Been a year, swayz, in that time I got to meet you, watched the way you affect the people around you. What's so cool about this sport is that the really great guys in it, the ones that will do anything for anyone because they are in the family, are for the most part not the elite guys that take so much from it. They are the guys that have struggled, and realize that kindness and compassion are not a weakness, but a strength to the human condition. You exemplify, in my view , the fact that giving as much as you can of yourself is just incredibly greater than taking everything that the sport and the people that comprise it have to give, and leaving nothing behind except a breif impression that you were the baddest or the most dominating. The greatest man is the one that helps others, and that makes you pretty great, swayz. Another guy that I met this year that really impressed me in his ability to be a positive in the lives of many is a great elite wrestler, Mr. Akin. Mr. Chenowith also exhibits this trait. to those who give more than they take, may you continue. To those whose present greatness revolves around self, take a page from the books of mr. Sweazy, Akin, and Chenowith. These guys are the real deal, and it has been a pleasure to hang with 'em for however breif it was. Thanks!
