"The most entertaining and the most charismatic, ever . I'm really looking forward to TNA going primetime on April 13 and being the champ when we get there."

You were congratulated post-match by Dory Funk, Jr., himself a former NWA Heavyweight Champion. You even were wearing his legendary cowboy hat. Your thought on that experience?

"That was cool. I met Dory before I really broke onto the national stage and he helped me during a time in my career when I was very young, so, for him to be here and witness me winning the title that he once carried is something special. He came up to me today and told me that he wanted me to win and that he was very proud of me. He also told me that he once won the title on Feb. 11th in Tampa, so he wanted me to win the title on Feb. 12th in Orlando. He was pretty fired up about that."
