"I'm really enjoying it in TNA. It is so different than the other company I was with. I mean you are not just a number here, you get praise for what you do and don't have to fight so hard to get a spot or chance to prove yourself. The big thing here is that it is like a family. One big TNA family I guess you could say. It may not be a Hollywood and have the spectacle others have. But what we lack in money, we make for in talent and quality. In my opinion this is the best roster in the world right now. We have so much talent that we can put on good quality shows wherever we go."
