I'm completely fine with my career. I feel like I accomplished everything I ever set out to accomplish.

I think the knock TNA had is they seemed to worry too much about what WWE was doing instead of focusing on their own.

People seem to want to know stuff that's going to happen before it happens sometimes instead of just enjoying it and following the ride and just seeing where it takes you.

It's hard to shock people, especially when people want to know, like, spoilers and stuff like that.

The cool thing about WWE is it's like entertainment boot camp. You're performing in front of a live audience, a different audience every night. You're doing promos in the ring. You're doing talking segments in the back. You're wrestling. You're performing. It's everything all rolled into one.

WWE definitely gives you the forum, the stage to do different things and see what works. That's the cool thing about being in front of a live audience every single week in WWE. You get instant feedback.

Growing up, we were pretty much focused on becoming WWE superstars.

With Edge and Christian, we were like 'Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure,' the Bill & Ted of WWE. We were kind of goofy, kind of funny, humorous, but then when we had to be serious in the ring, we would get serious.

Me, personally, I thrive under pressure.

WWE is live. There is no second take.

With WWE, you're live every single week. You're in an arena, and there can be anywhere from 12,000 to 20,000 people watching you perform.

I've always liked being on the performance end of it. I've come up with different ideas, but as far as being a creative writer, I'm not sure about that. I've always liked the performance end of it and wrestling, getting in the ring in front of a live crowd.

Having a long career with real lasting power has always been a goal.

When I started in WWE, I was a 24-year-old kid and it was all kind of a whirlwind. I never had the chance to step back and look at it from the outside and assess things from a different level.

All three teams will always be linked. If you think of the Dudleys, you think of Edge and Christian and The Hardy Boyz, and vice versa with all those other teams.

I mean, you can't just stop WWE. It is an entertainment company. It puts on a live show every week and prides itself for being out there and working.

Yeah, it's also a huge jump for NXT to come off the WWE Network and come onto cable television. That's huge.

For sure, competition is healthy. It is! It keeps everybody on their toes. It keeps everybody sharp.

I think I would have liked to have experienced the whole NXT thing.

No matter how tired you get, when you get in that ring and hear that crowd road, everything will go away.

To be recognized as one of the best, you need to win that WWE title or the World Heavyweight Championship.

I think the free agent process is a little bit different because other major pro sports like the NBA or NHL, you're looking at 30 teams. You have 30 options. You don't really have that in this industry. There is one name that stands above all else, and that's WWE. So to really be on top, that's where you have to apply your trade.

Obviously, there's nothing like being in front of a live crowd. That's what makes a wrestling show - getting that instant feedback and taking them on an emotional journey through what you're doing in a ring. Nothing will ever replicate that.

I'm out there every night working my butt off trying to do what I do, and that is entertain every single person that paid their hard earned money for a ticket. So I think people realize that and I think over time, I feel like that's grown, definitely.
