“When I started wrestling, I was 19 years old. Little Jag. Looking back, I had no idea what this business was going to take from me, how much it would demand, or how much of my life I would give to it.
Now I’m 46.
I’ve got the pain, Ive got the injuries, I’ve got the scars. I’ve got my body that reminds me every single day that I’ve been doing this for a very long time.
Maybe my body isn’t what it used to be… but that doesn’t mean the fire is gone.
27 years later, Big Jag, I still have something left to prove!
It’s time for the WORLD TAG LEAUGE with ROY!
Lets go 👊👊
