"A lot of people remember it very well. And, man, the last five years have been a roller coaster. You know, lots of highs, lots of lows, lots of ups and downs, you get it though, the roller coaster it goes like this -- you get it, right?

"And it's not just them. I have really great friends, really great colleagues, to go on that ride with. I have been lucky to have a very loyal following along with me for that ride, and that's you guys. Today reminded me what happened five years ago, when I won the Universal title, so I figured this is a good time to say thank you for being there for the highs for being there for the lows just for being there for the last five years and beyond. Onto the next five."
