00:00While you were off fighting your demons, I was winning NCAA championships.

00:06While you were recovering at it, I was on my way to becoming the youngest WWE champion in history.

00:15You want to talk about addiction, listen.

00:18You want to go down that road, Brato Loco.

00:21Through all those three years, not only did I wind up losing my job, I lost my wife.

00:28I lost my kids.

00:34And I lost myself.

00:38But you know what, Brock?

00:39I came to a point where it was do or die, huh?

00:42I had to make a decision.

00:46Do or die.

00:49And you know what I said?

00:50I did.

00:51Because I'm here right now.

00:55Day by day.

00:56By the grace of God, I have earned my way back into this ring, man.

01:07Day by day.

01:08By the grace of God, I have earned the respect of my kids again.

01:14Day by day.

01:16I have earned my life back.

01:19And see, Holmes.

01:20When I stand across you, and I see that across your waist, you know what that symbolizes for me, you see?

01:30That symbolizes for me, I'm sorry.

01:35That's my way of telling my family, I'm sorry.

01:42That's my way of telling my kids, I'm going to provide a better way of life for them.

01:49I'm going to get the vibes that they wanted.

01:51I'm going to give them a better education.

01:54That's my new addiction, Holmes.

02:02See, when I step into this ring, yeah, bro, I am addicted.

02:06I'm addicted to the high that I get from them.

02:13I'm addicted to the satisfaction that I get to tell everybody like you that didn't believe in me,

02:22you can stick it up your ass.

02:24Because you know as well as I do, Holmes, oh, what a high it is when we're in here, brother.

02:36See, but the difference between me and you, bro, is that I'm an addict,

02:41and I'll do anything and run over anybody that it's going to take to get that around my waist

02:48and get my high and no way out and become the WWE champion for Alevato.
