ROH World champion Jay Lethal took part in an “Ask Me Anything” Q&A on Reddit Thursday afternoon that included the following topics covered:

“I love NJPW. In fact I’m super excited to be working for them at WK10 and wrestling in the Tokyo Dome,” Lethal said. Later, Lethal said, “This will 100% be a highlight of my career! I’ve dreamed of wrestling in the Tokyo Dome!”

– Lethal talked about pro wrestling being his only career path when he started as a teenager. “I really put all of my eggs in the wrestling basket. Their was no plan B for me. Maybe not the smartest idea, but i think its paying off,” Lethal said.

– Lethal also talked about getting noticed playing the “Black Machismo” character, talking to Randy Savage, the famous TNA promo exchange with Ric Flair, and other early-days TNA and ROH topics.
