ancestry. He has stated that The Ultimate Warrior and Shawn Michaels were two of his favorite wrestlers while growing up. When asked what it was like wrestling Michaels, Mordetzky replied, "It was a dream come true. That's something I'll take with me to my grave. He was my childhood idol, I idolize the guy, and I still trip out that I got to wrestle him on a pay-per-view. How many people get to do that? How many people get to wrestle their idol?" Mordetzky claims that the biggest misconception that most people have about him is that he's just a bodybuilder. John Cena went on record to say that Chris Masters is the strongest competitor he has faced in his career. Though Masters never defeated Cena in the ring, Masters defeated Cena in an arm-wrestling match. Masters put Cena out in the Master Lock hold on three separate non-match occasions. Masters is one of only two competitors (the other being Rusev) to bring John Cena to unconsciousness once, let alone three times as he did. Mordetzky is good friends with WWE wrestlers Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, along with WWE alumni John Morrison, Carlito, Chavo Guerrero Jr., and Rob Van Dam. Mordetzky has appeared on both Van Dam's radio show RVD-Radio and internet-based reality television show RVD-TV. The Wrestling Observer reported that Vince McMahon only re-hired Masters in 2009 at the recommendation of Randy Orton. A tweet posted to his Twitter profile in March 2013 stated that Mordetzky saved his mother's life from a criminal who had committed arson at her home. It was reported that he had pulled a tree from the ground with his bare hands and used it to open a path to his mother's windows, freeing her.
