We get comments from Apollo Crews, who will be facing Finn Balor in two weeks.

He says it takes guts to follow your dream. You can fall flat and fail and he is afraid of failing. Even though you dreamt it, it just doesn’t feel real when you get there. It is hard to explain his family. He is a first generation American. His father came to the United States in 1983 and he lived all over the place. He moved to Atlanta and then lived in Kenya and Uganda. He was living in Uganda while his sister lived in Atlanta with his mother. He would spend the summer in Atlanta and then go home.

He started watching wrestling with his father and he became addicted to it. He felt that they were reaching out to him. These people were larger than life. He was a fan of the Ultimate Warrior and he talked about Warrior’s energy. He says that he would ask for the replica title belts but money was tight when he was with his mom.

He says that his mom is a great woman. He mentions that they struggled growing up, but she is a great woman.

In tenth grade, he decided that he wanted to become a wrestler. He says that for him it was all WWE, but then he learned about the indies. He talked about driving all day for very little money. He was not going to be stopped doing this. He says that he does not want people to tell him that he was wrong to try. If you have a dream and you want to chase it, you can accomplish it. He came to NXT to be the best.
