When I graduated high school, I was 150 pounds. When I first started wrestling, with the independents in California, every company is going to have guys, or in better shape. While I had gotten bigger, I was still only about 205, so I wasn't huge.

To me, the X Division has been the core of Impact, and my all-time dream match is AJ Styles, and he was one of the pioneers of the X Division.

I felt like I looked like a star from the get-go and worked pretty well. I feel like even when I was in developmental with WWE they never saw me as a star, so I would always have to put everyone over.

Based on paper, because of my size, a lot of promoters and hole-in-the-wall indies will book me against the local big guy.

If you don't want to be number one, then I don't know what you are striving for.

When I started out, I wasn't a big guy either. I got into bodybuilding just by working out, and starting a fascination with it.

Like AEW, it kind of feels like they're treating you like a professional athlete, and Lucha Underground is like a lot of TV production stuff. It felt like they treated you like a professional actor. The treatment was just above that for a wrestler.

I told everyone through high school and junior High I guarantee by time 24, I'll be signed with WWE, and that's exactly what happened. I didn't go on to main even WrestleMania obviously, but the whole WWE accomplishment was checked off, and I got to experience that and it's cool.

Even though I accomplished the whole WWE thing, which I feel like was everybody's dream when you were growing up, but it wasn't until I got to Lucha Underground that I felt how I thought I'd feel at 10 years old to be a pro wrestler.

You're not going to be selling a lot of merchandise if you are losing all your matches.
