:43,499 --> 01:13:44,801
OF 10 PEOPLE.

2272
01:13:44,834 --> 01:13:46,135
KURT HAD THAT SAME FEAR.

2273
01:13:46,135 --> 01:13:47,303
HE'S NOT A DUMMY.

2274
01:13:47,336 --> 01:13:49,005
> > I WAS VERY TENTATIVE ABOUT

2275
01:13:49,038 --> 01:13:50,706
THAT BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO

2276
01:13:50,740 --> 01:13:52,241
TAKE A YEAR OFF, AND I DON'T

2277
01:13:52,275 --> 01:13:53,476
WANT TO TAKE THAT LONG OFF.

2278
01:13:53,509 --> 01:13:55,144
I REMEMBER ONE NIGHT, I WENT

2279
01:13:55,144 --> 01:13:59,582
OVER TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE AND

2280
01:13:59,615 --> 01:14:00,783
THERE'S A REALLY NICE KID.

2281
01:14:00,817 --> 01:14:03,352
HIS NAME'S JOHNNY AND HE SAID,

2282
01:14:03,386 --> 01:14:04,520
"I HEAR YOU'RE NOT WRESTLING

2283
01:14:04,554 --> 01:14:06,389
BROCK AT WRESTLEMANIA."

2284
01:14:06,422 --> 01:14:07,890
I SAID, "YES."

2285
01:14:07,924 --> 01:14:09,759
HE SAID, "I REALLY WISH YOU'D BE

2286
01:14:09,792 --> 01:14:11,627
ABLE TO WRESTLE BROCK."

2287
01:14:11,661 --> 01:14:14,130
HE HANDED ME A DIRECT TV

2288
01:14:14,163 --> 01:14:17,233

2289
01:14:17,266 --> 01:14:20,203

2291
01:14:21,871 --> 01:14:24,207
I LOOK DOWN AND I WAS LIKE,

2292
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,409
"THIS MIGHT NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN."

2293
01:14:26,442 --> 01:14:27,810
I CALLED VINCE.

2294
01:14:27,844 --> 01:14:29,545
I SAID, "LISTEN, I'M DOING

2342
01:15:45,955 --> 01:15:48,391
A MAN NAMED DR. JHO GOT A HOLD

2343
01:15:48,424 --> 01:15:50,426
OF MY MANAGER AND HE SAID,

2344
01:15:50,460 --> 01:15:52,729

2350
01:15:59,969 --> 01:16:00,703
HE WAS GOING TO GIVE ME A

MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY.

2352
01:16:02,538 --> 01:16:03,906
I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED A

2353
01:16:03,940 --> 01:16:06,075
LAMINECTOMY, AND HE WOULD CUT

2354
01:16:06,075 --> 01:16:08,277
OUT THE PROBLEM AND LET THE NECK

2355
01:16:08,311 --> 01:16:09,979

2356
01:16:10,079 --> 01:16:11,481

2357
01:16:11,514 --> 01:16:12,815

01:16:15,785 --> 01:16:18,388
LIKE PUTTING A PATCH ON AN

2361
01:16:18,421 --> 01:16:20,656
INDYCAR, A SUPER CAR, AND THEN

2362
01:16:20,690 --> 01:16:22,291
EXPECT IT TO GO OUT ON A TRACK

2363
01:16:22,325 --> 01:16:23,826
AND RUN 250 MILES AN HOUR AGAIN.

2364

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A

2365
01:16:25,661 --> 01:16:27,196
HIGH-PERFORMANCE MACHINE AND I

2366
01:16:27,230 --> 01:16:28,564
THOUGHT IT WAS A PATCH JOB

2367
01:16:28,598 --> 01:16:30,400
RATHER THAN A FIX JOB.

HOPEFULLY, I'LL GET BACK IN THE

2371
01:16:33,102 --> 01:16:35,104
LINE UP.

