Tommaso Ciampa

“I was training at Killer Kowalski's old place, and at that time it was the Chaotic Training Center but now it is the New England Training Academy, but we were kind of the feeding ground. Anytime WWE was in the northeast area that is who they would call. They would call them for extra talent.”

“I have the best physique in all of WWE; this is not by accident.”

“I don't think it's any secret anymore that I have a family away from the business.”

“Thomas Penmanship is my Dude Love. When I become very successful in WWE as Tommaso Ciampa, one day I'm going to pull out Tommy Penmanship and suddenly develop a split personality.”

“I was my high school football team's captain, not because I was the guy who scored the most touchdowns, but the guy who was in the midst of every play.”

“I'd never want a fan who is completely invested to feel like I dismissed his thoughts or how they feel.”

“I try as much as possible to take a moment every so often, pause, and enjoy the journey.”

“I am writing my own legacy, and I am carrying NXT along for the ride.”

“I've never been comfortable on the top rope or launched myself into dives.”

“There's more anticipation, there's more forgiveness once you prove yourself to the fans.”

“I don't know if people say ratings don't matter... they sure as Hell matter. Like, you want to win.”

“I'm in Ring of Honor about four years. I was cast as The Sicilian Psychopath there and right from the start one thing that felt weird where I got signed after a tryout because Jim Cornette saw me and 'Delirious' Hunter Johnston and they really liked my promo. The match was fine, but they really liked my promo.”

“Maybe I'm young, but I still have an old school feel to me.”
