@DrainBamager I... hope his cell phone is alright, it would suck if the screen got broken or something
@DrainBamager The man is brilliant on so many levels.
🏻@DrainBamager I love that about him 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@DrainBamager He literally spoke about being the most engrossing performer and the safest worker who doesn’t drop people on their heads. Kayfabe more broken than that guy’s phone.
@DrainBamager That’s a little unnecessary don’t you think
@DrainBamager I'd be honored
