"I enjoyed working at both of them, because they were both special for different reasons in their own right. WWE put me on the national platform which I was blessed to do and work with 'Taker and Shawn at WrestleMania 25. It gave me that credibility so to speak. So when I did go to Lucha Underground and get some success there, and I was a major part of behind the scenes there as well. Both of them were special to me for different reasons. If I had to pick one, I'd say WWE." [11:47 - 12:22]
