In a tweet on August 13, Harwood noted that the day marked the 19-year anniversary of his first match. He stated that he loves wrestling to the point of hate, doubt, frustration, and insecurity. Harwood then shared some encouragement, as he wrote that if “a guy who’s 5’10”, bald, chubby, crazy ass accent” can make it, so can others.
19 years ago, today, I wrestled my very first match. I love professional wrestling. Like LOVE it. To the point of hate, doubt, frustration, insecurity, etc.
This is sappy, but, if a guy who’s 5’10”, bald, chubby, crazy ass accent can make it, so can y’all. — Top Guys out pic.twitter.com/8fuJxtlpId
