The entire ceremony hit very close to home having met Tyler and currently battling cancer. Not being an elite caliber wrestler myself,I was excited to be able to be part of a "feature match" on the State Level.
The level of emotions from the retirement of the shoes to the tag team exhibition is like what we see in wrestling tournaments every weekend. You are brought to tears of sadness one moment and then the next those tears are turned to joy and elation.
It was a wonderful experience to be part of something so special, and for all of those who appreciated what was done in honor of Tyler and the whole wrestling community, I now send back my appreciation.
