Quote from Mike Santana

"I’ve been struggling. I haven’t been consistent on my socials lately, due to trying to maneuver through whatever I’ve been dealing with mentally. Since coming back to wrestling 2 and a half years ago, I’ve been very open and honest about things I’ve gone thru and it’s allowed people to connect with me in a way that has been truly humbling. I’m a firm believer in, everything happens for a reason…A couple days ago, while I was sitting with myself and trying to gather my thoughts. I was sent this video. It helped put alot of things in perspective for me. It reminded me of why I do what I do and why this journey has been so important to me. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS HAVING MY BACK."
