Wrestler

I'm lanky and goofy.

For me, the wins and losses in pro wrestling never mattered. The thing that matters is the time on television to tell that story. If you have a two-segment match on television, whether you win or lose, both people's brands win with a great match.

Big risk means big reward. I want that.

In this world, I feel like we all need to be nicer to each other.

Some people work their entire lives to become a professional fighter and see certain guys with exposure or just a name, hop into the professional ranks. It can rub people the wrong way and have them very doubtful of your skills because they see first-hand the hard work and how many years it takes to master this.

A lot of great fighters were amateur wrestlers first and you can study them on film to see how they adapted the techniques.

Let's come together, let the people stop fighting each other, but let them fight in the octagon.

Yes, pro wrestling is damaging on your body. It hurts.

I want to grow my brand and help wrestling continue to grow, too.

We The People' is public domain, any American can use that.

All Elite Wrestling completely changes the entire landscape of pro wrestling.

If you go back and look at WWE Magazine, they asked me when I was going to win my first world championship and I told them WrestleMania XXVI, so I was only a couple days off.

If you speak pro wrestling or MMA, you almost speak any language.

People want to see fighters who can put on a little show and then back it up. Hopefully I can do both of those things.

I have a lot of experience with the lights on bright - a lot of people watching and performing on live television.

I feel like being a professional wrestling has definitely made me a better MMA fighter.

In addition to being gifted athletically and being the strongest guy in the room, Cesaro is very smart upstairs. He can go in the back and wrestle a match out in his head, then he'll add his Cesaro-isms in the ring to really make the match special. He knows exactly where to put things and make a match explosive.

As far as the work in the ring, it's so much technique and spacing and timing, and that's what amateur wrestling is, too. So I felt like I learned very fast and a lot of things came naturally for me.

Kofi Kingston has always been one of my favorite opponents to wrestle. He and I started back in McDonough, Georgia in 2006 in developmental at Deep South together. So, our careers have come along at the same time. He's incredible.

Really, my family is my strength and I realize that and I am leaning on it.
