Iconic Quotes From Tommaso Ciampa

“When ‘In Your House’ became a thing when I was a kid, it was just the coolest ever and people are winning houses… So when NXT is bringing out the old-school graphics, the only thing I’m wondering is if somehow we could have that old ‘In Your House’ set. That’s all just the fan in me.”

“I always tell people, when I was a kid, there was four pay-per-views a year, and everything had three-month builds, and it was just the best thing ever. That’s my wrestling. It was like, if there was a way for it to go back to that, oh my God, I would be so happy. And that’s what NXT has provided.”

“I always tell people, when I was a kid, there was four pay-per-views a year, and everything had three-month builds, and it was just the best thing ever. That’s my wrestling. It was like, if there was a way for it to go back to that, oh my God, I would be so happy. And that’s what NXT has provided.”

“There wasn’t a pinpoint time that it clicked, but I know for sure the end of Ring of Honor I started to realize that I became good at this. But I felt that at Ring of Honor I was type-casted and I couldn’t get out of that and I was asking a lot from them if I can switch my character and have certain opponents.”

“So for a guy like Karrion Kross to set his sights right at the top of the card and want to get right into a big program and make a name for himself and make an impact, I fully get it, it makes sense that the two of us got paired together because I think that, for the fans, it’s one of those match-ups that they just wanted to see.”

“There’s that part of you as a performer that when you’re told you’re gonna be a fan favorite, you think ‘Oh man, I better smile more and be kinder, let the people in more’ I kinda had to fight all those instincts and just be like ‘No, no no, you’re gonna walk at the same pace, do everything with the same cadence, do everything the same.’”

“I was training at Killer Kowalski’s old place, and at that time it was the Chaotic Training Center but now it is the New England Training Academy, but we were kind of the feeding ground. Anytime WWE was in the northeast area that is who they would call. They would call them for extra talent.”
