On his substance abuse issues during the pandemic: “I fell on hard times with substance abuse. So I ended up going to a rehab center out here in Lancaster for alcohol. And when I got out, I spoke to my now-business partner, who is also the owner of the rehab I went to, and we decided to open [Three Legacies Wrestling].”

On learning about how people pick up wrestling in WWE: “I learned a lot … when I was in WWE. Even though the basic fundamentals were very similar in style, everybody had a different approach on how to teach something. And then I got to learn from them the concept that everybody learns differently, at different speeds and through different methods.”

On teaching at Great Khali’s school in India: “There’s a lot of methods that he would try to teach the guys that I did not agree with because obviously he was not in the ring. But I could never take away the level of stardom that that man has in India. ”
