Harris stated “Jamie Noble really stands out to me [as someone who] went out of his way to not do me any favors. He was trying to change my match around right before I’m going out… It’s already hard enough to try to change my whole routine because I can’t do all these moves and now you’re trying to tell me before I’m seconds away from going out to just do this and do that and do this… It was so bad. I must have thrown 30 clotheslines in that match.” (Transcript h/t: WrestlingInc.com)

I am so grateful to be a part of this history!“
