“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”

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.

He’s unreal. He’s amazing in the ring. It doesn’t matter who he’s wresting. He’s unreal on the microphone.

I’m so glad you brought that up Jay Lethal as a performer has grown into, I’ll say this even though I’m wrestling him this Friday, he’s one of my favorite wrestlers in the game right now.

Los Angles to me seems to be a little bit more forgiving. They’re just as rowdy and they’re just as excited but they understand a [botch] happens sometimes, and they’re excited to see the show and they just want to have some fun.

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

But now Jay Lethal has turned himself into this very formidable, dominant world champion, who is having some of the best matches in the entire world. So it’s really cool.

Not only the main event, the entire roster feels the pressure and are ready to deliver.

I’m with and saying “oh man, I really didn’t like that movie.” But I’ve never acted or directed in my life. But I’m able to voice my opinion about whether or not I enjoyed it or not.

Being put in this situation, where it’s myself, Kyle O’Reilly and a Jay Lethal, I think it’s the best main event you can have right now in Ring of Honor.

You need a wisecracking buddy standing next to you? That’s the role for me. You got the guys who are knock-down, drag-out handsome. That’s what people want to see. Let that guy be the hero. But there’s always a role for the Everyman.

But Buddy was an upper. He was happy. He loved music, and he was really happy. I don’t know…

The rock and roll spirit. I learned a lot of that because I worked with Buddy Holly. I played bass with him, and he taught me a lot about that.

Mainly what I learned from Buddy… was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn’t have any barriers to it.

I was very young then. Buddy taught me so much in such a short time.

I was alive, and Buddy and those boys were dead, and I didn’t know how, but somehow I’d caused it.

I have come up at the end of a dive, and the boat was not where I left it. I had to take care of a buddy who did panic. But I was confident the boat would come back.
