On "Survival of the Fittest" and thoughts on previous victory: Im excited to take part in SOTF again this year, I was able to win it last year and in turn, i was able to go on to win the word title. Its a big event for ROH and its a completely different type of event than you will see anywhere. Everybody involved in this years tournament has a legit chance to win. There is a nice mix of guys who have been there before and guys who are trying to take the next step in their career so its going to be a very interesting tournament. Winning last year was obviously a huge moment in my career. Like i said, after winning the tournament i was able to go on to win the world title. It was what gave me the opportunity to win the ROH World Title."

On Chikara's "High Noon" and wanting to hold the new title: Chikara is a great company. Its something completely different for the fans and the events are always a good time. I have always heard great things about the company and from what I saw I knew I wanted to be a part of one of their events at some point so when I got the chance, I jumped. I'm up for facing anybody in the company as there are a lot of guys that I have never faced so I think it would be a great opportunity for some fresh new matchups. As far as the Grand Championship, if I am able to work my way to a title shot, its something I would love to hold."

On training with Killer Kowalski: I really enjoyed my time training at Kowalski's. He was such a great man, he was there each and every class, the first there when you walked in the room. At the time when I joined, he was not as active in the ring due to his age and health but he was more than vocal outside the ring (laughs). At the time Wagner Brown was the head trainer and he helped me out more than I can say. I also did some traveling north to NH to train with Steve Bradley, one of the greatest minds I have been around. He taught so many guys in my area the important little things that so many people overlook. I was also lucky enough to be able to travel to Japan and live and train in the pro wrestling NOAH dojo. It was an amazing experience. Its something I will cherish for the rest of my life."