2372

2373
01:16:36,105 --> 01:16:37,907
WHILE AND STAY INJURY FREE AND

2374
01:16:37,940 --> 01:16:39,942
MY NECK IS INJURY FREE, THEN I

2375
01:16:39,976 --> 01:16:41,344
MADE THE RIGHT MOVE.

2376
01:16:44,147 --> 01:16:46,215
AFTER SIX WEEKS OF HEALING, I

2377
01:16:46,249 --> 01:16:48,317
WENT RIGHT BACK TO WRESTLING.

2378
01:16:48,351 --> 01:16:49,385
I DON'T BELIEVE MY NECK FULLY

2379
01:16:49,419 --> 01:16:50,453
HEALED.

2380
01:16:50,486 --> 01:16:52,121
A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, BROCK

2381
01:16:52,121 --> 01:16:53,656
LESNAR HIT ME OVER IN THE HEAD

2382
01:16:53,689 --> 01:16:54,891
WITH A CHAIR, BUT HE WENT

2383
01:16:54,924 --> 01:16:57,026
STRAIGHT OVER ON TOP OF MY HEAD

2384
01:16:57,126 --> 01:16:58,861
INSTEAD OF SWINGING IT SIDEWAYS.

2385
01:16:58,895 --> 01:17:00,263
WHEN HE DID THAT, HE BROKE MY

2386
01:17:00,296 --> 01:17:01,664
NECK AGAIN.

2387
01:17:01,697 --> 01:17:02,832
I BELIEVE IT WAS THREE OR FOUR

2388
01:17:02,865 --> 01:17:04,333
MONTHS AFTER MY FIRST BREAK I

2389
01:17:04,367 --> 01:17:07,203
HAD MY SECOND BREAK.

2390
01:17:07,236 --> 01:17:08,304
MY THIRD OVERALL, BUT MY SECOND

2391
01:17:08,337 --> 01:17:09,572
IN WWE.

2392
01:17:09,605 --> 01:17:11,441
I WENT BACK TO THE DOCTOR, HE

2393
01:17:11,474 --> 01:17:13,242
DECIDED TO DO SURGERY AGAIN.

2394
01:17:13,276 --> 01:17:14,677
DID THE SAME THING AGAIN.

2395
01:17:14,711 --> 01:17:15,912
CLIPPED OUT PART OF THE DISC AND

2396
01:17:15,945 --> 01:17:18,381
LET THE NECK HEAL.

2397
01:17:18,414 --> 01:17:19,749
I GOT BACK AND DO IT AGAIN.

2398
01:17:19,782 --> 01:17:20,717

WRESTLEMANIA AGAINST EDDIE

2414
01:17:45,108 --> 01:17:45,875
BROKE THE VERTEBRAE.

2415
01:17:45,908 --> 01:17:46,843
I WAS TAKEN OFF THE SHELF.

2416
01:17:46,876 --> 01:17:47,710
VINCE MCMAHON SAID, "THAT'S

2417
01:17:47,744 --> 01:17:48,578

2420
01:17:50,546 --> 01:17:51,948
SO I DID THAT.

2421
01:17:51,981 --> 01:17:52,982
CAME BACK AND I STARTED

2422
01:17:53,015 --> 01:17:54,350
WRESTLING.

2423
01:17:54,384 --> 01:17:56,652
I BELIEVE EARLY 2006 I BROKE MY

2424
01:17:56,686 --> 01:17:58,588
NECK AGAIN.

2425
01:17:58,621 --> 01:18:00,757
I BROKE FOUR VERTEBRAE AND I

2426
01:18:00,790 --> 01:18:02,058
DON'T REMEMBER WHAT MATCH I DID

2427
01:18:02,058 --> 01:18:03,526
IT IN.

2428
01:18:03,559 --> 01:18:04,527
IT WAS JUST A LOT OF CONFUSION

2429
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,062
GOING ON IN MY HEAD.

