Exactly 20 years ago, I started my pro wrestling career training with Dory Funk Jr, Tom Pritchard and some future HOFers’… Christian, Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy. It’s been rewarding, exciting and fun…. AND challenging, miserable and devastating. But I wouldn’t change it. I’m stronger now due to the many lessons my life has thrown in front of me. #itstrue #noregrets #wwe #wrestling #addictionrecovery #obstacles
