I'm one of those guys who says to himself, 'Well, people say you're over, but you're not as over as you think.'

Every day is a struggle.

My mom and dad are just happy that I'm doing something that's not illegal. My brother is just happy I found something that I'm passionate about. I didn't see the future. They did. They saw a future for me in anything I wanted to do.

Back in the day, we used to accept the flaws and move on and not work on them. Now that we accept who we are, we work on them.

I guess you could say I'm an old-school street guy.

The old way, we never told a booker or a promoter anything. We didn't tell them when we were hurt. We'd be there with a broken ankle and still going to work, tape it up and go because we were scared of losing a job or a spot.

Some people believe other people don't deserve to be in AEW, other people do believe they deserve to be in AEW, so when you have a bunch of men and women who don't know how to use their words, things are going to happen in the back.

I'm doing me at the end of the day.

I love 'Game of Thrones.' Even though I hated the way the last two seasons ended, like many of the fandom, but I do love the 'GOT' world and stuff like the lore.

I don't really get to go out a lot because when I'm home from the road, I am home. I do not want to move from my couch.

It took years for me to realize that I have a good support system around me. Because a lot of times I would shut it out that I had good people around me because I was at that point where I didn't see any hope. So I just didn't care or want to know that people cared or I had a good support system.

There are times when I'm still struggling. It's hard, but I know for a fact everyone has that strength to fight through it.

We make the normal. And it's not weak to struggle. People who think that are wrong.

We need to get the word 'normal' out of our vocabulary.

We make our own normal. No one is us; no one feels what we feel.

I'm a loyal guy.

Not everyone is going to like each other.

I'm like a dog, man, when it comes to loyalty. That's it.

I'm learning more different ways to deal with things. You know what I mean? So, I gotta be selfish and help myself first before I can even talk to anybody. I learned that a long time ago.

I'm just trying to be better every day.
