The first, and I'm telling this to the listeners because I think it's so important, like there's a first group that just were so stressed about what's coming that they were just numb.

Like they just couldn't do anything because they were in this really, really dark place, right? And the second group is basically the group that just ignored it. oh, it's nothing. I will just continue as I am because that was not it, right? Like it definitely took effect. And the third group is exactly what you're talking about. They were listening. They were getting all these ideas.

They were adapting really, really quick. And it's incredible to watch. So Tony, that's why eventually wasn't even a big bleep. It was just one of those things. I'm just going to adjust the sale and I'm going to go. So I just love that.

I love that example because you're right. When everybody's in the same boat and it's hard on everybody, then it's really more about who's going to be the problem solver, the innovative, who's not going to let the stress take them down. It's so true. And I think in 2022, if I'm not mistaken, you obviously acquired Ring of Honor, right?
