2013 was an incredible year for me, and it was unlike any year in my career or life before it. It was a year of learning and growth, as well as a year of great change on both a professional and personal level. It was not without it's ups and downs, but mostly ups. New Years Eve is 1 of 3 times a year that I like to reflect on the year past (my birthday and the anniversary of my wrestling debut being the other two). So I thought, why not do it here with you guys, in more than 140 characters, no less?

I won't babble on and on about what it means to end up in the WWE 11 years after getting started on this amazing journey through the world of pro wrestling, but needless to say that on a professional level this has been a great year.

I have had some of my favourite matches of my career in 2103. The 2/3 falls match with Antonio Cesaro obviously was a huge one for me. The match I had against Jack Swagger, I think flew under the radar a little bit since it was so soon after the 2/3 falls, but it was one of my definitely one of my favourites. My #1 contender match with Adrian Neville was also one that I am extremely proud of. After years of wrestling one of my closest friends and greatest rivals all over the world, what a thrill it was to tear the house down together in the WWE. I would mention my match Bo Dallas for the NXT Championiship too, but I'm still trying to live that one down. I'm sure the eventual rematch will be just as good of a match with a much happier ending!

On a personal level, I want to thank all my fans, old and new, for the support. It sounds corny, but your support means a ton to me and it is truly why I do what I do, and that somehow seems more relevant now more than ever. I'll do my best to make you guys all proud in 2014. We are in this together.
