I spoke with a soldier named Eddie right before I was about to go out for my match. He told me he loved my father and my uncle, Bret Hart, when they were The Hart Foundation back in the 1980s, and that they were his all-time favourite tag team.

Eddie said that, as a kid, he grew up watching WWE and his love for our industry carried on with him later in life all the way to the “Attitude Era,” where he grew to love Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. When times were hard in his life, Eddie would turn on Monday Night Raw each week and find himself jumping out of his seat to boo, cheer and escape whatever it was he was going through in life.

Eddie thanked me and all the WWE Superstars for coming to Naval Base San Diego to perform for him and his fellow soldiers. I stopped him and said “you shouldn’t be thanking me, as we are here to personally thank you and everyone else who gives so much. This is the least we can do to give back!”

Thank you, Eddie, and all of those who sacrifice their lives for our freedom. That is a huge reason I love to perform.
