“There’s a big difference between trolling and just attacking guys to attack guys, to get under people’s skin, and to genuinely express how you felt about something.”

However, the positive, and I mean this, Jay Lethal and Kyle O’Reilly are two of my favorite opponents. I couldn’t ask for two guys I’d rather be in a triple threat match with.

You can always create something that’s different because there’s more than two people in the ring.

I think most importantly the reason we’ve been on the upswing is Ring of Honor has been very smart about the speed of its growth.

That’s like the really fun, exciting thing about wrestling. There’s no such thing as perfecting this art.

ROH is not a company that says ok we’re going to throw all this money in and let’s just go for it. ROH has the business approach of slow but steady.

. You gotta know what you like and what you do’t like and that’s fine.

The ROH guys looking at the New Japan guys coming over, we’re just psyched. We think, “oh great this is just going to make our show even better.”

My all-time favorite match that I’ve ever had was against Kyle O’Reilly in 2012, the ‘hybrid fighting rules match’ where we were bleeding buckets all over the place. And it was really a match that took my career to the next level.

They are definitely pros and cons to triple threat matches. The cons to them is obviously coming up wth something very original and making sure everything makes sense.

Like if I go to a movie for example, and I watch a movie, and I wasn’t a fan of it. I don’t mind turning to my family or some buddies

I don’t necessarily notice too much of a change in the sense of the kind of matches that I have in say a Los Angeles as opposed to a New York City.

the new japan guys were ready to make a statement as it was this really big event in America. But the cool thing about this relationship is we’ve literally become a family now.

The only difference with wrestling is we’re like a live performance. So we’re feeding off the audience and if they do’t like something, they can let us know immediately.

Jay Lethal doing that Black Machsimo character, as good as that was, it was fantastic and so entertaining.

We slowly work on getting more markets. We slowly work on building relationships. And over time once we gain people’s trust and they see what we do and they see what we deliver each and every show

A lot of us are friends with each. We obviously respect each other.
