I've dreamt about stepping on that stage a dozen times, and this whole year I've just been preparing for that moment. ... Wrestling it's been a huge thing in my life. Wrestling's been my life for nine years now. I don't know what I'm going to do without competition now. But it's been a blessing in my life. It's taught me so much. It's really helped me to become a man. And I'll be forever grateful for that."
