Due to confidential negotiations, I have had to keep quiet for some time.  I have read a number of wrestling sites reporting what they suspected was happening with me.  I have had numerous calls from radio stations and internet sites and have answered none.  Fans on the site and in person want to know.  Truth is, I wanted to keep quiet until it was official.  Yesterday evening, I signed a contract with the World Wrestling Entertainment.

 

  I apologize for not responding to anyone, but there was no need to stir up the gossip until I had something official.  Not to mention, I am not sure of the rules yet and didn't want to cause problems with my new employer.  I have put a lot of thought into this decision and feel that it is the best for me.  Wrestling is my life and I had lost my passion for it.  I have been unhappy for some time.  It was the right time to make some changes.  I have fulfilled many dreams in my wrestling career, but the ultimate dream is to be at the top of the wrestling world...and that means the WWE. 

 

  I will say nothing bad about TNA.  I am grateful for everything they have given me.  I appreciate the fact they have helped advance my career to where it is today.  The past 5 1/2 years have been some of the best in my life, but also some of the most stressful.  I have worked my ass off to become what I am today.  Now it is time to take the next step.

 

  I don't know what the future holds for me.  It is time to start at the bottom again and fight my way to the top.  I am proud to be part of my new family.  Even though I have not worked for WWE before...I feel like that is where I belong. 

 

  I want to thank everyone for all of the support they have given me over the years.  I can only hope that you continue your support.  The real journey has just begun.  I will put my heart and soul into this journey and let God lead me. 

 

I always remind everyone to "live the dream".  This is my dream...and it's time to start living!
