As a child, I think everybody imitates their favorite cartoon character in some form or another when they're playing.
I worked for my family's Polynesian dance troupe for my entire life up until I started wresting full time.
I grew up watching Transformers. I think it was one of the first cartoons that I started watching as a kid. It was awesome. I would set my clock every morning before I went to school. It was a big part of my childhood.
My experience at NXT was quite stellar.
Anytime you're sitting there writing a book about yourself, it's a pretty self-fulfilling prophecy, I guess.
Myself, there's people saying, 'He'll never find himself in the halls of WWE.' It's a narrative that's fueled more by secondhand fan myth than what people feel.
