“I think this is a nice big glimpse of who he is because he is very charismatic. There is a side of him that I see outside of the ring that nobody sees.

You want to get behind him. Shoot, I want to get behind him and just have him stand on his own. But which way he goes is all up to him and how he makes that.”
