He said he had tryouts elsewhere and nobody else wanted me. He thanks Court Bauer. He admitted this might be his last MLW match for the foreseeable future. He said it’s not about him anymore, it’s about the hungry boys and girls in the back who will keep pushing MLW to have success. He said thanks one last time and left.
