If one thing is very clear - in order to get my life back, there can be no Johnny Gargano in NXT.
This isn't the same Johnny Gargano that is going to overreact to things and let his emotions get the best of him. In 2019, I'm a little calmer and more collected.
You must earn what you have. Life does not give you anything. You must give in order to get. You must stand up to the very thing that challenges you, look it in the face, get clear about your intention, order your thoughts and your life, and proceed without fear or hesitation. Life is not unfair. Along the way, you will always find bits of information and support to guide you to purpose.
I don't see myself as anything special. I'm just Johnny Gargano. I always have been, no matter what I'm about to do or where I am.
The atmosphere we get with NXT and NXT fans, they're a die-hard group. They care deeply about NXT.
NXT in my head is something I'm trying to help build, get it to its peak. I will do whatever I have to: I will strap NXT to my back and carry it up a cliff if I have to.
Johnny Gargano is someone I've known for years - we've been EVOLVE Tag Team Champions together; we've wrestled each other many times over the years.
I had a list of names I wanted to use. Ricochet happened to be one of them, but I really wanted a true name name, like Johnny Gargano, Adam Cole, John Cena.
Otis and I go way back to NXT and we've been friends since NXT, so it's very nice to know the person pretty well. You feel comfortable and I think it comes off more natural on TV as well, which is cool. He's obviously just so funny.
I do not need some guy around in order to get inspiration, in order to make a great record, in order to live my life, in order to feel okay about myself. And I wanted to show my fans the same thing.
Johnny can get down and Johnny can throw up, but Johnny can't read.
I don't own any of these names. I don't own Johnny World, Johnny Mundo, John Morrison, Johnny Nitro, Johnny Blaze or Johnny Impact. None of it.
Johnny Gargano, to me, he's the best professional wrestler in the world today. No doubt about it. Inside the ring, bell-to-bell, there's just nobody better. So having him as a teammate for years as part of DIY helped me tremendously.
I didn't feel that I was ready to leave NXT. When I was called up to SmackDown, I was very nervous. I hadn't done many of the things at NXT that I thought I was supposed to. I didn't have a TakeOver match. I never held the title. I only had a few matches on NXT TV and to be called up and told, 'Well, here you go!'
I'm sure I'll get lambasted for this, but I don't get the Asuka thing. Like, I really don't. She's fine, and she's solid, but I don't know. Even going back to the NXT stuff, I've watched it. I don't know. I just never really bought in.
When I won the NXT women's title from Natalya at Full Sail, becoming the second-ever woman's champion for NXT, that's when I knew, 'Okay, I'm doing the right thing,' and that I could do this.
I like Johnny Carson because he doesn't hold anything back when he's going for a laugh. Johnny will do anything, say anything, to get his laugh.
