During a recent interview with TalkSport, Apollo Crews commented on his recent success, owing it all to Paul Heyman, and more. You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On if he credits Paul Heyman with his recent success: “100 percent. Paul Heyman is fantastic to work for. He’s been very hands-on with me and he’s helped me a lot, especially a lot in areas like my promos. And that’s one thing I feel like I can always improve on. I can improve on all areas of my game and make sure I work on becoming the complete superstar. And I won’t stop until that happens. I feel like human beings in general, we never see ourselves as perfect, but we always strive for perfection. I feel like just the fact that you strive for perfection, never feeling like you’ve reached it is what keeps you going. It’s cool for me to go out there and work with Aleister Black because I don’t remember the last time anyone has seen me in the ring for that amount of time, not even in NXT I don’t think I was in the ring that long. It was awesome. The funny thing about that is I was driving my kids around earlier that day trying to get them to fall asleep in the car and I get the call if I could be the Performance Center to have that match. And I was like ‘yeah, not a problem.’ For me, I was like I’ll drop everything I’m doing right now because that’s just who I am. I do what I’m asked – as long as it fits my morals – and I don’t see it any other way. It worked out very well for me and I’m very proud of the decision I made.”

On his WWE career prior to this year: “That’s what I felt like too. It felt like I was doing a lot of floating around. I did stuff here and there but nothing I could ever really dig my teeth into or show what I’m really capable of. I was given opportunities, but I don’t feel like I was ever given anything I could, or even the fans could latch onto. There’s no reason for them to really like me. Its like ‘Oh yeah, here’s this cool guy. This big guy who can do cool moves and cool stuff in the ring, but why do we want to like this guy,’ you know what I mean? But now I feel like I’m in a situation where I can show how I would react in a certain situation and show I do have more than a smile or cool moves in the ring. So, it’s a great opportunity I’m taking full advantage of.”

On Kurt Angle’s retirement tour: “Yes, I believe that’s how it was [Kurt Angle picking his opponents]. He was my favourite. I can say he was probably the reason I started chasing this dream of becoming a WWE superstar. Then finding out he was a big fan of mine, my mind was blown. It was pretty cool just being able to talk to him, but wrestling him was a whole different level. And being the first to wrestle him on his retirement tour in his hometown, I mean it was fantastic. It was cool. And he’s such a good human being. Such a nice guy, great to work with. He’s easy to approach; if I have a question or anything, I can text, call him, talk to him in person or whatever and he’s always going to take the time out to give you advice or talk to you about whatever that issue. He told me to keep fighting, stick with it and he’s one of the guys that also wanted to see me to do really well. So that’s enough reason right there to go out and fight for everything I want.”
