He went for a spear and he felt that his knee had separated. Flip talks about how his knee gave out again. He went to the floor because he did not want to do any more damage. You don’t know what is going on right away. If it is an ACL, it is a year. If it is an MCL, it is a few months. When he got the results, he knew his time frame. He was told he would come back in mid-April but he wanted to come back faster. He went through the physical therapy and his knee is healed.

Flip says he saw the people with opportunities for the title fall. He says he did not think Matt Taven would win the title from Jay Lethal. Now it is his turn for the Ring of Honor World Championship.
