He said:

“The number one thing is that I like to see somebody that is athletic, has a life outside of wrestling. If you’re just into wrestling then you only have one interest. But also I like to see people that are ambitious and that wanna be successful. Because when you wanna be successful you will really sacrifice and work.”
