I've got to thank my doctor, Dr. Monty Wilburn, because without him I would not have been able to come back. I'm just on top of the world right now. This is just amazing.

It's surreal feeling, walking in the parade of champions. It was just a phenomenal experience. It definitely surpasses anything I've ever done before athletically.

I think just having more mat time has helped me. You're always in a match so you just can never give up.

I felt great going into that match. I thought I wrestled the best match I could. He's a pretty good. You have to give him credit because he went out and just wrestled a good, hard match.
