Straight from the hyphenated hero himself, here is his thoughts on the past week.
This week has been an incredible one for yours truly. In case you haven’t heard, I got engaged last Saturday. Yep, I called Monica (g/f of the past 7 years, off and on) into the ring after I beat Donny Davenport to become the first ever TPWA Cruiserweight Champion and proposed to her.
By the way, you can watch that match and proposal in their entirety on my MySpace profile.
It was a very surreal moment for me, and as I stood there holding her, I realized that it was the greatest moment of my life. After all the bullshit: basic training, Germany, Kuwait, Iraq, Fort Hood, Iraq again, I finally know it was all worth it.
After persevering through all that with one goal in mind (wrestling), I finally got to see all my dreams come true. If it was all taken away from me tomorrow, and for some reason I had to quit wrestling, I could do it and be content. That’s an amazing feeling! Quite a progression since last January, when on IndyWarz.com I was branded “worst opening match heel EVER” from my match with Tarantula in Paris, Texas.
I want to thank all of you who’ve supported me over the years, through the good and the bad. There were nights in Iraq when I wondered if I’d ever even see Texas again, and dreams of two things got me through it: Monica and wrestling. To those of you who never stopped believing in me: THANK YOU.
And to everybody who’s congratulated us on our engagement, thank you. It means so much to Monica and I, and she thanks you as well.
The punk is here… to stay.
