    Definitely didn't see the direction this one went. It's awesome when you do interviews with the people that don't always get those opportunities and you learn a lot about someone. He seems like a very genuine guy with an amazing story to tell, and you gave him the platform to tell it.

    Ricardo talking about emotional nights made me remember Wrestlemania 29. The pyro, the music, the way he announced. It was so amazing. Being in attendance and having my Mexican mother next to me finally understood why Pro Wrestling was important to millions. She cried so much seeing the Mexican colors and seeing Alberto wrestle was a huge core memory for her. To this day she still brings it up and asks for me to replay that match every April.
