IGN Sports: You're one of the best technical wrestlers going today and you've been in the business for a while now, but how long did you train before we first saw you on TV? What was your road to TNA like?
Christopher Daniels: The beginning of my training to my first match was only three months, but you never stop learning in the wrestling ring. Wrestling is a craft and you're constantly learning from different opponents and different styles, not to mention, different countries have different styles. I still consider myself to be learning things. I'm still looking at tapes. I'm still watching different wrestlers and trying to learn new moves, even trying to invent new moves out of those moves. It's an ongoing process and there's never a point, I think, that you know everything you need to know. The good ones are the ones who continually try to improve themselves, whether they have been in it 14 years or 14 months. I know for me, I'm not a perfect wrestler and I'm still trying to find different things that I can bring to a ring and make myself standout from everybody else.
^ I really liked this quote from above. I think ALOT of wrestlers DON'T do this. They kind of attain a sort of status and from there on it's just going through the motions. I wish some would take this advice, especially coming from a guy who is one of the best ring workers out there.

He also promotes TNA without sounding insane, Angle might want to take notes on that part.
