Yeah, you got the raw end of that deal. It stuck with me and might actually be my favourite Lio Rush moment, but tell me - what’s yours?
My favourite Lio Rush moment... Man, there are so many cool moments I had on the independent circuit as well as the WWE. I don't think I can narrow it down to a specific moment on the independent scene, but I think my entire feud with Joey Janela is definitely the most memorable for me because people were so emotionally invested in anything we did - whether it was return vignettes or promos, or the matches themselves - and the whole run with the Blackheart character was pretty awesome too. A lot of people remember that character on the independent scene.
I would say in the WWE, I think just everything I did with Bobby [Lashley]. As much as a lot of people didn't like it, or a lot of people did, it gave me a lot of good publicity, it gave me a lot of good energy and it made my confidence in speaking just so... Man, it's hard to put into words because I was never a good talker, I was never a good promo guy, and my time working with Bobby, doing the stuff on television, it just gave me a confidence that I never knew I had, so all my stuff with Bobby. it was fun, it was funny and it was very hard to keep a straight face on anything that we did promo-wise, so that was definitely a good time!
