“Yeah, I think (so), because he’s ‘The Baddy’, I’m ‘The Goody.’ That’s the theme for this camp. I’m the good guy, not the bad guy.”

“It doesn’t sound really good for me, setting-wise. I’ve been talking in all these interviews how, ‘I can’t wait to be the good guy because people generally like me,’ and they’re like, ‘We’re gonna give him the most toxic environment we could possibly put him in.’
“I’m excited. I’m used to going into people’s home towns and beating up their cousins and putting on a show.”
