Someone asked what would be the worst superpower and he said it would be knowing everyone's thoughts.
Piece of advice given to him early in his career that he shares with any young star who asks is to show up early and leave late. That way it shows you're committed to what you're doing and when an opportunity arises you will be there for it.
He joked that he told his brother in AEW but he's still riding his coat tails with his gimmick.
He opens for Mick Foley on comedy gigs currently.
The Night after Mania 29 cash in was a career highlight and said that the decision was made only a few hours before it happened. He was sitting in gorilla with the briefcase unsolicited for the Cena/Rock main event in case Vince wanted him to cash in and that gave Vince the idea to do it on Raw the next night.
He was asked who his future opponents would be on the independents if he chooses to work some dates and he challenges Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona) to a Street Fight anywhere. anytime.

He was asked what move was stiffest to take and mentioned the Brogue Kick from Sheamus and the Spear from Goldberg.
His unique selling abilities came from watching MMA knockout videos on Youtube.
If he could be another wrestler he would wrestle himself so he could see how he would take his own moves.
He would like to take 6 months to a year off after living out of a suitcase for 19 years. Unless Ryder wants to fight him.
He got into stand up comedy out of fear of doing a set and was curious to see if he could do it and he stuck with it. He mentioned doing a bit in the back of a Chinese restaurant in front of 3 people who spoke very little English when he started.
Favorite travel partners were Kane, Edge and Christian.
He joked about Sting debuting in WWE and mentioned that all day he was joking about how it would be cool if it happened one day and then when it did he was just as shocked as everybody watching.
He would wrestle 1997 Shawn Michaels as his dream opponent.
He was asked if ever said no to a creative idea and he said that he tried to make everything he was given work but would make changes to it as much as he could and those were the biggest ongoing fights he had rather than saying no outright to something.
