Please Pray for Matt Capotelli
"Matt Cappotelli (WWE Developmental talent---former WWE Tough Enough 3 winner on MTV) announced in the ring at the Danny Davis Arena in Louisville that he had brain cancer in a long and highly emotional and religious speech.
The 26-year-old OVW champion gave the championship belt back to Danny Davis, saying that he can't do the title justice because he can't defend it. He said that his doctors told him, on a scale of one-to-four, four being the worst, that his cancer was a two. He said he was exploring his options but would be undergoing surgery, and likely chemotherapy. His doctors told him it was too soon to determine whether he would wrestle again. The building was in tears as Cappotelli, who stopped several times, got down and prayed in the ring, and said he would like to get in contact with anyone in pain and try and help them through it. All the wrestlers surrounded the ring as he gave his speech. All of the wrestlers got in the ring with him.
The show ended before 10 p.m. Eastern time, and Cappotelli stayed until past midnight talking to every fan who wanted to talk with him, exchanging addresses, numbers or e-mails, until he had talked with virtually every fan that attended the show."

I can't even begin to explain how I felt after hearing and watching this speech- It's just simply amazing- I cried throughout it. When Matt was on Tough Enough 3, he was truly the only reason I would tune in every week- because I saw a kid with a true love for wrestling. When he won, it was nice to see someone that was so kind-hearted and passionate about wrestling actually get what they deserved. The way Matt carried himself on the show was just awesome- The way he handled what Bob Holly did to him, was just straight up cool as hell. It takes a man to be able to take a beating, that in the first place was uncalled for, then stand up, and shake that person's hand. And Matt did just that. I doubt anyone else on that show would have done what Matt did. Matt is truly an inspiration. Matt doesn't deserve to be put through this, nor does anyone else. But if anyone will be able to stay positive and come out strong from something so difficult, I know Matt can. So keep Matt in your prayers, because I know if you were in the same boat, he would do the same for you.
