You lose timing.

You lose... Even although I wasn't taking trauma on my body, you still lose... Just Father Time is undefeated.

But my mind, my mind's eye...

had envisioned that match that I want to go out on, right?

I want to go out on a five-star, hang my six shooters up on the mantle, say kiss my ass, follow that, I'm done, right?

That's what I was looking for.

And I don't think I was really honest with myself, knowing with the injuries and everything else that was going on that I wasn't going to be able to do that.

And...

I thought my best last shot was going to be with AJ.

COVID hits, right?

That match, the Boneyard match, is supposed to happen entering in a stadium.

COVID hits, all that gets shut down.

So, you know, again, you know, I'm having to think in my, and in that camp that I always called like those last few years that I was, I had, I'm going into camp to get ready for mania, right?

There was a, there was a strict regiment that we did always, you know, cardio had to be, that's the biggest thing is the cardio.

Like when you're not getting reps.

It is a whole lot.

It's not running on a treadmill.

No, no, no, no.

Yes.

And not having those reps, getting older, it just became increasingly difficult.