2430
01:18:06,095 --> 01:18:07,463
A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON AT THAT

2431
01:18:07,497 --> 01:18:10,733
TIME, BUT THAT WAS FOUR BREAKS

2432

IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS.

2433
01:18:12,068 --> 01:18:15,338
IT WAS A REALLY BAD TIME FOR ME.

2434
01:18:15,371 --> 01:18:16,672
IN MY LIFE, I'VE HAD 40

2435
01:18:16,706 --> 01:18:18,808
INJURIES.

2436
01:18:18,841 --> 01:18:23,513

LEAST 150 STITCHES ON MY HEAD,

2445
01:18:52,942 --> 01:18:54,844

01:21:56,159 --> 01:21:57,627
I ADORED HER.

2544
01:21:57,660 --> 01:21:59,295
SHE WAS A GREAT WOMAN.

2545
01:21:59,328 --> 01:22:00,997
SHE JUST ENDED UP IN THREE BAD

2546
01:22:01,097 --> 01:22:02,231
MARRIAGES.

2547
01:22:02,265 --> 01:22:03,866
HER VALUE OF HERSELF BECAME

2548
01:22:03,900 --> 01:22:05,535
NOTHING.

2549
01:22:05,568 --> 01:22:08,371
SHE JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS USELESS

2550
01:22:08,404 --> 01:22:09,839
AND IT DROVE HER TO A POINT

2551
01:22:09,872 --> 01:22:14,110
WHERE SHE STARTED USING DRUGS.

2552
01:22:14,143 --> 01:22:23,352
SHE KEPT CALLING ME FOR MONEY.

2553
01:22:23,386 --> 01:22:25,521
I KEPT SENDING HER MONEY.

2554
01:22:25,555 --> 01:22:26,656
SHE KEPT TELLING ME THE BILLS

2555
01:22:26,689 --> 01:22:29,225
WERE RACKING UP.

2556
01:22:29,258 --> 01:22:31,894
I FOUND OUT LATER SHE WAS USING

2557
01:22:31,928 --> 01:22:33,463
IT FOR DRUGS.

2558
01:22:33,496 --> 01:22:35,865
WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT SHE WAS

2559
01:22:35,898 --> 01:22:38,634
$35,000 IN DEBT, I GAVE HER AN

2560
01:22:38,668 --> 01:22:40,837
ULTIMATUM.

2561
01:22:40,870 --> 01:22:43,439
I TOLD HER, SHE HAS TO MOVE UP

2562
01:22:43,473 --> 01:22:45,374
TO PITTSBURGH, LIVE WITH MY

2563
01:22:45,408 --> 01:22:47,610
MOTHER OR I WOULDN'T PAY HER

2564
01:22:47,643 --> 01:22:50,146
DEBT, SO SHE MOVED.

2565
01:22:50,179 --> 01:22:50,947
SHE CAME BACK.

2566
01:22:50,980 --> 01:22:52,582
SHE DIDN'T WANT TO, BUT SHE

2567
01:22:52,615 --> 01:22:54,384
DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE.

2568
01:22:54,417 --> 01:22:56,319
SHE MOVED BACK TO PITTSBURGH, I

2569
01:22:56,352 --> 01:22:59,455
PAID OFF THAT $35,000 DEBT, AND

2570
01:22:59,489 --> 01:23:01,090
SHE SEEMED TO BE DOING OKAY FOR

2571
01:23:01,124 --> 01:23:03,926
A WHILE.

2572
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:14,270
THEN SHE RELAPSED,

2573
01:23:24,414 --> 01:23:25,548
SO I GAVE HER

2574
01:23:25,581 --> 01:23:26,649
ANOTHER ULTIMATUM.

2575
01:23:26,682 --> 01:23:27,784
I TOLD HER THAT IF SHE DIDN'T

2576
01:23:27,817 --> 01:23:30,453
GET CLEANED, I WASN'T GOING TO

2577
01:23:30,486 --> 01:23:38,928
TALK TO HER EVER.

