I was an all-sport athlete growing up. My dad, I think, hoped I would go to college on a scholarship.
From T. J. Perkins
I grew up on WWE. Eddie Guerrero is my everything. He's my hero, as are Shawn Michaels and Tiger Mask. I tried to model myself after them.
Lucha libre culture was part of my wrestling upbringing. I'm Filipino, so it wasn't a part of my normal upbringing, but it's what gave me my start. I get a lot of my technical and high-flying wrestling from that.
I try to take each moment at a time.
I grew up kind of self-supported, that kind of environment, because my parents both worked for airlines.
I could program the VCR when I was really young.
I got to do a lot of good things at a young age. I really kind of knocked out my bucket list when I was really young.
I went to Japan and I lived there. I lived in Mexico for a year. I went to Europe. I lived in Canada.
Part of the reason why Kobe Bryant is such a big inspiration to me is because he was shipped off to the Lakers right out of high school. He went from English class to the Great Western Forum.
A lot of the ups and downs for me, especially the downs, I feel like it came in a lot of indirect ways because I didn't appreciate what I had.
