On wrestling in Japan: “Going to Japan was always my dream for so long. That was one of my biggest goals in wrestling. I’m such a fan of the people there, the culture, the food… The fans are so nice. I didn’t think anybody would know who I was but then fans were coming to me like, please sign this! I was like, this is awesome.”

On getting his start in ROH: “I’m luckier than most people as I was bought up in a very good system. I never experience that terrible, s–tty indy phase cause I was born and raised in the Ring of Honor system.”

On how he discovered wrestling: “My dad was a fan so I would just watch it with him here and there. Eventually I was watching it all the time.”

On his first ROH match: “My first Ring of Honor match was in Chicago, and it was me and Roddy versus Red Dragon for the Tag belts, and it was accidently announced as a tag title match.”

On working with Delirious: “He’s great. He’s always there when I need him for advice and he’s there to help me in any way possible. He’s been a big mentor to me, a big friend. I wouldn’t have anything that I have right now without him helping me out. I owe all of my success to him.”

On Chris Jericho saying he was his favorite wrestler: “He had seen my name around before and one he day he caught my match on a ring of Honor show and tweeted out that his favorite wrestler was Cheeseburger.”

On his feelings regarding fans: “I feel like I have an obligation to the fans. It’s not too much for me to take a few seconds to sign something for them or take a picture.”
