It is relentless. These variables are manifold and when that door opened and you have not two masked men, but you have Drew McIntyre, you must take advantage of the moment. I have been doing it too long and I know I cannot do it literally forever, right? The end of my career, my friend, is at just the right time to get when it is good getting. Drew came in and he was playing the game and Cody was on the floor. I made my decision to RKO Cody. I do hate to do it now, it is an old friend. But do I really hate doing it? No, I don’t. I’m going to WrestleMania. Personally, I would choose WrestleMania as my favorite. I have won the right to make headliner in the WrestleMania.
