The best band in the world, bar none!!! I have to thank Gretchen for producing my theme song "Trophy." If anyone wants to know more about the band, PLEASE check out http://www.gretchenland.com . YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

 

     Man, we grew up together, not only as individuals, but also in this business. I learned a lot from you, because you helped me, worked with me, and basically put up with me. I probably wouldn't be where I am today, if I didn't have the help you provided me. You're my friend and most importantly, my brother. Thank you.

 

     Wow, where do I start here? For two years, supported me and put up with me. Granted, I do with things had turned out better, but things happen. And to think, I'd never met you had Tracy Smothers not stolen my bottle of water. We've shared a lot of great times, and you taught me a lot more than I knew going in. I'll forever be grateful for your love, support, and most importantly, your friendship. Thank you for everything.

 

     Andy, you were part of the NCW crew who helped me out when I first moved there from Oklahoma. You, Kurt, the Battens. all had a hand in building me up. Chase...last time I saw you was in Columbia at NWA Main Event...wish we could've worked together a little more. Who knows...one day down the road...we may bump again...

 

     You provided me the opportunity to train in Oklahoma City. I wish I had spent more time there than I did, but for what I did learn from you and a few others there, I am grateful and appreciative.

 

     You know, you can be a real goofy SOB sometimes you know that? But that's just the way we like you. A few "creative differences" threw me off, but you did give me the chance, when that was all I asked for. You provided the opportunity for me to compete, and I thank you.

 

     Great Lakes Championship Wrestling was a real fun time for me. I was deeply saddened to have to endure the closing of that company. You listened to Cayse and was kind enough to bring me in. And for whatever reason, you had the guts to trust me with a live mic on several occasions. I could not have made it to several of the shows had you not helped me out. Thank you.

 

     Wow...I still can't believe both of you are gone...I learned a great deal from both of you, and will be forever grateful for all the moments we had while both of you were still here. I just long for the day when we meet back up in that big ring in the sky...I just have one request....leave an extra pass at the gate, I get a feeling I'll need it!

 

IN LOVING MEMORY OF CAYSE MICHAEL ANDREWS AND AUTUMN NIKKITA (NIKKI) ANDREWS

 

     Who knew that I could've learned what I did from a post midnight trip to the BeachWay Diner in Morehead? I guess it's true that you do learn things anytime, anywhere, even at a roadside diner on KY801!!! Lance, you rock brother, keep up the good work!

 

     Yeah, I know this is starting to turn into quite the little Academy Award speech here, but these are the ones that are most important to me. This one happens to be one of the sole reasons 2003 even existed. The jokes, the long car trips, just the whole picture in general. You were there there for me when nobody else was, and I thank you for putting up with all of that and me way back when. It's been a long and bumpy road, but hey, I finally made it. 

    

     In the short time we've known each other, you've proven just how much of a true friend you can be. You've kept me ticking over the last few months, and we're just havin a blast!!

 

     Okay, it's officially safe to assume that most of the time I think you've lost every last living brain cell in your body. But that's what I love about ya. That and you actually put up with me on a semi-regular basis, even when you're ready to reach out and just strangle me to shut me up. I guess that's what you do best...keep me in check...YEA....GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!!

 

               PS....I CAN STILL PUNK OUT YA BOY!!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Definitely wanna thank Fred Faour, AJ Hoffman and the entire crew over at ESPN 97.5 in Houston for allowing me to be the OFFICIAL WRESTLER OF THE BLITZ!!!

 

     It's real simple, in this business...without you guys, there is no us! We go out night after night and bust our butts to give you the fans your money's worth. It's the mentality of "what I can do to make this fan want to come back and see this again?" We love what we do and we love doing it for you. So I think I can speak for the majority of wrestlers around the world when I say thank you for your support!!!
