the key to success is like you said having a partner that's equally invested and excited for what we're doing and i think that's that's what's been happening and we've been delivering on our part and so have they with you know the constant advertising and things like that so

Yeah, it was cool.

It was a huge moment for me, especially like I think I had spoken to you about it afterwards where the last time I was there was in 2019.

And that was the last time that my dad got to see me wrestle live before he passed away.

So I definitely felt a lot of his energy while I was there.

And before the show started, I went and sat in the stands at the exact seats where he sat.

and uh just took in that energy man and and it was so awesome that i got to go back there and have that moment and you know as you know a new york crowd they never disappoint right and they're going to tell you if they love you or they hate you and um as you know also i've i've always carried my city on my back everywhere i've gone around the world so um

Getting to have that moment and everyone was happy, man.

It was funny because when I got to the back, everybody was like, oh, all right.

I see they love you here.

And yeah, it was all good.

It was all good.

came to see you?

It proved that the work paid off, man.

It proved that everything, all the the fear that I felt when I knew that I had to make changes and take this bet on myself and go out there and put in the work, everything paid off.

And that moment was the true culmination of, yeah, I did it.

I'm here, you know, and that night I proved I belong in the main event.

A hundred percent.

And also, you know, going back to making that decision and going out on things on my own and, you know, I left a very comfortable situation.

Right.
