It’s really humbling that a company would do that. Not knowing exactly what the show is going to entail, I’m looking forward to hopefully seeing some of the guys I’ve worked with through the years there. It’s definitely going to be bittersweet for me. It’s one of those deals where I feel it’s important that I’m there and get to address the fans and people who have been with me for 30 years and followed my career and stuck with me when it’s been a flavor of the month business for a long time.

“It’s going to be very emotional. It’s all going to become very real that my career in the ring is likely over. I’m just running that whole spectrum of emotions and trying to encapsulate everything and keep everything in check.
