Alot of truth and honesty rolled into the “entertainment” aspect of pro wrestling. Regardless of how predetermined or not Paul’s two (or three) words were – “Matt frickin’ Hardy”, I respect him and thank him for going there. It popped me when I heard. Paul Heyman is a truly amazing individual when it comes down to him having his fingers on the pulse of the product. I respect his contributions to the business and wrestling mind greatly. I also respect the f*ck out of the New York fans–more specifically, the more educated, can’t be insulted, we’ll call you out on your feces fans. When it comes to performing, there’s nowhere like NYC and the New Yorkers. As always, I thank everyone for their support–be well.
