“I love interacting with my fans,” Rollins wrote. “You guys are the best. Your continued support of me and the [Black and Brave Wrestling Academy] enterprise is what keeps our collective heart beating strong. Today a couple of young cats saw my wife and me training in the back of the brick and mortar and stopped by to say hello. Unfortunately, I was right in the middle of a loooooong workout. I was very harsh and abrupt in my candor. For that, I apologize. There’s no excuse for that. If either you folks who I was short with today are reading this, please come back another time. I’d love to apologize in person.”
