WWE.com: When did you know you were destined to become a WWE Superfan?

PRINCE AMUKAMARA: When I was younger in Arizona, I played in a lot of Parks and Recreation leagues, and a friend just introduced me to WWE ­— I just fell in loveThe Rock gives the People's Eyebrow with it. My favorite guys were Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Triple H, who I happened to meet just a couple of weeks ago. I loved the swagger Stone Cold and The Rock had. Stone Cold always had that cocky attitude. And I loved The Rock’s catchphrases and the People’s Eyebrow. I can do the People’s Eyebrow.

WWE.com: Did you ever want to be a WWE Superstar?

D-Generation XWWE.com: Which of your Giants teammates would be your first choice as tag team partner?

AMUKAMARA: Ahmad Bradshaw. Just because Ahmad will fight you to the death and he’d always have my back. He won’t give up.

WWE.com: Last question: cut your best WWE-style promo on the New England Patriots for this Sunday…

Yes, in Indianapolis, in Lucas Oil Stadium, the Giants and the Patriots. We’re gonna get physical. And it’s gonna be a bloodbath. Now, can I get a “Hell yeah!?”
