When I was a kid in the business, you always had in the back of your head this feeling that if I screw up, I might be fired. So you went out every night and tore your rear end up to make sure that you gave the best performance you can and learning constantly because you never had that idea of 'I'm so great, I'm never going to be fired.'

To me, the NWA is a thing of the past.

I've said it before that I am not and haven't been throughout my career a huge supporter of women's wrestling, and I haven't paid that much attention to it.

I had suffered a multitude of injuries, as most guys in the business do. Most of them came at the end of my career.

When you get a little knockback in your career, it gives you something to strive for.

I can't complain about my career, that's for sure.

The driving factor for me is having DC as one company together ourselves. Our ability to work more collaboratively with the whole studio is certainly a benefit.

Something I can't stress enough is the massive importance of work experience. It's the only way to find out what work is really like when you're figuring out what path to take and to get an understanding of what it takes to achieve your career ambitions.
