Being consistently featured on Impact Wrestling TV dating back to March: I say this because it’s true, but it’s right place, right time for me. I was picked to enter a storyline with Trey Miguel versus Sami Callihan and I guess I showed them something and they kept bringing me back and bringing me back and I ain’t leaving. I’m not leaving. Like the guy says from Wolf of Wall Street, ‘I’m not leaving!’ But yeah, I guess it’s just the right place, right time and then taking that opportunity and really just rolling and doing the best I can with it. I mean yeah, there’s a lot of pressure and a lot of stress, worry about, ‘Well, what if this isn’t great? What if that isn’t?’ I mean all I can do is my best and at the end of the day, I believe that my best will be good enough so, yeah.
“To be honest, I have no idea [who was responsible for bringing me to Impact Wrestling]. I just got an email, got a phone call from Trey and then I got an email from creative and backstage and they brought me in, and then I kept getting emails and emails and emails and it’s great. It’s [a] great time. I love it there. Impact Wrestling is so amazing. It’s so incredible. Everybody in that locker room is so talented and we could be — I truthfully think that anybody and everybody could be a world champion in that locker room. I think that’s how deep all our roster is.”
On how he balances school and pro wrestling: Oh, it is a lot to juggle up in the air [being a student and a wrestler], but I think I’ve done a really good job managing my time, [getting] my homework done while I’m on the road, but also, being able to compete in the ring [on] the weekends. I think the best thing though for me with managing my time through school and wrestling is just having a great support system behind me, always encouraging me when I feel overwhelmed and stressed. They’re there to like kick my booty in gear, as you would say.”
