And bury myself, and get the babyface [to] move out of the way, and then I could actually hurt myself so the babyface could [take control of the match]. And then I realized I was doing it in the same place every time. And I was like, \u2018Man, I think I could do it!\u2019 And then I got one guy, I said, \u2018Man, you think you would take it for me?\u2019 He was like, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ll take it.\u2019 And I pulled it off perfectly the first time I did it \u2026 that\u2019s how some stuff like that happens.
