Wrestler

For me, the obvious examples of tag teams I was a big fan of, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. I would watch them and be blown away by how incredible they were.

I want to take that top spot in WWE, and I'm gunning for number one.

You can't just be the same character forever. You've got to add some layers, show some personality.

There are superstars that deserve to be at the top and do give everything.

I want to inspire people and show people no matter what happens, no matter how much you get knocked down, you can pick yourself up. Just keep pushing forward, keep being positive.

I went through ups and downs in this business and in life, and when I was released by WWE in 2014, I knew I had a wealth of knowledge and an opportunity.

Everything I do has a purpose for my goal, which is to create a buzz.

NXT is the top roster in the world as far as I'm concerned, the work ethic and fans.

I will never say anything negative about WWE.

It was very clear I wasn't giving my all in the past - not even close.

I wanted to look in the mirror and be accountable to only one person. The only person is me, and that's the only thing that drives me. The only person I'm in competition with is myself.

I'm still the biggest wrestling fan there is; I'm the biggest mark in the land. I just took it further and started doing it!

I've experienced the highest of highs and been in every single position, and that has taught me so much.

On the road to WrestleMania, this is where everyone's giving 110 percent.

I was a big Hart Foundation guy as a kid. Bret was my favorite wrestler. I loved their dynamic.

When Vince McMahon said I was going to be a future world champion, he didn't say when.

Johnny Gargano is someone I've known for years - we've been EVOLVE Tag Team Champions together; we've wrestled each other many times over the years.

Partying isn't as important to me anymore like it was when I was younger.

I was in FCW for about six months. It was roundabout 2009; a lot of guys started to retire, and they didn't have guys coming in from other companies to replace them.

The first ever VHS I ever owned, my brother and I, was WrestleMania VII. We watched that thing to bits - I think the tape chewed itself up.
