It was such a whirlwind, so I don’t want to paraphrase or even try to remember everything. But everything seemed positive. I got the point. And it’s funny, because as I was just kind of cooling off, I’m like, 'When was the first time I was in this building?' It was Albany. So I did a little research. The first time I ever wrestled in Albany, it was Curt Hawkins and Ryder vs. Triple H and Jeff Hardy. I went on WWE.com. I found this picture, like Triple H spinebustering [sic] me. Like, how wild is it? The first time I’m there, I'm getting spinebusted by Triple H. Last time I’m there, getting the finger point."
