We are back with Sol Ruca talking about how nothing beats the crest of a wave. Then it can all come crashing down with unbelievable force. That explains what Blair Davenport did to her last year. She shredded her ACL and put her on the shelf. Every day she was in the gym, she was thinking about how she would get back at Blair. Rehab sucked, but she is back. She says she is pissed off. Next week is more than a match. It is for every day she couldn't walk or straighten her leg and every day she was on the trainer's table. Next week, I snatch your soul.
