Speaking at the convention, Wardlow expressed his gratitude to the fans and admitted that wrestling is everything to him. He stated, “Wrestling is my everything. It makes me happy. So today, I feel like me again for the first time in months. So I just want to say thank you guys for coming out because you guys really flip a switch in my mind and my heart that I needed, so thank you.”
