I've never forgot my roots and where I came from, and I'd not change a thing about my journey.

You don't need lots of friends; you only need a couple of good ones.
Sometimes I stop, take a step back, and realise how good I've got it.
I just looked in to stuff to do to keep me occupied. Alright, I'm gonna start dieting. I'm gonna start working out more. So then I started to lose weight, and then I started to see some results, and I started to drop some weight.
I always watched '205 Live' on the sidelines. It's more my style: I like the quick and innovative moves. I just thought the brand was going to thrive, and I wanted to be a part of it.
As soon as I put my bags down in the hotel, I'll do a search on my phone to find which local gyms are in my area.
One of my favorite things about traveling is experimenting with different workouts in different gyms. If I can't get to a Gold's Gym, and I'm stuck in a small hotel gym, and it's only got a medicine ball and a treadmill, how am I going to make sure I get a decent workout from this environment? I love that challenge.
Calling yourself the 'Best Kept Secret' is a die on your own sword.
Obviously, it was a dream to get signed by WWE, and that, by itself, was huge for me.
I started watching wrestling when I was eight, and I only watched the WWE as a kid.
It's always been one of those dreams, to make it to the WWE.
I'll be the first Australian to compete in the WWE.
Being the first Australian to ever actually hold a WWE promoted championship - it is a huge honour. It's something that can never be taken away. Words can't describe it.
I was obviously in NXT for a while and had some success, but then I found myself lurking in the shadows and not really doing much.
I'm looking forward to wrestling Tony Nese, defending my title, and cementing my legacy as the greatest cruiserweight of all time.
Dropping 25 pounds was something I was unsure about. It seemed like a pointless adventure, in a way.
Obviously, it's very exciting to be able to wrestle in my hometown.
I remember, one teacher in Year 11 asked the class what everyone wanted to do when they grow up, and I said, 'I want to be a professional wrestler.' The teacher laughed and said to be serious.
Don't take no as an answer - anyone can achieve anything.
'205' should be called 'Buddy Murphy Live.' The championship is on my shoulder, and so is the show.
I captured what I said I was going to capture, the Cruiserweight Championship, and I did it in front of my friends and my family.
