The following are the highlights transcript courtesy of Colin Tessier of Wrestle Zone.
Had the best career in TNA
I really had a better career in TNA than in WWE. I hate to admit it because WWE was the great company of the moment, but my situation improved when I got out of there. I had only been in the business for six and a half years when I came to TNA, and Then I reached the peak of my career. I had matches against Samoa Joe Sting AJ Styles, Bobby Roode, all these guys. I had a great career there.
Although I love WWE, I had a better time in TNA. The most surprising thing about this is that a part of me wishes I had stayed in WWE during those years because they had more keen eyes on their product. A lot of people missed a big part of my career.
At TNA he took too many risks
I climbed my level TNA, started more crazy things to do, like throw from the stage or make moonsaults from the top rope, and took many risks. I gave him a beating on my body. N or started to slow down until 2014 or 2015. So, I started to hold back a bit and do more confident and basic movements, much more basic than I used to do before.
