05:03 | You know, I don't really know what it is I'm gonna say to you tonight. I... ['Please don't go'] |
05:40 | You know, when I was 19 years old, I started doing this stuff and... |
05:47 | At 23 I started coming in to each and every one of your homes, every week. |
05:58 | And the idea of now being 44 and - I don't know - not coming into your homes on that TV set every week is gonna be a little tough to get used to. ['Thank you Shawn'] |
06:34 | You know something? I appreciate you saying 'Thank you', but I have to tell you something: I have to thank you. Because... |
06:48 | You all may not understand this, but for the longest time this ring and all of you was the only thing I had in my life. |
07:00 | It was the only place that I ever felt good about me. |
07:08 | And night in and night out, you guys were the only ones in the world that ever made me like me. And... |
07:33 | You know, I would like to—You know, there are so many people I'd like to thank, but I'm so afraid of doing that for fear I'm gonna forget somebody. |
07:46 | But, I'm just gonna—There's one guy, you know... |
07:53 | Hunter. |
08:03 | I gotta thank Hunter for being my friend when absolutely nobody else in the world wanted to touch me. |
08:13 | There are a lot of people that didn't like me. Many, many years ago. |
08:18 | I was not an easy person to be around. |
08:21 | And Hunter, buddy, you never once left my side. And... |
08:37 | You know, in this line of work—I mean, it's a tough line of work in that everybody talks about how it's tough to have real friendships - and it is. But I tell ya... |
08:46 | Hunter, I thank you so much for the real friendship that I have been able to share with you for the last 16 years. |
09:02 | And another one, and this is really gonna sound strange to you guys, but... |
09:08 | There's a whole lot of people in those big, old trucks out back. |
09:14 | There are these guys here holding the camera. |
09:21 | Michael Cole. Jerry Lawler. And of course, the greatest announcer of all time, Jim Ross. |
09:34 | But I wanna thank all of you guys. |
09:38 | You guys always made me look so much better than I ever really was and I so appreciate that. |
09:48 | And there is a crazy red-headed kid in Stamford, Connecticut, that I also have to thank. |
09:59 | His name is Adam and he is the guy that puts together so much of the videos that you've seen of me over the years. |
10:08 | And I'm telling you, he's the most talented boy I've ever met. |
