In the '90s, there was a big wrestling boom in Switzerland with Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and all those guys. It was on television in Switzerland on a German TV station for a year or so. That's when I saw wrestling for the first time. I was in the fifth or sixth grade and was a fan of it right away.

I think every person that brings a beach ball into a WWE arena should get ejected for life.

I always bring a post-workout protein shake with me and some cereal for the mornings.

Rugby and wrestling are sports for real athletes.

We pretty much have barnburners with every team. There's always new teams, there's always great teams, and you always want to be in the ring with the best.

The Royal Rumble is very difficult because, obviously, there are 30 people, and there are many superstars in it.

There's always a transition if you go to a new territory or a new company or a new country or wherever because there's different styles and different crowds that you perform in front of. Of course, it always takes a little bit of time to find your groove.

I'm sick of seeing John Cena against Randy Orton for the 500th time.

I was lucky enough to have many different tag partners.

To me, the Cesaro Section is the WWE Universe, and I really appreciate all the support.

I made a little name for myself in Europe, but when I moved to the United States, I had to start all over again.

I think I have faced pretty much everyone that is in the WWE.

Hard work doesn't guarantee success, but it does enhance its chances.

I grew up with WWE and New Japan, but when I started traveling to Germany, I had the chance to train with people like Christian Eckstein and Tony St. Clair. They were two of the cornerstones of the German 'beer tent' wrestling era, when they'd have 30-day tournaments in the same town.

There's definitely some stuff that I wear or used to wear, or I used to do in the ring, that I look back, and I'm like, 'Oh, what was I thinking?'

My dream would be fighting against whoever the WWE World Heavyweight Champion was at WrestleMania.

I'm a huge fan of Don Leo Jonathan. I love that era of wrestling.

I try to work out whenever I can.

Of course, to be WWE world champion is definitely on my list. Anybody who is not reaching for that proverbial brass ring is doing something wrong if they're in the WWE.

When I go to different countries, I want to know how to at least say hello and thank you. Language is a great hobby.

The Giant Swing is a throwback. I used it prior to WWE quite a bit. One of the days, I thought about bringing it back. It connected with the crowd. I've been doing it ever since.

Chikara is very fun-oriented. It's its own universe, but the fans are all in on it.

Safety is always paramount at WWE.

I was a big fan of Kurt Angle when I was growing up. Actually, his book is a big part of the reason that I work out so hard.

I used to live in Philly, so I was in Baltimore a lot wrestling before I got to WWE, wrestling for different promotions.

I still believe in old school values, I still believe in hard work, I still believe in wrestling, and people have showed that's what they want to see.

I let my actions do the talking, and that might take a little bit longer for people to see.

To me, I don't like to look back; I just like to look forward.

I'm the first one to always criticize myself, and I'm trying to find ways to get better.

I can beat anybody on any given day, and I don't compromise.

When I started, I learned the European style because that's what I wrestled the most.

If you look at the Intercontinental Champion, historically, that has always belonged to the best of the best in-ring talent, the best wrestler, whatever you want to call it, that came out night after night, produced night after night - and that will be me.

I don't mind listening to some yodel music. I don't think I'm particularly good at it, but that's the point, I guess.

Wrestling is about evolving, and you always want to evolve and develop yourself.

I'm extremely competitive, extremely ambitious, and always looking for ways to improve and move up, to do things better.

As long as you work hard, good things will come. I firmly believe that.

Being a single has different challenges, and being a tag team has different challenges. I welcome them both.

I was always a very athletic kid, and I always played as many sports as possible and always tried to do new things.

If I had to name a few, I would say people like Sheamus, Kevin Owens, and John Cena are all great guys to be in the ring with.

You can't just copy someone. There are so many different styles that you can just kind of pick and choose whatever it is you'd like to do.

I care nothing about American football.

I just want to do as good as I can. What that is, I don't know.

I didn't come over with a comfy sponsor that took care of my visa and paid me a good amount of money right away. I came over here with nothing, the little bit of money that I had saved up, and it was struggle and plight to get some recognition and then finally make it to the WWE.

I was trained to be more technical in Europe because that's the audience. They enjoy a more technical style.

My style is different from everybody else's because I've traveled so much and wrestled in so many places. I took something from everywhere I went, and I think that WWE's most accomplished superstars have also done that in the past.

I'm not just cookie-cutter. You always see something different.

If the audience likes and appreciates a move, it gives the wrestlers in a ring a little bit of extra energy, and you can always use that.

I was told I have to work 10 years to get a doctorate. Well, I have worked all that time to become a doctor in professional wrestling. So to speak, I have a Ph.D. in professional wrestling.

The Hardys have such a huge following.

I am not that big of a fantasy person. I prefer myself to think of living in the real world.
