He had actually understood my things: The things I performed in WWE, I did a funny unique, he understood that; however he [] understood all the videos I put online, simply silly videos I was making, which blew me away. Due to the fact that it’s like ‘Why didn’t you inform me earlier?’ I believe he understood precisely what he was getting. He was likewise my 2nd visitor, which was practically the stamp of approval of ‘I endure this individual’s idiocy.'”
On who his real manager at AEW is:“I think my direct manager would be Kevin Sullivan. Not the wrestler, the editor [who] did a lot of things in Impact, did a lot of ‘Attitude Era’ [WWE] things.

I do not wish to resemble [among] those ‘whatever occurs for a factor and blah [individuals],’ however this deserved the wait, I believe, for everyone. It is unusual, both WWE and AEW, I had positions that just appeared to be produced for me. Where they’re like, ‘Here you go. Uh, do whatever you desire. Whatever unusual things you do, knock yourself out.'”