2578
01:23:38,961 --> 01:23:42,765
SHE DIDN'T GET CLEAN, SO FOR THE

2579
01:23:42,799 --> 01:23:44,267
NEXT EIGHT MONTHS, I DIDN'T TALK

2580
01:23:44,300 --> 01:23:54,844
TO HER, AND THEN SHE OVERDOSED.

2581
01:24:04,253 --> 01:24:14,731
I WISH I WOULD'VE TALKED TO HER.

2582
01:24:26,876 --> 01:24:32,548
NOW, I FIND OUT THAT NIGHT THAT

2583
01:24:32,582 --> 01:24:33,816

2584
01:24:33,850 --> 01:24:34,751
OVERDOSE.

2585
01:24:34,784 --> 01:24:36,619
THE NEXT DAY, I HAVE A 60-MINUTE

2588

I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, BUT I

2589
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,568
FIGURED IF I DID DO IT, IT'LL

2590
01:24:52,602 --> 01:24:54,036

2591
01:24:54,137 --> 01:25:05,114

2593

01:35:45,221 --> 01:35:46,222
FROM US.

2903
01:35:46,255 --> 01:35:47,924
HE WOULD DRINK WHEN WE WERE

2904
01:35:47,957 --> 01:35:48,958
SLEEPING.

2905
01:35:48,991 --> 01:35:50,526
HE WOULD DRINK WHEN HE WAS ALONE

2906
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:53,329
AWAY FROM US, AND I STARTED

2907
01:35:53,362 --> 01:35:55,131
DOING THAT SAME THING.

2908
01:35:55,131 --> 01:35:56,666
I DIDN'T WANT TO BE LIKE MY DAD.

2909
01:35:56,699 --> 01:35:57,834
I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE MY

2910
01:35:57,867 --> 01:35:58,868
MARRIAGE.

2911
01:35:58,901 --> 01:36:00,069
THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT

2912
01:36:00,103 --> 01:36:01,137
THING BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO

2913
01:36:01,170 --> 01:36:03,272
LOSE MY KIDS.

2914
01:36:03,306 --> 01:36:04,474
I KNEW IF I CONTINUE DOWN THAT

2915
01:36:04,507 --> 01:36:13,149
ROAD, I WAS GOING TO END UP

2916
01:36:13,182 --> 01:36:17,653
GETTING SOBER AND GETTING CLEAN

2917
01:36:17,687 --> 01:36:18,588
IS THE TOUGHEST THING I'VE EVER

2918
01:36:18,621 --> 01:36:19,856
DONE.

2919
01:36:19,889 --> 01:36:21,157
HOW DO I EXPLAIN HOW IT IS?

2920
01:36:21,190 --> 01:36:25,862
IT'S LIKE GETTING TORTURED.

2921
01:36:25,895 --> 01:36:28,431
THE INSIDES OF YOUR BODY

2922
01:36:28,464 --> 01:36:32,635
POUNDING, AND YOUR SKIN'S

2923
01:36:32,668 --> 01:36:34,871
CRAWLING, YOU'RE SWEATING

2924
01:36:34,904 --> 01:36:36,105
BECAUSE YOUR HOT, BUT YOU'RE

2925
01:36:36,139 --> 01:36:37,707
ALSO SWEATING BECAUSE YOU'RE

2926
01:36:37,740 --> 01:36:39,809
COLD.

2927
01:36:39,842 --> 01:36:41,477
YOU CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT, YOUR

2928
01:36:41,511 --> 01:36:44,447
BODY'S SHAKING THE WHOLE TIME,

2929
01:36:44,480 --> 01:36:45,815
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY

2930
01:36:45,848 --> 01:36:48,551
INSIDES, YOU'RE OUT OF BREATH

2931
01:36:48,584 --> 01:36:51,587
ALL THE TIME, YOUR HEAD'S

2932
01:36:51,621 --> 01:36:53,523
POUNDING, YOUR BODY'S POUNDING,

2933
01:36:53,556 --> 01:36:55,024
YOU GO INTO THE BATHROOM, YOU'RE

2934
01:36:55,124 --> 01:36:56,359
THROWING UP.

