Speaking to Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl on In The Weeds, KC reflected on his AEW experience.

"I got feedback from so many people. Jerry Lynn, Billy Gunn, you have the smartest people back there. They have fantastic agents back there. I got to learn how to listen to the referees, listen how to slow down. Listen how to work cameras and angles. Then, I got great opportunities like working Rey Fenix. I remember after that match speaking to Tony Khan and Tony Khan praising me for giving Fenix a great match because I think that following Wednesday he was wrestling (Kenny) Omega, and he was very proud of me and put me over to the moon after that. Learn how to slow down, learn how to listen to the referees, get used to times wrestling. When there are moments like, you're going out there and you have eight minutes, and suddenly you get cut to four, being prepared for stuff like that," he said.

Elaborating more on television wrestling, KC said, "I love working the television style. Even if I have a referee and the referee is connected or doing the times, I always try to tell them to give me a breakdown so I know what I'm doing and I can know what to think of next. I think it's very helpful. It eases me a little bit. I feel more comfortable wrestling on TV a little more, which I know may shock a lot of people. I just feel more comfortable with the television style overall."

In December, KC attended a WWE tryout along with other independent wrestlers Kylie Rae, Vincent, and Dutch. Fans can find KC's comments on the tryout by clicking here.
