asianforever621 said right, dreams indeed come true, “I know this made KO’s dreams come true”

barbellsandboats_ said, “KO was selling the f*** out of Austin’s moves. 👏🏾👏🏾. For a guy who is in his late 50s and hasn’t wrestled in 19 years he did pretty damn good. If you told me three months ago that Austin would be working a 20 min match I would think you were insane. Great way to cap off night one.”
