...Broke his neck in 2012, which resulted in temporarily paralysis of one of his arms? He used the time off from then-FCW to go to Thailand and study Muay Thai, all while rehabilitating from his injury.

Did not know this. Holy crap. This makes me respect him even more.

Fair play to the man. He is one of the most solid workers WWE has had in many a year. Sure he'll never be a world champion, but what a solid hard working midcard champion and competitor.
