“From my perspective it was just like seeing everybody was like dialled in. From second to second to second, from sequence to sequence to sequence, everybody was on their A game. Just seeing the progression of just the little times that me and Keith [Lee] working with [Ricky] Starks and [Powerhouse] Hobbs, they just elevated their game time and time and time again."

"I have a lot of pride in that, I’ve got a lot of pride in our tag team, all of the glory to the man. Bask in his glory is a true testament to who he is and all of the glory goes to that man Keith Lee. And for putting up with me and these promos with cut every week.” [7:30-7:42]
