On challenging on the anniversary of his brother’s title win: “Amen. [I] Said it to, my wife and my friends about man, God’s booking this sh**, man. It’s crazy just how, like, hw much of it’s so much of a coincidence that it just don’t seem like a coincidence, like it’s crazy man 11 years to the day and no one could have could have predicted or planned that.”
On challenging Eddie Kingston in Philadelphia: “It’s something, you know what I mean? It couldn’t be any more ideal as far as the opponent, it’s Eddie Kingston. being a guy from the Northeast Indies and who’s well known, respected, loved in Philly. Then the city, we’re in Philly….me and my brother, we started in Wilmington, Delaware, which is pretty much a suburb of Philly, it’s the outskirts of Philly. So we pretty much started in Philly and Ring of Honor was born in Philly. Even before we started wrestling, the first show we ever went to was Summerslam in Philly and then we used to go to the ECW Arena and that’s where we really fell in love with wrestling and that was in South Philly so we have more history with Philly than any other city. That makes it really cool so you know, we have the perfect opponent, we have the perfect location and it just so happens to be 11 years to the day that my brother won the Ring of Honor World title. It just all lines up, man. It’s crazy. Like I said, God’s booking this sh**.”
On everyone who supported him over the years: “Hey, I just want to tell everybody that we love you and we appreciate you. Pro wrestling is one of the most beautiful things on Earth. Let’s use it for something that brings us all together, not that breaks us apart and makes us fight. Man, all wrestling is good. I don’t care. We talking about AEW, WWE, New Japan, CMLL, AAA. Anywhere, everywhere, man, wrestling is good. Wrestling is something that we all love. Let’s let it bring us together. Let’s quit all this dumb fighting about, Oh, this company’s better. That company’s better. Man, come on, man. Get out of here. Yes competitive. That’s good. A good competitive spirit, competitive attitude. But once y’all get, get slinging hate. Quit slinging hate, man. Quit slinging hate. It ain’t that big a damn deal. Okay, you think this guy’s better, they think that guy’s better. You think this league is better, they think that league is better. It ain’t that big a damn deal, man. Yeah, competition is cool. But, go on somewhere else with the hate. Love all y’all. Appreciate y’all. Come on the Supercard of Honor. Promise you knock down, drag out dog fight. Let’s go baby.”
