I don't believe him by the way, but he knew him well enough to be asked to be in his band.
It's far too late to speculate, but I seriously can't help it to say an opinion in a place like this.

I would say that if it were not for the early days, when he was meeting musicians like David Peel and a couple of the MC5, opening the Underground Music Scene door to him, he possibly would have been a Wrestler - the days of being a professional Circus Freak being long gone for the most part. He used the audience like a challenger in Wrestling, fed off of their goading and criticism as well as the audience's worship (sadly, there were those who did...). The early days fed his Rock and Roll interests, sparking him into going that route. Sadly, he decided to become his infamy instead of using it as just an act.
