And I just didn’t think I was that guy. I didn’t think I fit in. And on the main roster it was so terrible. I was fired several times. I am going to come and talk to you about it,” he joked in his interview.Notsam wrestling“They just stuck with me and stuck with me.”

“And really, you know, getting the opportunity to go to NXT and work with Vic kind of made me realize who I really am as an analyst, as a commentator, but more as a hype than anything else. Because Vic, he does a lot of work and I just try to support him and it’s been a great team between me and him,” the veteran star added.
