But I thank everyone for their support.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added, \"They try to keep US down and away from the top spots, but they can&amp;#8217;t ignore the reactions forever. Keep voicing your opinions.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Mick, he claims he's so upset with the WWE, he's going to throw a brick through his TV to protest.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned for that."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
