James is truly an icon to the people who beliefs in him especially his fans, who always cheer on him and expect him to win any match he got into, although he broke his arms on that match that causes his retirement, he is truly a legend in wrestling and an icon to remember.

This reminds me of the saying "Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all". But instead, interchange - fight. ha ha!

He fought, and he had to retire early, but he achieved his greatest passion. And so though his life would be changed, not many can say they have achieved greatness. Nice twist in this story!

The moral of this story is a little bit like the expression "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all," which of course means that even if things end badly, the experience along the way brought joy and fulfillment. James got to live his dream even though it was short-lived.

A lot of sports and skilled activities are very demanding and people often have to retire young. Too bad he had to leave due to injuries that prevented him from doing what he loved, but he certainly went out in glory!
