Mike Santana

Thank you.

Great to see you.

Absolutely.

I mean, like you said, everyone has taken this journey with me and I've prided myself on carrying everyone on my back and taking them along for the ride.

And, you know, I'm just grateful and humbled by all the support that I've gotten through the years and everything.

What we've all been able to accomplish with TNA and me being at the forefront and being part of this whole new era for the company and being on AMC, it's a huge deal.

Yeah, I feel like the best is yet to come.

absolutely like where I come from and I'm sure you've heard this before all we got is our word and our balls you know and I don't break them for no one and to be honest man like I spent so many years running from truth that now is just like face it head-on you know what I mean and we my dad always used to say we have one life right why are we going to bullshit anyone especially ourselves yeah

So I live that every day of my life, you know, and when it comes to my family and especially my daughter is just showing her be real, be upfront.

And it's the best way to be, you know, you eliminate all the other bullshit, you know.

I think it's very important for anyone, especially in this line of work or any line of work where you're constantly on that grind and constantly traveling.

One thing I've learned the past few years, especially going through rehab and stuff like that, was...

you have to take care of you right above all and you gotta sometimes put yourself first and I'm never afraid of doing that you know what I mean especially when I need it I'm not afraid to say that I need it but also I've earned it right as you know I've been on the grind for the last two and a half years non-stop and you know when the time comes where I feel like I could take a break I'm gonna take that break and

Spend time with family and Puerto Rico, as you know, Tommy, has always been a place for me where I go.

It's my happy place, right?

It's a place where I go and I could free my mind and reconnect with myself and my roots and everything.

So every time I go over there is to do exactly that.

And I'm thankful.

I said this last week.

I'm thankful that I'm at a point in my career where I can make those choices.
