Strowman said, “I got to a point where I felt like I was a number in the system. I needed to address this. I went in and I talked to Vince; we sat down and literally had a father/son conversation. He gave me this sense of reassurance and a sense of wealth that I thought I didn’t have. That was just, like, wow.”
