“It was a really good experience. And I think it’s going to be pretty cool. I think our audience is going to love it. I think their audience is going to love it. So it was a cool crossover to be able to kind of jump into some totally different skin and try a new thing out for me. I’m not comfortable. Look, I’m 38. I’ve only been doing wrestling for 20 years, only nonstop. That’s it. I worked in crappy restaurants and a carwash when I was in my early 20s, and that’s it. Other than that, all I’ve done is wrestling. So anytime I get outside of my comfort zone, I’m nervous. Like I suck at this. I’m like, I don’t know what I’m doing. But I was in good hands. And it was a really, really fun experience. And I’m excited to see how it turns out, and hopefully, everybody doesn’t hate me. I don’t want to have ruined everybody’s vision of this character. So I’m doing my best. I hope people enjoy it.”
