“I mean, my inner child that collected those magazines and discovered pro wrestlers by reading those lists,” he said (per Fightful). “I didn’t know who Akuta Hadaka was when I picked up my first PWI magazine, but I was like, ‘This guy’s ranked pretty high, I’m gonna check him out.’ Then I check him out, this guy’s amazing, you know what I mean?”

Alexander continued, “I discovered so many wrestlers just by reading those lists over the years and now for me to number nine, I know that there’s fans out there that are going to read through this list and they might not know who I am. They might not tune into IMPACT Wrestling, but now they might tune in just to see what I’m about and they’ll see what everybody else on the roster is about. I think we’ve been all knocking it out of the park as a locker room, so I think it’s a great way to get recognition on not just myself, but the company as a whole.”
