26 Years ago today, I had the greatest singles match of my career with @brethitmanhart. I’ll always be grateful to you Bret.🙏 #wwe #raw
Can’t wait to start doing my show again after a 6 month hiatus. Studio is almost finished. #xpac12360 #wwe #prowrestling #dx #nwo #wwehalloffame
I never knew what a great workout you can get using resistance bands until the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 compelled me to find out. YouTube has a lot of videos on the subject. A pull up bar, resistance bands, & an ab wheel have really come in handy this past month.
Happy Easter everyone. This is @nativetatanka , Mike Chioda, Owen, & Myself from The Church of The Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem on Easter Sunday 1994. I saw @nativetatanka has posted alot of great pictures from that trip.
One of the coolest things about my life is becoming friends with so many of my childhood heroes. Joe Laurinaitis aka: Road Warrior Animal was one of those people. In my lifetime, I’m not sure if anyone comes close to having the impact & influence Joe & Mike had on our industry. Just about every pro wrestler that painted their face was copying the Road Warriors. There were a few exceptions, such as Adrian Street, but I cant think of any others right now. I could go on listing all the great things about those guys & Joe in particular, but it’s all stuff everyone had heard or read before. So I’ll just share a cherished memory of mine that Joe was a huge part of. In ’94, after I’d already started with WWE & was about to get married to the mother of my children, some of the guys that made up that legendary MN pro wrestling crew of the 80s decided to throw me a bachelor party. It was Brad Rheingans, Curt Hennig, Barry Darsow, Wayne Bloom & Mike Enos, The Road Warriors & a few other friends. We had the party in Brad’s dojo where he trained his students. It was perfect. No strip clubs, where there was 50% chance someone would end up in jail. Just me & a bunch of people I grew up idolizing & ended up becoming friends with…no big deal!😊 I remember laying on my stomach on Brad’s Olympic wrestling mat, trying to roll a joint & out of nowhere Hawk dropped a stiff elbow on me, which ended my futile attempt at joint rolling. My next memory of that night was Joe breaking out a bag of magic mushrooms & it wasnt long until we were laughing harder than Joe or I had laughed before or since. He told me that when he was on my show, so I’m not telling stories out of school here. Anytime you were around Curt Hennig, you were having the time of your life & laughing your ass off. Now imagine adding shrooms to the mix. That night is in the top 3 list of the greatest times I’ve ever had in my life & Joe was a huge part of that. Later I was honored to stand across the ring from those 2 legends. You always hear stories about what a great guy Hawk was. I’m here to tell you, same goes for Joe. All this to say, I’m heartbroken by his passing. Goodbye Joe🙏😔 #RIPAnimal #WWE #prowrestling
Howard was having a blast helping me shave Jeff Jarrett’s head after our Hair vs Hair Match from SummerSlam ’98. Instead of announcing the match, he was a DX member that night. With respect to everyone else that followed in his footsteps, when it comes to WWE ring announcers, The Fink is The GOAT🐐! Love you Howard.🙏 #riphowardfinkel
This is Keven Undergaro @undergaro . He’s one of THE BEST friends I’ve ever had. If anyone could & should take credit for the major improvements I’ve made in my life over the past 4 years, it’s Keven. I love this man with all my heart. Please help me wish him a #HappyBirthday today.
Trying to bring a sense of normalcy to things this Halloween by carving pumpkins. Something I dont normally do. #halloween #wwe #dogslife #dogsofinsta

(Take 2) Lula is embarrassed about how good my beard looks jutting out from under my mask. #style #wrestling #wrestlinglife
This pic is of “Slick” Mick Karch interviewing “Wild” Bill Irwin & I before a match that looks like it’s in someone’s back yard, but was actually at River Place in Minneapolis, sometime around 1990.
Here are a few pics of my new studio. @undergaro & @stephenlemieuxphoto were here all day & half the night building this for me. I sprayed glue on the back of soundproof foam panels, so technically I helped.

If it wasnt for Joe Pedicino, most of you wouldn’t even know I exist. He gave me my first big break & I’m forever grateful to him. GWF on ESPN 5 days a week, provided a springboard for so many us & we all owe him a debt of gratitude. Sending my love to his Boni, their family & loved ones. #RIPJoePedicino
Lula had surgery today. I’ve already posted about it on Twitter, but I think a lot of ppl on here don’t do Twitter anymore. Anyways, she had tumors removed & now she’s home resting. She’s an old girl, so I was a little worried. That cone doesn’t seem to bother her. Maybe she’s still too f—ed up to care yet. #dogs #dogstagram

Every day I walk Lula here at Americana at Brand in Glendale. We love it here. #dogs #wwe
Here I am at Lake Shrine Meditation Gardens in Palisades. This is the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial containing some of his ashes. This is a great place to visit. One of the chillest places anywhere on the planet.
There is no justification for what the world saw happen to George Floyd. Too many people I love & care about are hurting for me to stay silent. With the Ahmaud Arbery & Breonna Taylor killings so fresh on their minds, this is just the most recent straw that broke the camel’s back.
