From his UK Sun interview:
On Winning the TNA World Title: “My debut for TNA was at the Genesis PPV, so it’s cool to think exactly a year down the line I won the title on the same show.
“It was a great feeling to do so and a night where the storytelling we do worked perfectly. There are times when you can feel the crowd with you and you know they are joining in with you as you work. Win, lose or draw that is what I am here to do.
“At Genesis we had that reaction we dream of, it all fell into place and everyone believed in us.
“I’m happy and feel I have done my job if, whether the title is on the line or not, the fans have followed us from beginning to end and we brought them along for the ride.”
On who he’d like to face as TNA World Champion: “There’s Kurt Angle for starters, odds are we’ll face each other again I’m sure.
“I had a great match with him at Lockdown, it is my all-time favourite bout I’ve been in and obviously if a rematch with him was there it wouldn’t be turned down.
“I feel that I still have some great places to go with AJ Styles, we’ve not hit our mark yet. Samoa Joe is a guy I have yet to do much with so he’d be an awesome opponent.
“But then I also need to be aware that there are some guys like Jay Lethal and Beer Money just waiting for an opportunity too. In my opinion TNA have the most peer talent in the business right now.”
