Kyle Dake: Thank you all for coming out tonight and asking questions, sorry I couldn’t get to all of them maybe next time! Until then you stay classy!!!

EDT

Kyle Dake: Gymnasts are super athletic and I think that marrying a gymnast is a great way to create athletic freaks such as my brother and sister (I’m the least athletic of the family). However if you already have the gymnastic background (I do) then I don’t see any more of a reason to marry a gymnast over someone else.

EDT

Guest_475: Do you think all wresltlers should marry gymnasts so they create freaks like you?

EDT

Kyle Dake: That is just how I get pumped up, I know the harder I hit their hand the harder I am going to wrestle!!!!! (there have only been bruised palms and a dislocated pinky… that’s why we have two)
