#ThankYouDean

One last fist bump, 2012-2019.

Cole: *calls it a ddt*

He deserves so much more than what the WWE has given him. He deserves to be happy, the only way I would be happy with him staying is if it was what he truly wanted.

I’m gonna miss him so much more than he could imagine and I hope one day, I’m able to meet him and tell him how much he means to me.

I’m gonna miss him picking fights for the sake of it.

I’m gonna miss his friendship with Roman.

I’m gonna miss his in ring chemistry with Seth.

I’m gonna miss his witty comments.

I’m gonna miss his adorable smile and his lil bounce when he’s excited.

I’m gonna miss the shield messing with each other and having fun with one another.

I’m gonna miss his brotherhood in the shield and what it stood for. His family, they may fight but at the end of the day, they’ll always be the shield.

But I’m glad for his time within the WWE, they gave a messed up kid from Ohio two best friends for life, a brotherhood that can never be broken. That will pick up each other when they’re broken and fix one another, because without each other they couldn’t of made it as far as they did.

He managed to travel the world and have the chance to entertain millions of fans throughout his career.

He got to meet his childhood heroes and live his dream.

He found his wife because of WWE.

Wherever you end up Dean, we’re all so incredible proud of you and love you so god damn much and thank you for everything you’ve given us.

what does wrestling

really mean?
