In a separate interview with Examiner.com, Eric Young also talked about winning the TNA title, not shaving his beard, and more:

Eric Young on keeping his beard for both TNA and Animal Planet:

"I think if I shaved my beard I might lose both of my jobs. The beard is one of my things now and has been since 2009. I had a beard when it was considered weird. If I shave now people would not recognize me."

Eric Young on becoming TNA Champion and traveling with the Title:

"The beard makes me completely recognizable. There is no hiding from it - and I don't want to hide from it. People I meet love seeing the title. They tell me congrats Champ - and it is a thrill. It will never get old."