2935
01:36:56,392 --> 01:36:57,760
IT DOESN'T STOP.

2936
01:36:57,794 --> 01:36:59,762
THERE'S NOTHING THAT COMPARES TO

2937
01:36:59,796 --> 01:37:02,065
THE PAIN YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'RE

2938
01:37:02,065 --> 01:37:03,800
GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWAL.

2939
01:37:03,833 --> 01:37:05,768
IT IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST FEELING

2940
01:37:05,802 --> 01:37:07,637
I'VE EVER HAD AND IT SEEMS LIKE

2941
01:37:07,670 --> 01:37:10,239
IT'LL LAST FOREVER.

2942
01:37:10,273 --> 01:37:11,774
I HAD TO GO THROUGH WITHDRAWAL

2943
01:37:11,808 --> 01:37:18,414
FOR FIVE DAYS AND IT WAS LIKE

2944
01:37:18,448 --> 01:37:19,449
DEATH.

2945
01:37:19,482 --> 01:37:20,583
I ACTUALLY WISHED A FEW TIMES I

2946
01:37:20,616 --> 01:37:21,751
WOULD DIE.

2947
01:37:21,784 --> 01:37:23,119
THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS.

2948
01:37:23,152 --> 01:37:24,220
I DON'T EVER WANT TO HAVE THAT

2949
01:37:24,253 --> 01:37:25,788
EXPERIENCE AGAIN.

2950
01:37:25,822 --> 01:37:26,889
I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH

2951
01:37:26,923 --> 01:37:28,357
WITHDRAWAL.

2952
01:37:28,391 --> 01:37:30,793
I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF IT.

2953
01:37:30,827 --> 01:37:31,961
IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO LAST

2954
01:37:31,994 --> 01:37:34,230
AN ETERNITY.

2955
01:37:34,263 --> 01:37:35,364
I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT ANY OTHER

2956
01:37:35,398 --> 01:37:38,267
WAY.

2957

2960
01:37:42,405 --> 01:37:44,607
FRIEND WOULD THINK THE SAME

2961
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:46,876
THING.

2962
01:37:46,909 --> 01:37:50,246
HE'S OVERCOME SO DAMN MUCH, THE

2963
01:37:50,279 --> 01:37:51,514
DEATH OF HIS FATHER, WINNING A

2964
01:37:51,547 --> 01:37:54,617
GOLD MEDAL, ALL THIS STUFF.

2967
01:37:59,255 --> 01:38:01,357
OVERCOME IT.

2968

THE HARD PART WAS YOU START

2971
01:38:10,833 --> 01:38:14,470
THINKING, WHAT IF I -- UP WHEN I

2972
01:38:14,504 --> 01:38:16,072
GET OUT?

2973
01:38:16,072 --> 01:38:18,241
WHAT IF I CAN'T STAY CLEAN?

2974
01:38:18,274 --> 01:38:21,077
WHAT IF I AM A COMPLETE -- UP?

2975
01:38:21,110 --> 01:38:22,078
WHAT IF I JUST GO BACK TO THE

2976
01:38:22,111 --> 01:38:25,081
PILLS AND I START ON IT AGAIN?

2977
01:38:25,081 --> 01:38:26,983
YOU START DOUBTING YOURSELF.

2978

> > SOON AS HE CAME HOME, YOU

2979
01:38:28,584 --> 01:38:29,652
COULD TELL THAT HE WAS LIKE

2980
01:38:29,685 --> 01:38:30,987
THIS.

2981
01:38:31,087 --> 01:38:32,155
HE DIDN'T HOW TO DEAL WITH THE

2982
01:38:32,188 --> 01:38:34,290
BABY CRYING WITHOUT TAKING PILLS

2983
01:38:34,323 --> 01:38:35,725
AND DRINKING.

