It’s going to be very cool, very heartwarming, and it’s going to once again show that pro wrestling is this entity that is worldwide. It’s not just here in the States, it’s not just in Canada, it’s everywhere. And it makes people happy and gives them a chance to live their dreams, no matter what country you happen to be born in.
