Anecdotes

During his second reign as ROH World Television Champion, defeated ROH World Heavyweight Champion Jay Briscoe (Jamin Pugh) in a Title vs. Title match at "ROH Best in the World 2015" on June 19, 2015, turning himself heel and joining Truth Martini (Martin Krcaj)'s the House of Truth in the process.

He was a part of the TNA Front Line, a contingent of wrestlers opposing the Main Event Mafia.

Has used Papa Roach's "Last Resort," Static-X's "This Is Not," Rob Zombie's "Pussy Liquor," and DJ Flashrider's "Attenzione (Jens. O Remix)" as entrance music in ROH, and Static-X's "Push It" in ROH and Full Impact Pro (Florida).

His "Black Machismo" gimmick in 2006-2008 TNA derived from how he did a great Randy Savage imitation backstage and was turned into a Savage clone, complete with raspy voice, colorful outfit, Flying Elbow finisher, and 1980s wrestling references in his promos, such as calling his tag team partner Sonjay Dutt (Retesh Bhalla) "Bollea" (Hulk Hogan's real last name).
