SC: I have no hard feelings towards WWE. I don’t. I always wanted to main event WrestleMania, not even main event Wrestlemania, just be a part of WWE. Now I’ve had that chance. I was in developmental for two and a half years and before I got there I had quite a bit of buzz. When I got there things just were what they were. I got dealt a weird hand. It just didn’t click. It wasn’t my time. I do believe that everything happens for a reason. I decided to ask myself for an early release because I wanted to go out and prove to the world again who I truly am. There’s a reason I am the 5’8″, crazy little white kid with crazy hair. That’s because I truly am one of the best professional wrestlers walking this planet today. It doesn’t matter which person I am with I am going to have the best match. I will sell the most merch. I am the complete package and that’s my goal. This is my life. This is what I love. This is freedom to make art and do what we want. To make a living and make a life out of it. It’s not about taking ridiculous bumps and high risks. It’s about telling the true story and truly believing what is happening. When you do that it just makes something special. When pro wrestling is good it’s f*cking great. There’s nothing in the world like it. When professional wrestling is bad it’s really bad. That’s the thing, everyone has their own opinion because professional wrestling is flavors of ice cream. I might like chocolate but you might like strawberry. That’s what’s amazing about the art form. That we get to choose and I really do think that my generation of guys. All of the guys I knew in NXT. All of the guys on the indies right now. Lucha Underground, Impact… my generation of guys are changing the professional wrestling business for the better. I do feel like we are right on the grasp of the next true professional wrestling boom.
