Raven is totally correct about the first Sabu match. It was good in
terms of intensity & we did some good stuff. Numerous things about
that matches kept it from being as good as it was hyped up to be. The
lack of either of us actually trying to "win" the match. Actually Sabu
atleast tried a pin attempt with an arabian press, but I'm pretty sure
I made none. The tempo or flow of the match was quite like a race to
the end of the match.

I appreciate having one of my matches being remembered so fondly &
people enjoyed it that much at the time, but I feel like the second
match I had with Sabu 10 years later was a great match. For the both
of us, our better days were supposedly behind us at the time. It's
understandable that people were thinking that, even though it wasn't
the case, due to the "internet wrestling community's" contempt for me
at the time & My lack of inspiration in recent years. The truth is I
had seen better days in terms of quality of work, but only until I had
that 1st match back with Sabu in Philly. Then I knew I loved wrestling
still. I had another decent match with Sabu again, although I could
barely walk to the ring & the match suffered because of it. I really
shouldn't have even gone, but after Sabu gave me that great match &
put me over clean in the middle (in Philly) I was determined to be
able to do my best to return the favor. I had 2 matches with AJ Styles
in TNA that I considered great matches. They were "main event" style
matches. The first one being completely called in the ring. The one we
did on the fly like that was the best of the two. I was proud of still
being able to perform at that level after all that I had been through
over the years.

So the thing is that Better days are still ahead as soon as I decide
they will be. When I decide something , there isn't much that can get
in the way of me doing it. With that said , I have decided that I very
much want to find myself in the middle of a ring, in the middle of
several hundred or several thousand wrestling fans, and making them
feel like they are watching something special. The people are what
truly make it special & it feels just as good in Philly at the ECW
arena as it does in Philly at the Core States Spectrum or whatever
they call the big arenas there now. I was treated with such class by
the fans in Philly that were supposed to be so tough & synical, I will
never forget that. If you would have asked anyone before that how they
would react to me, I am pretty sure that it wouldn't have been the way
they did.
