The person I&#8217;ve been able to put on the screen is the person I believe in. It&#8217;s the truest form of me, you know, elevated. At NXT, it was very much a runaround. &#8216;You need a character. Okay, well that&#8217;s too much character. You have to be the real you, but the real you isn&#8217;t believable&#8217;.

I think I&#8217;m good enough. And if IMPACT believes I&#8217;m good enough, and if Ring of Honor believed I&#8217;m good enough, if Japan thought I was good enough, I&#8217;m good enough!