2984
01:38:35,758 --> 01:38:37,260
HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH

2985
01:38:37,293 --> 01:38:38,895
A NAGGING WIFE WITHOUT TAKING

2986
01:38:38,928 --> 01:38:40,630
PILLS AND DRINKING.

2987
01:38:40,663 --> 01:38:42,165
HE MESSED UP HIS KNEE A YEAR

2988
01:38:42,198 --> 01:38:43,633
AFTER HE GOT OUT OF REHAB.

2989
01:38:43,666 --> 01:38:45,701
I TOLD THEM MANY TIMES, HE'S AN

2990
01:38:45,735 --> 01:38:46,803
ADDICT.

2991
01:38:46,836 --> 01:38:47,904
HE'S NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE

2992
01:38:47,937 --> 01:38:48,905
MEDICATION.

2993
01:38:48,938 --> 01:38:50,173
HE SAID, "WHAT IF HE JUST GAVE

2994
01:38:50,206 --> 01:38:51,107
ME ONE?

2995
01:38:51,140 --> 01:38:52,108
WHAT IF YOU JUST MONITOR IT TO

2996
01:38:52,141 --> 01:38:53,309
ME?"

2997
01:38:53,342 --> 01:38:54,377
I SAID, "NO, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED

2998
01:38:54,410 --> 01:38:55,712
TO TAKE THIS."

2999
01:38:55,745 --> 01:38:56,779
HE SAID, "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO

WORK?"

3003

I SAID, "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO

THE PAIN THAT I HAVE.

3011

SOMETIMES I SAY, "MAN, I COULD

3012
01:39:10,827 --> 01:39:12,361
REALLY USE A COUPLE OF

3013
01:39:12,395 --> 01:39:15,231
PAINKILLERS RIGHT NOW."

3014
01:39:15,264 --> 01:39:17,166
THAT'S THE TRIGGER.

3015
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:18,901
I HAVE CHRONIC NECK PAIN, BACK

3016
01:39:18,935 --> 01:39:20,703
PAIN, KNEE PAIN.

3017
01:39:20,737 --> 01:39:22,205
I DO ALL I CAN TO MAINTAIN MY

3018
01:39:22,238 --> 01:39:24,941
BODY AND IT WORKS PRETTY WELL.

3019
01:39:24,974 --> 01:39:27,410
IT'S NOT A CHOICE, I HAVE TO DO

3020
01:39:27,443 --> 01:39:28,277
IT OR I'M NOT GOING TO FEEL

3021
01:39:28,311 --> 01:39:29,245
RIGHT.

3022
01:39:29,278 --> 01:39:30,480
I CAN'T TAKE DRUGS ANYMORE, SO I

3023
01:39:30,513 --> 01:39:33,549
DO A LOT OF MAINTENANCE

3024
01:39:33,583 --> 01:39:35,518
TRAINING, NECK TRACTION,

3025
01:39:35,551 --> 01:39:37,420
ANTI-GRAVITY DEVICE, STRETCHING,

3026
01:39:37,453 --> 01:39:38,654
YOGA.

3027

3029
01:39:41,791 --> 01:39:42,892
ME HEALTHY.

3030
01:39:42,925 --> 01:39:44,427
AS OPPOSED TO SIX YEARS AGO, I

3031
01:39:44,460 --> 01:39:46,362
WOULD HAVE JUST TAKEN A COUPLE

3032
01:39:46,396 --> 01:39:47,397
OF PILLS AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN

3033
01:39:47,430 --> 01:39:48,231
ALL RIGHT.

HIM

3035

TOGETHER."

3043
01:40:02,278 --> 01:40:03,479
I HAD TO SLOWLY GET HIM INTO

3044
01:40:03,513 --> 01:40:05,248
BEING A HUSBAND AGAIN AND SLOWLY

3045
01:40:05,281 --> 01:40:07,650
