I'm a really big fan of the history of wrestling.

I am not that big of a fantasy person. I prefer myself to think of living in the real world.

The Hardys have such a huge following.

I was told I have to work 10 years to get a doctorate. Well, I have worked all that time to become a doctor in professional wrestling. So to speak, I have a Ph.D. in professional wrestling.

If the audience likes and appreciates a move, it gives the wrestlers in a ring a little bit of extra energy, and you can always use that.

I'm not just cookie-cutter. You always see something different.

My style is different from everybody else's because I've traveled so much and wrestled in so many places. I took something from everywhere I went, and I think that WWE's most accomplished superstars have also done that in the past.

I was trained to be more technical in Europe because that's the audience. They enjoy a more technical style.

I didn't come over with a comfy sponsor that took care of my visa and paid me a good amount of money right away. I came over here with nothing, the little bit of money that I had saved up, and it was struggle and plight to get some recognition and then finally make it to the WWE.

I just want to do as good as I can. What that is, I don't know.

I care nothing about American football.

You can't just copy someone. There are so many different styles that you can just kind of pick and choose whatever it is you'd like to do.

If I had to name a few, I would say people like Sheamus, Kevin Owens, and John Cena are all great guys to be in the ring with.

I was always a very athletic kid, and I always played as many sports as possible and always tried to do new things.

Being a single has different challenges, and being a tag team has different challenges. I welcome them both.

As long as you work hard, good things will come. I firmly believe that.

I'm extremely competitive, extremely ambitious, and always looking for ways to improve and move up, to do things better.

Wrestling is about evolving, and you always want to evolve and develop yourself.

I don't mind listening to some yodel music. I don't think I'm particularly good at it, but that's the point, I guess.

If you look at the Intercontinental Champion, historically, that has always belonged to the best of the best in-ring talent, the best wrestler, whatever you want to call it, that came out night after night, produced night after night - and that will be me.

When I started, I learned the European style because that's what I wrestled the most.

I can beat anybody on any given day, and I don't compromise.

I'm the first one to always criticize myself, and I'm trying to find ways to get better.

To me, I don't like to look back; I just like to look forward.
