On returning to Buffalo this Friday night for a TNA Wrestling live event:
"We are doing so many fresh new things. We will rock the house this
Friday night. The fan interaction is amazing. You would never
experience this over there (WWE). It's how I've been my whole career.
The fans come first and I always take time to communicate with the fans.
At our shows the fan interaction is so cool and so beyond anything
else in pro wrestling. You get so close to your favorite stars."
On returning to TNA following the "Victory Road 2011" PPV incident:
"I honesty think and feel I'm at the top of my game. I've been through
the hard times and dark times. Now being a father I'm so inspired with
music, painting and wrestling. Once you see me that is a moment that
you will never forget. I'm having the best matches in my life and
wrestling the smartest ever. I'm in love with life again."
Why he enjoys the TNA working schedule: "It's huge for the
quality of life. Every now and then, the human body needs that week
off. At least at TNA when you have six or seven straight days off.
Your body needs that. I'm extremely proud of TNA and we are doing a lot
of shows that aren't televised. We are working our asses off to get
things done. For the quality of life, it is a huge difference to be in
TNA."
If he has anything left to accomplish in TNA or pro wrestling:
"Nothing - there is nothing more I want to do. I've done everything
I've dreamed up. It would be nice to become TNA Champion and end the
selfish generation. Man, I can't complain. I have a great life and
have a beautiful family. I love TNA and what we are doing. If I never
won the title again, I'm fine. I just want to keep my health and avoid
any kind of surgeries."
On Impact Wrestling going live in the summer on Spike TV:
"It's a huge step for TNA and Impact Wrestling. I couldn't be more
happier. I love the fact that if you make a mistake it will be
witnessed by everyone who watches that night. I used to be on a show on
Monday night that was live and was always excited about it as well.
There is no editing involved. It's a huge step and (we will) take it
week by week."
