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.
