I THINK HE'S A HERO AND INSPIRATION TO MYSELF AND
ANYBODY IN THE W.W.E.
( APPLAUSE ) THANK YOU, A COUPLE OF ROCK FANS
HERE TONIGHT.
HE CERTAINLY HAS BLAZED THE TRAIL FOR ALL OF US.
HE ALWAYS COMES BACK AND CONTINUES TO PERFORM YEAR AFTER
YEAR IN THE W.W.E. AND HAS REALLY SET THE PRECEDENT THAT
WE'RE ALL NOT JUST W.W.
SUPERSTARS.
WE'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
WE CAN SIT IN A CHAIR AND BANTER BACK AND FORTH WITH THE
ULTRAWITTY STEPHEN COLBERT.
>> Stephen: DID HE START YOU ACTING?
IS HE THE REASON YOU STARTED ACTING?
>> HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF MY STUFF?
( LAUGHTER ) THIS HAS ALL BEEN KIND OF A SOFT
OPEN TO MY START IN ACTING.
I'M GOING TO START A FEW YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
IT'S NOT EXACTLY ACTING WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW.
I'M TRYING MY BEST.
I'M SWIMMING WITH THE FLOATIES ON.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A COMMERCIAL BREAK WILL YOU STICK
