When Lapp took the timeout, it affected Brian. We thought (Lapp) was pinned.

(Brian) is mentally ready now. Physically, he's in shape, so now he's got it all together.

(Brian) has definitely improved. He's in a little better shape and he knows what he needs to do.

That is when Brian took it upon himself to give the team a little talk, a little speech. He told the players that he was not going to lose this game and they were not, either.

His year didn't end the way we hoped it would. He got down here for the second time and won a match again, he just couldn't quite get to the podium.

Brian's ready, he's excited. He's been there before and has won a match. That should take off some of the pressure.
