If you've got three announcers sitting at the same table saying the same thing, you don't need two of them https://t.co/jdGj2NpDIM

– UK independent wrestler Zack Sabre, Jr. spoke with to Sports Illustrated about his big plans for 2016 and not being ready to join WWE. Here is what he had to say:
“WWE is fantastic, but you have to go in with the right mindset. If I went there, then I would be aware that I would be working for a company that is predominantly television-minded. You can’t be naive when you enter there and expect to be doing what you’re doing on a live show in front of a few hundred people who are all real passionate wrestling fans. But their product is great, and it’s an incredible weekly television show. If you want to succeed, you can if you have the right mindset. I also feel there is so much more to achieve and learn, on a personal level as well, for me in Japan. With my style, I really think I can go anyway.”
WWE has been interested in signing him in the past.
