Our schedule is intense. We do this for five nights a week, so injuries can happen very easily with the demands of the job. It's just the nature of what we do and sports in general.
There are so many role models who I watched and idolised growing up, mainly guys with a similar athletic style to myself. I loved Dynamite Kid, Eddie Guerrero, and Rey Mysterio, as well as Japanese juniors like Jushin Liger, Ultimo Dragon, and Tiger Mask.
It was set to be my first WrestleMania, which is obviously a lifetime goal. To have that taken away from me right on the approach - we were something like three weeks out - was devastating. It certainly changed me as a person, that process.
For the longest time, I still tried to hold up this act - this nice-guy, superhero, role-model persona - that wasn't really me and wasn't serving me.
I loved 'Survivor Series' as a kid. It's one of our biggest pay-per-views, and I would love to be part of that, just for the bucket list!
My career path is the best I could have hoped for, and that's thanks to independent wrestling and territories across the world.
I think I am the underdog.
The Cruiserweight Classic was a fantastic platform for people of my size, people who are similar stylistically to the way that I am, to show the world what we're capable of.
I've got nothing to prove. I've already proven to everybody that I'm untouchable.
You have to consider, I'm a full-time professional wrestler, and Stephen Amell is a celebrity, and yet we still managed to beat two full-time professional wrestlers.
The Red Arrows are the acrobatic division of the Royal Air Force in England.
I remember, as a kid, we would go and watch the Red Arrows, and I thought it was similar to British wrestlers and the acrobatic division.
I had a lot of professional wrestling experience from around the world when I joined the company, but what NXT did was prepare me for WWE television, an environment that was alien to me at that point.
'King of the Cruiserweights' is not just something I say. Let me be straight. I am the king. You can see that. It's undeniable.
I do wrestle a really high-risk and high-flying style.
That's the most important thing is how we reach the WWE Universe and how we inspire people in their life. If I can do that and be given the chance to do it, it's really the best thing we do.
I'm not one of these guys who is going to build myself up to you for an over and put myself over. I do my talking in the ring.
