It's an honor to know you Danielle.

Thanks... it feels like a long time I have been involved (11 years! Almost 1/3 of my life!) but I guess it's nothing compared to the other guys, who have been involved for 25-40 years.

Thanks again to everyone for the kind words. It means a lot to me. The wrestling community is definitely the best part of the sport. I have made so many great bonds and connections, and it's so hard for people outside the sport to understand (my own family doesn't get it, and never will).

I really can't stress how much it means to me. I sort of walked away from wrestling a few months ago with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth, mostly because a lot of political stuff that I had witnessed at a variety of different levels. But it's the community that keeps me tied to the sport and wanting to still stay involved to a certain extent even though I am moving on to other things.

So THANK YOU to all of you for being so awesome, and keeping the friendly community tradition alive, which inspires people to give back to the sport.

Nice going, DH. Very well deserved.

Nice work congrats!!

Awesome job DH.

nice.........count me as one of your biggest fans.

DH - Obviously you have some friends out there! Dart would never ask suspicious questions... I mean do you know him at all?

You definitely deserve it! Keep that in mind.

I think a good noodlin' trip is in order for celebration?

Congratulations Danielle!
