You’re talking about some of the greatest athletes in the world and the fact that you may, or may not have, had some kind of influence in their young lives and their development. It’s really humbling when you see guys at the top of their game paying respect to you.”

Thus, the wrestler felt he had done something right as two top athletes appreciated his work and contribution.
