“I was never going to become Road Warrior Animal.”

“I do a lot of yoga, it keeps you flexible and you recover from injury quickly and I try to keep my heart rate up the entire time.”

“If they would have introduced me as someone who is basically The Undertaker's boss, it would have fell flat. I'm 200 pounds and I'm 5'10", so it certainly would have been difficult to take me seriously as someone who is intimidating The Undertaker.”

“I don't really feel like I'm doing comedy, per say. I play off of guys a certain way but I don't really do a lot of comedy in the ring.”

“Fans that are excited and involved in the action can add an atmosphere that makes wrestling in front of them a great experience.”

“There are times when you'll be up in the spotlight at the very top of the show, and you get put back down in the mix because the company is trying to keep everybody fresh and interested, and one guy can't be stuck at the top of the card forever.”

“When we started with Ring of Honor, when we started with TNA, there was a very similar mindset that we were building something, that we were doing something good.”

“As long as we concentrate on putting out great wrestling, I feel like that's going to benefit us.”

“Ring of Honor has always been about the best wrestling in the world, and by adding the New Japan talent into the game, it's really upped everyone's game.”

“If I wasn't addicted to the idea of performing, I think retiring out of the ring and moving to a backstage position or becoming more of an office guy. That wouldn't bother me so much.”

“I think the best wrestlers in the world are the ones who grow up watching it and have a love for it before they learn it's a business. You can tell the difference between the guys who grow up watching wrestling versus the guys who get into it as an opportunity to make a living.”

“It's cool to see wrestling fans that are also comic book creators sort of put their fandom on the page, and then take that fandom and put it on the screen.”

“And the truth of the matter is sometimes it's hard to be different from the WWE when you're trying to gain those same viewers. Sometimes there's a tendency to sort of follow in the footsteps of the WWE.”

“I still, to this day, get people talking about Curry Man; for a character that hasn't wrestled, technically, since 2008. So, it's cool to think that that part of my career is still respected and enjoyed and it's awesome.”

“I've felt that A.J. Styles has always proven that he's a great in-ring competitor and on the television show.”

“Once that bell rings, all I can do is perform at the best of my abilities and at the top of my game.”

“What I do I try different things ahead of time, I don't get stuck in one rut and I don't do the same workout for more than a month at at time.”

“When the WWE does well, professional wrestling does well. The WWE is what most people know as professional wrestling.”

“Barring wacky nonsense, I'm going to end my career in a Ring of Honor ring. And that to me is fine. It's poetic justice.”

“TNA had a video game that I was in. I actually did mo-cap for that game as well.”
