“There was a point or two in the Pac/Andrade match where they went outside and I think Pac ended up pulling up to the table right in front of me and he said under his breath, “Tony, what the hell are we doing here?” And it was so much fun that it just hit me when I talk about this match. I don’t know why it hit me, just thinking that that person was the last time he and I ever spoke.”
