Gunther
Retiring John Cena
I think it's the biggest thing I've done in my career. Like the first time I was ever part of something with that magnitude where I could really feel like it affects everybody.
Political aspirations
I do have it on my wish list of things I'll look at. I'll look at Inoki and see if I can do that. I think you're going to be the Senator of Georgia.
In-ring philosophy
I need my wrestling to be real. And that was one where I thought, oof, there it was. And there is something to it, because sometimes you're in there with guys where they don't really, come on, let's go. And you just whack them real good one time, then the match gets better.
Career goals
I'm not a person where I have that in me to be wanting to be the guy that is at the very mountaintop and everybody looks up to him. I want to be at the top but in a different role and contribute that way.
Wrestling background
I wasn't a big WWE guy when I wrestled myself. I was always a big nerd for Japanese wrestling and indie wrestling.
Character development
I try to avoid everything that has to do with a flag or something. I got rid of it as soon as I could because it just doesn't do anything. It's not 1990 anymore. And I think today it's about the person.
Sports Entertainment vs. Pro Wrestling
I'm the only pro wrestler here. I'm just joking.
Fan interaction
I never do it [chop fans]. Because I am a professional and they are not.
Ludwig Kaiser's potential
I think he's underratedly charismatic and he's a really good talker. I always tell him, you need to go to Hollywood at some point, because he's very good with it. I think he would have been an amazing theater actor.
Dream WarGames team
I would take Kaiser, I would take Ilia, I would take Kenta Kobashi, and I would take Fit Finlay.
