00:10I to want to thank the city of Atlanta.
00:12Just incredible wrestling town, so much history here from WCW on.
00:18I had the opportunity to go over to the Great American Bash the other day and walk into center stage.
00:26i so many memories of me walking in that door
00:29for the first time and meeting Dusty
00:31and just everybody
00:33it's just such an amazing place
00:35with so much history, I love it
00:36so Atlanta's one of my favorite cities
00:39to come from
00:39or for us to come here and perform from
00:43I want to thank State Farm Arena specifically
00:47and one of our TKO board members
00:50Steve Koonin
00:51for helping us to be here
00:54and making this all possible
00:55so incredible few days
00:59I want to mention Bill Goldberg first
01:03in an incredible moment last night
01:06I thought capping off a remarkable career
01:08I'm glad that Bill was able to have that
01:12sort of, if that's what it is for him
01:15for a closure moment
01:16and sort of have the last match
01:18you know, at 58 years old
01:21just still bringing an incredible intensity
01:24everything he does
01:26did a great job
01:28and I was happy that he was able to be there
01:30with his family and his friends
01:33and just support him
01:35and see him close out an incredible career
01:38and of course Gunther
01:40just taking it to another level always
01:43just another great match from him
01:45let's talk about evolution
01:48just what a night
01:50incredible start to finish
01:52you know, there was
01:55I wonder if it was six or seven years
01:59since the first evolution
02:01I don't know, you guys know
02:02whatever that is
02:052018
02:06yeah, see, you were wrong, dude
02:09yeah
02:10yeah
02:11don't argue with the woman
02:13in that period of time
02:19and it was talked about tonight
02:21but this, our women's division
02:23the bar for what women do in this industry
02:27all of it has been raised so high
02:30that to some degree
02:33is almost
02:33for me
02:35is
02:35I wasn't even sure
02:37if there was a need
02:38to have
02:39a separate thing
02:40our women now
02:41regularly headline
02:43regularly have main events
02:45regularly steal shows
02:46regularly
02:46do all that stuff

19:59show
19:59it was
19:59a women's
20:00show
20:00yes
20:00but it
20:01was just
20:01an epic
20:01show
