00:03Fellas, can I have a quick second with Ray alone?
00:07Look, Ray, I asked Nick Gullis to come here tonight for a couple reasons,
00:11but the main reason was to talk to you.
00:13Look, we had an awesome match at WrestleMania last year,
00:16but I did it under false pretenses.
00:19And when I put on the El Grande Americano mask,
00:21it was to poke fun at you, to frustrate all the luchadors
00:24that, quite frankly, were giving me so much trouble in the ring.
00:27It was my frustration.
00:29The longer I wore the mask and the more time I spent in Mexico,
00:33I realized this isn't some joke.
00:35Not putting on a costume, you're taking on a responsibility
00:40to a culture, to a people, an entire nation, to the art form
00:44known as Lucha Libre, and I made a mockery of that.
00:48So I flew to Italy tonight to look you in the eye and say I'm sorry.
00:54I don't know if it's tonight, tomorrow, next week,
00:56but I'm asking for forgiveness.
01:00Chad, now you understand what the Lucha Libre culture is about?
01:07I'm losing the mask.
01:09It's painful enough.
01:11I forget you.
01:13But remember, I'm not the only one you offended.
01:18Recuérdalo muy bien.
