Johnny Gargano sends emotional message after major achievement outside WWE
Johnny Gargano delivered a heartwarming message to his fans following an amazing achievement outside of WWE.
Gargano began streaming on Twitch last December 14, 2021, less than two weeks after his WWE contract expired. He became a free agent, but never signed to a different promotion. He re-signed with WWE and returned as a member of the main roster on August 22, 2022.
During his time away from WWE, Gargano was consistently doing streams on Twitch. He also became a father when his son named Quill with Candice LeRae was born. He recently reached a milestone on Twitch with his 100th stream and celebrated it by thanking his fans.
"Hopefully, you guys had a good time," Gargano said. "It was fun hanging out with you. It's been fun for the past 100 streams. It will be fun for the next 100 streams, I promise. I don't plan on ending anytime soon, so I'll see you guys at 200."
Johnny Gargano usually plays video games or interacts with his fans during his stream. It's a tough gig given his schedule with WWE and being a full-time father and husband. However, he enjoys streaming and sees it as a way not to make money but to meet and make his supporters happy.
"I just do this for fun," Gargano said. "I do this because I enjoy hanging out with you guys. I enjoy being able to interact with you. It's something I look forward to every week."
