“My thing is, I always want to see what these guys, are really all about, just like with Ethan Page when he came in. I was like, ‘Man, I want to see…’ I think I said the same thing about him. And he showed me, bam, just like that.

“You know, when the guy… not named …when he came in, he showed me something from the promo side too, you know. I was like, ‘Wow, man. The crowd seems to dig this kid,’ you know.

“So now I’m really, really interested to see exactly what he brings to NXT.”
