I noticed that I was stronger than him. Right when I grabbed his wrist, he was going right down to his chest.

I saw it at the districts and I said hey, I have to try this move sometime. And I saw it open up and said I have to try something big.

I came in here with my head up, I didn't want it to end. This is the best thing I have ever done.

I didn't wrestle too badly on my feet. I just couldn't get out. When he grabbed my wrist, I knew I was in trouble. Rudy did a nice job and these types of matches will help me. A loss last year helped me. I'll bounce back.

When something does not insist on being noticed, when we aren't grabbed by the collar or struck on the skull by a presence or an event, we take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude

I get out of bounds and when I'm getting up, somebody pushed me back down. I grabbed the ref to get his attention to say, 'Hey, did you see that?' You are not supposed to touch the ref. I understand that. I wasn't doing it to put him down or anything like that. I put my hand on his back. It was a gesture.
