But I said it a different way, and he looked at me all confused. And I was like, ‘Never mind, dude’. I just walked away. So that was my experience with that.”

His comments reflect the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of professional wrestling, where relationships and opportunities may evolve in unexpected ways.
