I'm fortunate and happy that I could be at the center of that moment. But like I've said a lot of times in a lot of different interviews, a lot of people came together to make that moment happen. [Xavier] Woods, [Big] E, you know what I mean? My wife, my kids, the WWE Universe, you know what I'm saying? Even, like I said, the people that came before me. The Ron Simmons', the Booker Ts, the Mark Henrys, all the people that put that work in and recognition to stand out. Like, it all culminated at that KofiMania moment.
So to see like, you know, Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes and Oba doing their thing, it really is a beautiful thing to see. I don't want to sit here and say, 'Oh, because I did this now they're doing their thing.' They, I think, were going to be successful regardless. But it is a beautiful thing to see people of color out there doing their thing.
And like you said, Swerve too, man. I've watched his career for a very, very long time. Gotten to know him very well over the years. And really, really happy for his success too. It is a beautiful thing and we are keeping it going. And I love it.
