It just brings a different element to the table when you're wrestling with a guy as a partner because you don't know what's going to happen.

And so it's sort of a fine line where you want to be recognizable as professional wrestling but you also want to set yourself apart from what some people consider the standard of professional wrestling, which is the WWE.
