On his career so far in TNA
Quote
I am frustrated. Im conscious of the dreaded potential word. Its a horrible thing to be labelled with. You have no idea how many times Ive been told: One day, you will be world champion, or: Youre the future, you have so much potential!
Circumstances were difficult with the Nigel(Wolfe) thing. I know that Vince(Russo) was really disappointed that it couldnt happen because we had such great chemistry. There were big plans. Sh*t happens.
The political side of wrestling

If someones a big fan of yours of course youre going to think theyre making the right decisions. I cant sit here and go: I hate Eric B. I like him. Its business. He has his opinion and its down to me to make it change.
I dont think there are many people in the world who are as young as me and have the same experience as me.I might be frustrated, but Im developing a foundation and Ive always been a big believer in that. My career idols are Stone Cold, HHH and Jericho.I was always going to be someone who honed their craft. I believe I can find that act that will draw money.
Working with Samoa Joe

I was really pleased to be put with Joe. Who wouldnt be? He is one of the top 10 wrestlers in the world today. I love Joes work. He is solid, athletic and intense. Ive always wanted to do a serious programme with him, and I think the contrast would really work.
His experience working with Ring Ka King

It feels very special to be in on the ground floor and to be in such a good spot. Jeff Jarrett and the team behind it have faith in me as a top guy, and I have delivered.
