With social media now, everybody's faceless, but I assume these kids sending me pictures of myself of Instagram are twelve, thirteen years old.
The Shield had run its course as a three-man group, and we'll go down in history as one of the greatest factions of all time.
If you asked me whose spot do I want, I'd say I want John Cena's spot, so to beat him at WrestleMania would be a feather in my cap, for sure.
I don't see myself in the ring as a high flyer or brawler or technical guy, but I feel I can do everything, work with everybody, and bring out the best in different people.
Summerslam was a huge part of my childhood.
Getting to share the ring with guys I idolized is never going to stop being surreal for me.
I'm well-versed on the mat, but I can pick up people much bigger than me.
Philadelphia is kind of like a Mecca for professional wrestling, especially the old ECW Arena down in South Philly. That's the place I always wanted to wrestle growing up, and I got that opportunity when I worked with Ring of Honor.
There's always room to mend broken hearts, I suppose.
I spent a few years cutting my teeth in the Midwest; I worked for Ring of Honor, then I went down to Florida and relearned everything there.
I think everyone respects Rock. He's obviously been in our industry his entire life in some form or fashion. He's a guy that works really hard, and most of our performers can appreciate that one way or another, whether it's in the movie industry or our industry.
Belichick's actually great. I wouldn't mind being the New England Patriots. They seem to win a lot. Four-game suspension here and there doesn't hurt nobody.
The Pedigree was something that I feel very fortunate to have it as a finisher.
I didn't have any pedigree or any last name that would get me an opportunity to get looked at by WWE.
When I get home off a long week, I go to the gym, have a great workout, and then I go home and order a giant taco pizza with a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
If you're not learning, then you're stagnant. If you're stagnant, then you're not evolving and the business isn't progressing.
I'm a huge proponent of eating real food and eating a lot if it.
There's definitely pieces of Samoa Joe in the Seth Rollins repertoire, so it's cool he's part of the company now - something you thought you'd never see.
The Shield was only around for what? Two years? And we did a lot in two years. I think the fact that people even take those two years and put them up against the reputations of those other groups really says a lot about what we were able to accomplish in that short period of time.
As good as that first year in Ring of Honor was, the second year was really, really bad for me. In retrospect, it was great for me, but at the time, it was a tough situation to be in. I didn't have anyone around to mentor me where I needed to be.
