He worked hard for 12 years before signing with Impact Wrestling. In March 2014, that dream came true. It should’ve been the best day of his life, but it wasn’t because his mom took her own life three weeks before that. He portrayed a clown at first, but he is no clown. Nor is he crazy. Tom said he’s never heard most of that story. Tom then asks why he’s telling this story now. To be continued…
