This has made me hit a wall tonight.
An inspiration to me as an aspiring professional wrestler.
Goodbye to one of the ones that made me love this game we call professional wrestling.

"I can't understand how grown men are still into wrestling," Rob Parker said on his Fox Sports show. "We all went to the zoo. We all went to the circus as kids, right? And at some point, Kelvin, you grow out of it. I just cannot get over how these older guys who are sports fans live and die for that stuff, but they have this soft spot for wrestling, and they're walking around with the belts, and they're going to a watch party at a sports bar. I need somebody to explain it to me, because I don't understand it."
If you’ve been at a job for a small number of years but at a high level for a majority of it.
You don’t have to listen to dumb motherfuckers that talk down to you and say they know better because they’ve been at the job for a large number of years but at a low level for a majority of it.
Respect everyone.
But don’t let anyone son you, ever.
Needed some time to myself before speaking on this…
Every time I’m getting ready to head out for a match, I always find a corner and take a moment to myself.
I kneel and pray to God to protect me and my opponent. To watch over us as we head out to give the fans an escape and something worth what they pay their hard earned money for.
But as we all know, freak accidents happen that are sometimes out of our control and in the moment. That’s the unfortunate reality of what we do. All we can do is learn from it and take preventative measures moving forward, so that we can avoid making the same mistakes.
I will say, I’m truly proud of how TNA handled the situation. And even more proud of referee Alice Lane. Her elite professionalism and quick thinking saved us. We were truly blessed to have had her out there with us.
I’m glad that Steve is safe and doing well. He’s one of the toughest guys I know and someone I’ve considered a close friend for a long time. At the end of the day, our health and well-being come first and we showed exactly that.
Thank you everyone. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yall be careful who you wrestle where and when and how ready you or your opponent can be.
Sometimes ppl dgaf if their students are safe, the content is worth more to them than your health and body.
Good luck out there!
