He drew parallels between his experience in amateur wrestling and the challenges he faces in the professional wrestling world. Gable emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities and overcoming setbacks.
He stated, “When something like tonight happens and it just slips through your fingers, it’s happened before in amateur wrestling, but I learned to persevere, like find my way through it and realize that that’s not the end. I promise you, in this situation, it’s the same thing. That’s not the end, for a number of reasons.”
