“My favourite wrestler growing up was Goldberg, Bill Goldberg in WCW, from the football aspect of his career. He played for the Falcons and at the University of Georgia, too. He was just so intense, man, and he was a monster physically. He was so physically imposing and impressive. The security would knock on his locker room door to come to get him before his match, and you’d hear just a thud in the background, and then he’d come out, and he’d have a mark on his forehead because he had just headbutted the steel locker to get ready for his match. That’s just how he was, man. It was 100%, 100 miles an hour, full intensity all the time for him, and it drew me to him.”

The former 24/7 champion then went on and divulged the details of the time he spent with Goldberg during a PPV:

 “I love him, and at an event in WWE Elimination Chamber, we were both on the show. I had a match against Drew McIntyre. He had a match against Roman Reigns, and it was the first time I actually got to meet him, and it was really cool. We got to hang out for about a weekend and talk, and he kind of passed on some knowledge to me and definitely some stuff that I try to emulate in my performance.”
