I thought this would be the year (that he would be healthy). But I fought through it anyway.

I definitely feel a lot better today than I did yesterday. This morning I still didn't feel the best, but I knew I just had to push myself through.

I think (the layoff) hurt us. Having that layoff is good to nurse injuries, but it also kind of takes away from being tuned up and (it takes away) from the intensity.

We will have five matches with some very tough teams. It will be a good test, and good preparation for what lies ahead.

I probably would have taken bottom. It helped a lot.

It felt good. I knew I had to come out and wrestle Casey as hard as I could.

Little things add up and this is what happened here. But I'm very pleased. Our guys wrestled well.
