He was never a mean bastard. In fact they showed him tape of pronger stomping people, smashing their heads into the glass and straight up assaulting dudes. He wasn't down for that, he just wanted to make plays and skate like a regular sized dude. Of course there were times when people got in his face/way and he swatted them but he never went out of his way to impose his strength/size, what a thing of beauty it could have been.
