Personal Life
Tuft is married to Priscilla Tuft; they have one daughter, Mia. He is good friends with fellow wrestler Curt Hawkins.
On January 14, 2010, Tuft was involved in an incident on an airplane in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Minutes before takeoff, he complained to the flight crew that he observed strange movement on the flaps of the wings, and caused panic among other passengers by claiming that the plane was unsafe. He demanded to be de-boarded, and stated that "if anyone else on the plane doesn't want to die then they should get off the plane too". The pilot decided not to take any chances with him disrupting the flight or distressing the passengers, so they returned to the terminal and escorted him off the plane. The flight was then delayed, which annoyed many WWE employees.
After his retirement from wrestling, Tuft announced in November 2012 that he would be undergoing a digital marketing initiative called "Local Promoter 2.0.", which is designed to give independent wrestling promoters, MMA promoters, and general fight promoters more information to work with to specifically target potential customers.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The terrible thing is that one cannot be a Communist and not let oneself in for the shameful act of recantation. One cannot be a Communist and preserve an iota of one’s personal integrity.”
—Milovan Djilas (b. 1911)
“Surely among a rich man’s flowering lawns,
Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
Life overflows without ambitious pains;
And rains down life until the basin spills,
And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
As though to choose whatever shape it wills....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
