I was always taught that the only difference between a hero and a coward was how you responded to your fear, pain, loss, etc.

NONE of us have any control over the circumstances that life hands us. We ALL, however, have control over how we respond to those circumstances. How you respond determines whether you are a MAN or a punk....Period.

And one other thing...although Charles Sr. can be a pretty hard-boiled egg, I personally think he is a class act. Fight to the death, and then win/lose with dignity would be his motto. Be hardest on yourself would be another.

I have seen him severely chastise TOHK parents and wrestlers for bad behavior, and I seriously doubt he taught Jr. to act that way.
