00:00I know wrestling was just something I'd always been interested in and something I'd never
00:17really lost interest in.
00:19I just gave it a shot, took an opportunity, took a chance, left my job, everything, came
00:23over to the States and here I am sitting down in the chair over here in Dubai for a couple
00:29of days.
00:30It's the greatest job in the world.
00:35To me, WWE is all about the fight, there's a huge entertainment aspect there but if you
00:41watch me going in there with my opponents, to me everything that happens in there is
00:45real.
00:46A lot of the guys don't like getting in the ring with me because they know it's going
00:49to be a very snug, very physical match.
00:55Fit Finlay is a huge role model for me and someone I've always admired, especially coming
01:00from Ireland.
01:02He graciously allowed me to use his white noise finisher and I call it the Finlay roll
01:07where I have the guy on my shoulders like a rolling senton.
01:12I call it the Finlay roll because I took it off him and he gave it to me.
01:23I don't know, I haven't got my lightsaber yet, I'm still waiting on the post for that,
01:27I'll see.
01:28If a package arrives at the door with a big box with a Darth Vader helmet and a lightsaber
01:34then I know I'm playing Darth Vader.
01:36Until then, it's all hearsay.
01:42You might go deaf for life if I start singing to be honest.
01:45I sing in the shower sometimes maybe if I'm in a good mood but no, I sang in a choir years
01:49ago, yeah.
01:51I sang in a choir and it was interesting and fun, you know what I mean?
01:59But I want to be out, I honestly want to be out playing football.
02:02Everyone asks me what's your favourite moment in the WB, what's the greatest moment you've
02:10had and it's hard for me to say that because there's so many different moments I've experienced
02:17that have different meaning for me.
02:20Winning the WB Championship against John Cena in 2009 when he had shocked the world.
02:25Gone against Triple H at WrestleMania 26 which was against him, somebody I loved watching,
02:31I was a huge fan of, I watched him progress from Hunter Harris Helmsley into the game,
02:36Triple H. Taking him on at WrestleMania, my first WrestleMania at 26 in Phoenix, Arizona,
02:41that was incredible.
02:42Winning the Royal Rumble, becoming King of the Ring, there's so many, winning the World
02:49Heavyweight Championship in 18 seconds against Daniel Bryan, there's so many different moments.
02:55I'll tell you this though, I'm looking for a big moment soon, it's been a while since
02:59I had something that I really, really enjoyed, you know what I mean?
03:03Coming back from my injury was a big one too, it was my first serious injury that was at
03:07the Royal Rumble this year but I'm looking for something big, I'm hoping WrestleMania,
03:11I'm hoping it's going to bring that but it's been a great couple of years and it's very
03:18hard to pick one.
03:21Fiercest competitor for right now, my fiercest competitor is definitely Cesaro.
03:28The Rock, probably one of the most charismatic, one word, okay, sorry, I forgot.
03:35The Rock, charismatic.
03:38Undertaker, intense.
03:41Vince McMahon, leader.
03:44Stephanie McMahon, future.
03:47Triple H, the game.
03:52John Cena, workaholic.
03:55Mick Foley, legend.
03:57Steve Austin, icon.
04:04Shawn Michaels, greatest ever.
04:08Bret Hart, my favourite.
04:12Bray Wyatt, there's a lot of people, I don't even have words to say for these guys.
04:19Bray Wyatt, creepy.
04:21Cesaro, swinger.
04:29My top five wrestlers of all time.
04:34Macho Man Randy Savage, the first guy I took, captivated my imagination.
04:38I'm going to say, I'm going to use the Hart Foundation as one, two as a group because
04:45they were around the same time, the Hart Foundation, especially with Bret Hart, I love watching
04:50them as well, they're fantastic.
04:53Ultimate Warrior, another huge fan of his.
04:57Stone Cold Steve Austin, definitely.
05:00I'll have to say Triple H, I've been a big fan of his too.
05:06For Triple H, it's always been just watching him go, the change of character, the evolution
05:14of his character.
05:15Same with Stone Cold Steve Austin too.
05:17But watching him go from this blue blood, nonchalant, very arrogant, aristocrat type
05:25superstar to one of the hardest hitting, one of the toughest brawlers in the WWE was a
05:30great transformation.
05:31Same with Bret Hart too, I watch Bret Hart transform as well from the Hart Foundation
05:36into the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.
