Wow this year (number 6 for Sgt Rock!) I saw more black, and important to me, many MORE Marines supporting us and our effort this year. Few have done this as long as I have and each year it does get better (it is an HONOR to be considered a PRO). I am honored to be a part of the Cage every year and train VERY hard so as not to dissapoint. I came in, ready to rock and roll but had some issues with equipment, that is MY fault. Coming back to SMOKE 700 and not even being able to hear anything is one of my best Cage moments, you guys were not going to let me leave without getting it, thank you! I got to meet so many great folks I dont know where to start. I am good friends with many of the crew, Franky, Byrd and many others, it was great to hang with them again. Michelle does so much guys you all should thank her. Always remember this Corporate doesn't NEED US, they ALLOW US to do our thing, THANK YOU! Next year I look for bigger and better things including my quest for 800, I am sooo close! I am going to break it before the Cage next year and if that happens, well you can look for something so big in the Cage I will keep ya guessin! THanks to Jdawg as always, Eric, man so many people to thank I am afraid I will forget. I get very emotional when it is over until I get back in the gym. I have already laid out my next 18 weeker to a July show, then onto defend my world title, then back to the Cage! It will be here before you know it so START TRAINING NOW! Vinny great job MCing, Alex my fav DJ! Thanks to YOU for being there, without YOU there are no PROS....believe that!!! God bless each and every one of you! For those that stopped me and asked for signed posters and pictures and told me I helped change their life either due to their children being overseas in the USMC or inspiring new gains in the weightroom, it is all MY pleasure and honor! WE ARE FAMILY. We share a passion that most do not understand, but we sure do. Remember this, if you do not know what IT is, you never will......everyone reading this right now, God bless you for knowing and respecting IT.
Semper Fi...SEE YOU IN THE CAGE 2010!!!
