company? Why would you want to suspend one of your top guys... it just

The match itself was good, the fans were surprised and most of all, they were happy.
In times of trouble in society, I always say wrestling is a great
escape from reality. If you take it from its inner core, it’s good vs.
evil, a roller coaster of emotions and one hell of a show. I put smiles
on people’s faces and was given an opportunity and created a moment for
myself. That really is what it is all about.
