You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his past run in Japan: “Looking back at my time in Japan, I was working with some of the best guys in the company in the ring, and I was spending time with some of my best friends in life on a daily basis. I mean, come on, that was incredible.”
On dealing with jet leg during dinner with a sponsor: “Jet lag is a real thing. That time, as soon as I landed, I felt it. A sponsor took us out, but I was so tired, I couldn’t keep my eyes open. At first, it was rude, I’ll admit it. But the jet lag was real. So it became this running joke. I’d eat, then I’d go right to sleep at the dinner table.”
