Wrestler

I love my job. I love waking up in the morning and doing this, and I want to continue making a living doing it.

I'm sure there are people wearing Bullet Club shirts who don't even know what it is. It's one of those kind of things, but that's good.

My life did a 180 when I joined Bullet Club. Joining Bullet Club opened the door to New Japan for me. It made me more valuable.

I have not held a singles title in New Japan or Ring of Honor, whether that's the TV title or the world title or something else.

My number one goal has always been to try to tell interesting, cohesive, long-term stories.

I moved back home after graduating from Virginia Tech. And that's when reality hit. I knew I had to do something. I guess it doesn't click when you're that young. I was 19 and had finished college. I got home and had to figure out what I was going to do.

I had an interest in film, but I didn't want to go to Hollywood and make movies.

We'd like to put an end to SoCal Uncensored, but I really want to spend more time with Bury the Drug Free Bear. I think he's going to be really big.

That first year I was in Ring of Honor, maybe it wasn't even a year, I was wearing the trucker hat thing and wearing John Deere stuff because I felt like part of what made me different from a lot of guys was that I was kind of a good ol' boy and a southern type of guy.

I've been honestly sitting in the living room every day doing little DIY projects. Painting and making stuff and all that stuff. That's been kind of cool. I got to find out I apparently have a passion for that.

It wasn't until I had a platform and an opportunity like 'Being the Elite' to show people that I'm a real human being. Show people I have a personality. I think that's helped more than anything in my career.

I like to think I've always been a good wrestler.

I got into circuses and put on circuses in the backyard. My dad had horses and he'd bring them and we'd do horse tricks. I was 6 or 7 years old putting on circuses for the family or whoever in the backyard.

Being in the Bullet Club is definitely a huge opportunity and guarantees more eyes on my work.

I was a high school teacher when I joined Bullet Club and started going to Japan.

I had a cousin who dated someone in CWF, so I was traveling to shows by age 10 or 11. I got to work with them later after I started wrestling, and it was awesome.

Bullet Club has been huge. It's something that's transcended wrestling a little bit.

When you're a chill, laid back guy, you maybe have more pent-up frustration, anger, bitterness, than maybe somebody a little wilder would have.

Part of what I've tried to do since I became 'Hangman' is try to give back to the world because I know I can make people feel a little more uncomfortable than maybe most wrestlers do.
