[NOISE] >> Boogs fired up tonight.
Opportunity to win his first championship.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And then it collapsed.
Boogs' knee gave out.
>> My kneecap was high on my leg.
And that's when I knew something was wrong.
[SOUND] When they were bending my knee,
it was like the most excruciating feeling ever.
[SOUND]
[MUSIC]
ripped off the bone.
It ripped off the bone on one side, it ripped off the bone on the other side,
and it ripped all the way through those three full 100% tears the tendon.
>> So when we say six months, I mean six months for you to get back to you.
Six months to get back to kinda you.
Six months to get back to you.
>> Okay. >> So we'll get there.
>> Okay. >> But that's the priority.
>> Okay, >> So, you'll get there.
>> Thank you very much.
>> Thank you.
>> You're so welcome.
>> That's what made it so hard about getting hurt leading up to WrestleMania.
All that moment I'm [SOUND] dead.
Social media is like poison, but it can also be a very good thing.
[MUSIC]
Obviously when I posted about being hurt, I had tons of support.
And then you just upload some stupid thing, but people get a kick out of it and
it's like, man, I could still be an entertainer.
I don't need knees to entertain people.
No music this way, I like it.
You hear all my grunts and groans.
Come on, Rick.
[SOUND] This time off, I have to come back like a bigger, better boogs.
[MUSIC]
Fitness is my life.
[LAUGH] Every iron plate need a performance sign.
I love lifting heavy, I love screaming.
[SOUND] My knees are solid right now.
I'm ready to freaking rock.
Yeah, I hit a lot of times to get stronger.
I'm obsessed about this stuff.
But I remember before I got hurt, I was like, man, that weight used to be hard.
Now I'm repping it with ease.
[SOUND] I'm coming back diced, yoked.
I wouldn't jinx it, but I think it's all been very positive at this point, and
I think life is crazy, the universe is crazy, maybe things all happen for
a reason.
[SOUND] Fire.
I'm bigger, I'm better, I'm stronger.
I'm feeling very, very good about coming back
[MUSIC]
>> [INAUDIBLE] Those arms got bigger.
And you think they can get any bigger?
>> Flying here, anticipating the return, all the excitement I'm feeling.
[NOISE] Truth be told, once you're away for so long, you kind of start
to think like, man, I don't know if I'm ready to go back, right?
Cuz you feel so disconnected.
But first ten minutes of seeing people again, to be welcomed back with open arms,
and then just like everything about this whole process, it's fulfilling.
It just shows that I've really missed this.
I'm just very grateful to be here to be given an opportunity to return.
>> Incredible, Boogs is back.
>> I mean, this is like a movie moment.
I'm grateful it all happened.
I think it's made me a better person.
Rick Boogs is enriched because of his last 10 months.
>> Look at this guy.
>> It's been an experience, a positive experience, and I'm so happy to be back.
