“The pressure performing is something you have to get used to, really really quick.”

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.

The big difference that I notice, and this is what all love as New York city and Philadelphia has treated me fantastically, but man, you cannot screw up in Philadelphia and New York.

You’re constantly growing and you’re constantly progressing and changing up you’re style and gauging an audience to make sure that audience is enjoying what you’re doing.

I’ve wrestled Kyle O’Reilly all over the world. I know how good he is, our fans know how good he is. A lot of people feel he is the next guy in line to be world champion.

We’re more than ready to deliver. When the pressure is on, I think that’s when the Ring of Honor roster does the best.

It has everybody all jacked up, ready to do the best we can like we always do.

So if everything goes off great, then it being a triple threat match will make it even more exciting instead of a singles match.

The cool thing is, when we first did our joint Ring Of Honour-New Japanies Wrestlers, I think that definitely existed. I think the ROH guys were like, “we can’t let these New Japan guys outshine us”

I’m very aware that pro wrestling fans can be some of the most vocal and passionate and descriptive about how they feel when it comes to pro wrestling.

I think too, Jay Lethal being apart of Ring of Honor and being in that role where he’s one of the guys who has the company on his back, he’s taking that very seriously, and you can see it n his work. So it’s been really cool to see.

More and more people are interested in jumping on the Ring Of Honour train. I definitely think the success will continue.

I think that’s the coolest thing about our fans, they not only respect, but they demand, excellence from our guys.

Performing, for me, has always been a very inner process.

I was really unhappy. I had a great job that I should have loved, yet I was miserable. I slowly realized that was because I wasn’t performing. So I just tried stand-up and fell in love with it after one performance.

When I dance I am really meditating rather then performing for an audience.

Basically you’re performing for these tabloid outlets and the paparazzi.

Outside, in the streets, the Communist state was busy performing such experiments for real.

I remember once having to stop performing when I thought an elderly man a few rows back from the front was actually going to die because he was laughing so hard.

I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don’t think it’s a better way or the way, but it’s my way.

I like radio and live performing stuff. I don’t like the television stuff as much.
