“Is it supposed to be a championship for a certain style of wrestlers? For wrestlers under a certain weight limit? I think over the years the one thing that has held the X-Division from being in a certain spot is that it doesn't have a definition.”

“Obviously, you'd like your titles to be defended at major pay-per-views. I think most fans would agree with that although it doesn't mean that always has to be the case.”

“Guys like Samoa Joe, no matter what it's been, what promotion, every time we are in the ring there is such an easy storytelling and psychology in there. We always had good matchups.”

“Lewis stood up to him in 2021 and Lewis lost that championship unfairly. Could you imagine the roles being reversed? Max losing that championship in the manner of how Lewis lost that championship?”

“A guy that's going to do all of the dirty work, that guy that is willing to defend anyone and do the little things and not really care about all of that other stuff. I think every championship team needs that.”

“Dad re-mortgaged the house and family and friends pitched in to help me get through that first year and after that, that was it. I won my first championship in cars that year - 1991.”
