I hug the momma grizzly and then, standing to her right, lift her right arm high. I hold it up for several seconds, then lower it gently, letting it go and blowing some kisses to the crowd. I exit the ring to another ovation and cannot but help but wonder what Joanie was like at her very best. We'll never know how a match would have gone then but it may have been her lifting my weak arm at the end. This may have been my best fought match to date. I'm thrilled but I try to keep my pride in check. Tomorrow is another day and there will be more and more tough opponents soon.
