@kunalsummerSwerve Strickland breaks down his top three wrestling inspirations with Rey Mysterio holding the number one spot always, followed by Adam Copeland or Edge and then Shawn Michaels. He notes he learned from all three but only actually wrestled Rey since he never got the chance to face Shawn in the ring. The dynamic shifts when talking about seeing Adam Copeland every single week though. Swerve explains that whenever he is on the fence about a match idea for the night he runs it by Copeland who gives decisive feedback on which path to take. That process feels good because Copeland always has the best interest of the performer in mind.
