Like me personally, I'm not a huge football guy, but I do watch the Super Bowl every year, and I get into it because it's exciting.
I grew up watching guys - like, I loved Mick Foley's ECW promos; I loved CM Punk's promos. There's this guy, Eddie Kingston. He was just a fantastic talker, so I used to study and watch him. I mean, gosh, there's just such a big list of guys who I used to study. I used to watch promos as much as I did matches.
I'm really, really close with Kevin Owens. We talk practically every day. He was a guy who really, really helped me, both in Ring Of Honor and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.

I feel like I'm an inside guy, I feel like I'm a three-tech or nose tackle.
I'm a 6'4' guy who can run every route. I can get in and out of breaks like a 5'10' guy.
When the game is on the line, I want to be the go-to guy. I feel like that separates the good from the great receivers.
Everybody knows what type of guy I am. I'm not going to fake anything.
I've never been the type of guy to be somebody I'm not.
