“When I was 19 or 20 years old, I wasn't making a living wrestling. I needed a full-time income.”

“When I was a little kid, WWF was all I had access to. After a year or two when I found the indies and could watch wrestling live, it was just as big a deal to me as WWF.”

“The Bullet Club is fine, man. We've got a lot more to focus on than the problems that we may or may not have with each other. When you have so many guys together that are so talented, you're going to butt heads.”

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

“It's been pretty wild, but the teaching schedule is a pretty awesome fit for wrestling. No weekends, all summer, and plenty of sick time.”

“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.”

“When I left teaching, I don't think anyone I worked with necessarily understood what I did or the level at which I did it but I think they all do now. I think its Bullet Club stuff and what we're doing now in wrestling is, honestly, such a big part of pop culture that it's kind of hard to avoid, even if you don't follow wrestling.”

“As a wrestler, sometimes I'm fortunate with some free time.”

“All In' is not my baby, it's my brother or my cousin. We sold out a 10,000 seat arena in less than 30 minutes, and that, to me, says a lot about the health of wrestling outside of the machine.”

“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.”

“I found out I was joining Bullet Club and going to New Japan and had probably two or three weeks to get ready for that.”

“Around Christmas time, I passed by a Hot Topic at the mall. They had the Christmas decorations up in the front of the store with AC/DC and Metallica, Harry Potter, Star Wars and Bullet Club. So, we are certainly a part of pop culture.”

“When I signed with Ring of Honor, looking back now, I don't think I deserved it.”

“For the past, I guess, three years or so when I joined Bullet Club and as a member of The Elite, I was honestly kind of in the shadow of all of my friends.”

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

“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.”

“Well if it's outside of New Japan or Ring of Honor, I'm just worried about tacos, mostly. You gotta go corn tortilla, a little steak, a little cilantro, a little onion, and maybe a little salsa. No cheese or sour cream and all that crap.”

“I feel like everything in my life has somehow just fallen into perfect place at the perfect time. I don't know how it happened. It's always like right at the point of my life about to fall apart, and then something amazing happens. I don't know how, but it happens.”

“That always catches you by surprise, you know, the amount of inspiration, should you choose to, that you can give to people.”

“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.”
