"You came in a few times out of breath, and I'd bust your b***s, 'Dude, you were just throwing the ball with the dog, why are you so out of breath?' Or going up the stairs to play with the kids, Why are you out of breath? Not thinking it was an actual heart issue. So medicines didn't work, and we ended up in the On a Friday," The WWE Hall of Famer revealed.
