On Brody King’s Success In AEW:

“That is the one thing that I said to him. This was not a done up and walk away kind of thing. It was a very thorough conversation between me, Nate [Brody], and Buddy. They were in agreement; we felt that we were hitting a wall constantly. I said to him, ‘I think once I go one direction, you will eventually see a big explosion in regards to how you are being perceived.”

On Telling Tony Khan About King:

“I am glad that we see that now because the whole reason why I initially told Tony [Khan] about Brody was because I already saw that. I knew how good he could be. I had to tone him down a little bit initially because he is a big human being. I would say, ‘I would like for you to be more effective. One elbow from you equals dude on the ground and not getting back up.’ He picked up on that tremendously. He is a good dude. I have a lot of love for him. We fight like brothers, and I am very happy for him.”
