I remember, one teacher in Year 11 asked the class what everyone wanted to do when they grow up, and I said, 'I want to be a professional wrestler.' The teacher laughed and said to be serious. ”

Dropping 25 pounds was something I was unsure about. It seemed like a pointless adventure, in a way. ”

Calling yourself the 'Best Kept Secret' is a die on your own sword. ”

Sometimes I stop, take a step back, and realise how good I've got it. ”

I started watching wrestling when I was eight, and I only watched the WWE as a kid. ”

Obviously, it's very exciting to be able to wrestle in my hometown. ”

I always watched '205 Live' on the sidelines. It's more my style: I like the quick and innovative moves. I just thought the brand was going to thrive, and I wanted to be a part of it. ”

Being the first Australian to ever actually hold a WWE promoted championship - it is a huge honour. It's something that can never be taken away. Words can't describe it. ”

One of my favorite things about traveling is experimenting with different workouts in different gyms. If I can't get to a Gold's Gym, and I'm stuck in a small hotel gym, and it's only got a medicine ball and a treadmill, how am I going to make sure I get a decent workout from this environment? I love that challenge. ”

It's always been one of those dreams, to make it to the WWE. ”
