Speaking to Z100's Josh Martinez on the Superstar Crossover podcast, Swerve praised TNA Wrestling's Sami Callihan as an underrated industry gem. Strickland says that not only is Callihan a phenomenal performer between the ropes but his mind for the industry is underrated as well.

"Underrated in the game today? Oh, that's tough. Truth be told, I'm going to always say Sami Callihan. He's one of the most underrated, not only just talents, but minds. He's the reason I have the mind that I have now for sure."
