HoHo Lun was released by WWE earlier this month. He signed with WWE back in 2016 and competed in the inaugural WWE Cruiserweight Classic tournament where he lost in the second round. The last time that he appeared on NXT TV was when he lost to The Velveteen Dream back in June.

The former NXT Superstar recently spoke with the South China Morning Post about his time with WWE. Here are the highlights:

Competing in the first round of the Cruiserweight Classic:

“The morning of the match, I still felt normal. And then when I got to the backstage I thought, ‘Oh my god, is it me next?’ I was a little bit upset afterwards, I felt it’s not the best match I’ve done. American style is totally different, so that first match is very nervous for me. I see it on my Twitter – ‘Ho Ho sucks.’ I said, ‘Yeah, I know.’ It breaks your heart, but I know it’s true. If I’m reviewing that match, I’d type the same thing on my Twitter. But if they criticize me, that means they watched me. It’s better than people not watching me. It motivated me to get better.”

Wanting to be on WWE 205 Live:

“Other than the Cruiserweight Classic, every NXT match I do, the guy is one foot taller than me, I can’t do much. Most of my matches in NXT are like five minutes. If there’s a chance, I wanted to do more matches with smaller guys. I never got a chance to wrestle there [205 Live]. I don’t know what happened. Maybe they want me to stay in NXT for a while first.”
