Luckily, I'm only aware of about two or three concussions that I have had, but there's really no way of telling how many overall.
-
That's really important to me - creating moments that last forever.
-
When I was a kid, I wrestled my high school amateur wrestling in junior year.
-
I really hate my hair when it's not braided because it's so big when it dries. When it's wet, it looks cool, but when it dries, it gets all in my mouth during a match, and I hate it.
-
I find inspiration for my works of art in my studio and in the squared circle from all sorts of places.
-
For special wrestlers, there's somewhere else to go - as long as you're not brainwashed by that WWE mentality. There's other worlds out there; it's OK to switch around.
-
I never view myself as a leader.
-
Any time it's a Swanton, I'm confident. But if I feel I can't do it, I won't do it.
-
When I wrestled Randy Orton, that was probably the biggest match of my career at that point, because that was when I had the other shot at the WWE championship.
-
You can't go wrong with reading the fans and letting them tell you who they like. I think that's really paid off for me in the long run - being down to earth and just really cool with each and every fan that I meet - and they've really supported me through thick and thin.
-
Being myself is what got me to where I am.
-
I'll do anything. That has proven problematic - you may remember my broken leg in a dirt bike accident - but that is also the ingredient that has allowed me to elevate myself in pro wrestling.
-
I got the dragon on my leg when I was still living with my dad. He's not a fan of tattoos, so I had to get it behind his back; he kind of freaked out when he saw it.
-
TNA is great about going out of their way to interact with the fans.
-
People ask me how I am so fearless on a ladder and how I have no fear in the ring. And the answer to that question is a bit complicated. I used to have no fear, but that is no longer true. With a wife and two girls at home, I'm more afraid now than ever.
-
I would love to get into acting. I really enjoy acting - portraying other personalities and approaching different levels and whatnot - that would be awesome.
-
I compliment people when I see something I really like and tell them, 'That was good. Keep doing what you're doing.' That's as much as advice as you will get out of me.
-
I just want to go out there and have the best matches I possibly can.
-
It's good to establish moves that fans are always going to recognize and scream for.
-
I was obsessed with it, and then I learned more about professional wrestling and how the beauty that does exist in it is truly an art form.
-
My brother Matt and I, we have a great relationship.
-
I look at tattoos as a commitment to life.
-
Just spending time with fans and acting normal and talking to them just like I was one of their boys, that's what it's all about.
-
I've got my hardcore fans, and I thank them so much for being there for me and not giving up on me.
