He had also started wrestling without a mask after joining the WWE. Before this, since his debut in 2002, he used to compete with a mask.
2. As of August 2020, he was the only wrestler to have won both Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG)’s annual tournaments – the Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament (2010) and the Battle of Los Angeles (2011).
3. In 2015, he was ranked at number 23 in the PWI 500, an annual list of the best 500 male wrestlers published by the renowned Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine. He was also ranked at number 70 in 2019.
