Hey, all! Two year neck scans are in. Things are unchanged. My C1 has healed fibrously but has not formed new bone. I’m not medically cleared and truthfully, I may never be cleared. But I am blessed to be free of pain, immensely happy and otherwise healthy. Life is good.

Rest In Peace, Akira Toriyama.

Had my first doctor’s appointment and learning (because of the C1 fracture) I narrowly escaped a stroke, paralysis or death is very sobering. Life feels even more precious and valuable now.

I used to endure difficult things in my life and I felt very alone. But I feel so immeasurably loved and supported. I was not prepared for the sheer volume of DMs, calls, texts, visits, etc. I’ll never be able to adequately thank you all.

I hope you all get to know someone like Jon. He was the biggest family man & someone who made me laugh daily. I’ll miss him every day for the rest of my life. I love you, Brodie, and I thank you so much for loving me.

Jeff Hardy is so beloved by his fans and his peers. I’ve never heard a negative word about him & he’s always treated me with such kindness. Just wishing him and his family the very best.

Man…the first dude that took me under his wing when I got signed in 2009. We spent so much of our adult lives together. Praying for Jojo. Praying for his kids. I will miss your laugh & your boyish charm, my friend. Goodbye, Windham.

For those desirous of an update, my C1 apparently isn’t healing optimally. I’ll spend another 4-6 weeks in a brace in hopes that I can avoid a fusion. But don’t you fret! I’ve got a tremendous support system & what shall be shall be.

I love this man like he birthed me!

Glad so many people miss and love my brother like I do.

Family forever.

Love.

Praying for Hangman.

I cried with so many grown men as we told each other “I love you” the last two days. This industry can be dark and callous but it can also be beautiful & resilient. I hope losing Brodie gives us something great & meaningful.

Update! My C1 isn’t ossifying (forming bone) quite yet. The current plan is to get more scans at the one year mark & see how it’s progressing. The great news is I feel tremendous & surgery is off the table.

Happy birthday, my brother. We still remember you. We still love you. We still miss you.

The black women in this industry face a regular barrage of racism & misogyny from “fans.” And have for far too long. You cannot diminish their light. You cannot erase their contributions to this industry.

Windham was a state champion wrestler in high school & grew up a couple counties over from me. We were supposed to wrestle at a dual meet during the 2002-2003 season. I was at 215 and he was a very powerful & skilled heavyweight. I didn’t want to bump up and we both accepted

Love you, Brodie. And I miss you dearly.

I still miss my friend very much. Thank you for leaving an incredible legacy as a man. Love you forever, Brodie.

The kids are alright.

2 years ago today.

Let’s let that cat out of the bag…I intend on cashing in my Money in the Bank contract tonight and cashing in to become WWE Champion.

I wish I had something more clever to say. Just…thank you all.

A monster. A specimen. A professional. A gentleman.

I hope everyone enjoys [REDACTED] today. I genuinely wish the best for all involved in [REDACTED]!

Where the aunties at?

Before he’d leave to hit the next town or drive home, Brodie would almost always end the conversation with a joking “goodbye, forever.” I always rolled my eyes. As godawful as this has been, I’m glad I got to say goodbye. I never had a better friend.

If you can’t fathom why people are so angry, learn about the 1921 Black Wall Street massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Weeeeeeelllllllllllll….

Five years ago today, we vowed to stop shaking hands & kissing babies. We would then proceed to spend the next five years shaking hands & kissing babies.

My peoples.

Depends on what kind of action.

MAAAAAAAANNN…I have the best friends. I’ll never forget this.

If all these rapper versus wrestler beefs are a clever ploy to bring back a “Def Jam: Fight for NY” style game, I’m all in.

Man, y’all show me so much love & I’m deeply grateful. Thank you for positively shaping my life.

I be bored y’all.

I never forgot.

I like to think of Smackdown as the mouthwash you need after the turd Raw just left in your mouth. (I’d like to think I can get away with this tweet. If not...I was hacked.)

One month (and change) post stem cell infusion update.

If I didn’t know him, I’d think, “What a beautiful panhandler!” (I’ve reached the “laugh to keep from crying” stage of grief.)

BIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAANNNNCCCCAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

My tweets are cries for help. But like...don’t talk to me or touch me or interact with me, though. Help me...but leave me alone.

Three years ago, we lost a man who made me laugh a lot. I mean…a lot. I hope you all get to make a friend like Jon.

Happy Birthday, Brodie. Miss you daily. Miss you always.

I’m just here for the Velma’s.

We certainly studied & “borrowed” from the Briscoe Brothers. They have left an indelible mark on tag team wrestling. I was blown away by the trilogy with FTR. My deepest condolences to Jay Briscoe’s loved ones.

A Decade.

I lit up every time I saw this man! Tim White often was the man tasked with shepherding us at appearances and conventions the last several years. He was always extraordinarily kind and warm. I will miss you, my friend. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

After Brodie’s bumping days were over, he really wanted to travel the world to scout talent and get them signed. He’d worked everywhere and could relate to so many facets of the career of a pro wrestler. He would have excelled at it.

Goodbye, my friend. My thoughts are with Shad’s family. I can’t fathom their loss.

Brodie got in really great shape the last couple years. Lost a lot of weight and loved hitting the peloton hard. We liked to tease him for having a swimmer’s body but we were proud of him for working hard on his body.

Me, at all the functions:

What an absurdly talented pair of partners! I won the wrestling lottery when I got to team with these two. Massive congrats, my brothers! Love y’all to death.

Brodie once texted me this magazine spread of him looking real good & me being stretched.

When I find my matching hat, it’s over for y’all.

Sometimes, in the bathroom, I lift my shirt to see if abs are coming in, and if someone walks in, I pretend to have just been playing with myself. Rather people think I’m horny instead of vain, you know?

Even when I’m not at work, I watch tv standing and angled from the side like I was taught to.

Oh, we can cuss on this app?! As soon as I get word I have impunity, I’m going to @ all my coworkers who can S my F’ing D from the back.

This is literally me.

I only have a Twitter to document my mental decline & eventual demise.

Sometimes you forget the dude you’ve goofed off with for the last 4+ years is a legend. Putting in an actual hour against (and DEFEATING) world champs & future HOFers was awe inspiring & humbling. Last night was one we will never forget.

Jon used to tell people he played offensive tackle at Notre Dame & blocked for Tony Rice in the ‘80s. Just to pop himself. And me.

Five (yes, FIVE!) years ago today, I stared blankly into your homes for the first time.
