They had TV, I have the internet.”

On how fans will see that indie wrestling is alive and well: “I’ll be head banging like nobody’s business on TNT. People are going to see independent wrestling is alive and well. That’s the most important part of this match to me. Indie wrestling is going to rise to the occasion. I’ll be looking for a mic as soon as I walk in the building. My personality, that is how I have a connection with the fans. And I’ve got a lot to say.”
