"I bust my shoulder up, I had shoulder surgery. It kind of steered me away from the wrestling world, but it was a blessing in disguise, to be honest because had I not put those rollerskates on at 12:30am at some random high school going down some hill then I'd probably still be wrestling. God has a plan for me and it wasn't wrestling."He wasn't exactly a keen rollerskater. He didn't grow up practicing it as an extreme sport. In his own words, he was simply an adrenaline junkie doing 'crazy shit'. It was just that one time when he went a little too far.
"I was going down a hill and I did a backflip over one car and in the process of doing a backflip, I did a front flip, landed both of them. I bounced up over one car, landed it, did a front flip, landed that, continued to go down hill and just said, 'Fuck it, I'm tired. I'm going to just lie down.' So I pretty much laid down rollerskating in the middle of the street going down hill and it wasn't fun."
"I'm going to do some dirty things to Patricio Pitbull. I'll finish Pitbull, bro."
"I don't think Gallagher's going to win this fight. That's the problem. I don't know if he told you or not, but the guy that he's fighting is from Jersey and I'm a Jersey boy myself. You're not really winning with all that chit-chat and shit. You think you're going to come out here and just talk your way into a world championship? That's not the case. You've got to be looking at what's in front of you."
"I don't think he wants to fight me. He's going to do what he wants to do and that's do everything he can to avoid a real fight. I don't think he's got it in him. I see it in him. He's not like that. Your boy's not like that." "He carries himself as if he's done something spectacular. I don't know what he's done over there. I don't know if he's like a national champ and he's been defending on every level his whole life. But as far as I see, I think he's frightened."
"Your boy ain't going to get away from fighting me. If they want a belt, they've got to beat me. I'm not just going to give up a belt. Sorry. If you want to be a champion, you've got to beat the champion."The bad news is, if Caldwell has his way, that fight wouldn't take place on home turf for Gallagher. Although he's never been to Ireland before, he gets the feeling he doesn't have much to gain from fighting there.
"Ireland is not for people like me. Going to Ireland, for what? Personally, if I'm being realistic, unless I've got 50,000 followers over there that legit want to see me. If not, then I've got no business going over there and putting on a show for you guys. For what? So you guys can talk shit some more? No, I don't feel it. Get 50,000 followers from Ireland to follow me, I'll fight over there."This could be the beginning of a beautiful rivalry.
