On how his infamous “Any man with two hands” promo he cut before his Braun Strowman squash match came to be:

JE: I love to cut promos. I cut them pretty much every night I am on the independents. Almost every show. It’s something I just really enjoy doing. When they gave me a promo I was stoked right away. I was like, “I’m going to kill this promo. Whatever it is. I’m going to do it and I’m going to kill it.” Like I said, I just wanted to do a good job at everything they gave me to do that night. They gave me a script and I’m back there with the writer and he says, “Do you think there’s anything you might want to add to this?” He’s like, “Nine times out of ten we won’t let you but if you have anything cool we’ll let you.” I said, “Well, I’m hitting him twice in the match can I say, ‘Any man with two hands has a fighting chance’?” He goes, “Well, I like it. Let me see if I can get it cleared.” I don’t know who he had to clear it with. I don’t know if it was Vince himself. I have no clue. Then I didn’t see the writer for an hour an a half. He comes back and he says, “Dude, they love the line, you have to say it!” I said, “Don’t worry. I’ll say it.”
