mous farewell press conference as well as vintage

This is the remix. TSN and TSN.cas celebration of the 25th anniversary of the trade that sent Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings continued Thursday by having some fun with The Great Ones farewell to Edmonton. Thursday nights SportsCentre saw DJ Steve Porter take on the most indelible soundbyte from Gretzkys trade press conference. Breaking out into tears, The Great One quipped: “I promised Mess I wouldnt do this,” alluding to a promise to teammate Mark Messier that hed keep up a strong exterior when the news of the trade broke. Porter stepped up, taking the memorable clip and turn it into an internet smash. DJ Steve Porter specializes in auto-tune remixes of popular sports soundbytes and commercials. His YouTube channel has garnered almost 33 million views, with his “Press Hop” mash-up of Allen Iversons “Practice” rant and Jim Moras “Playoffs” tirade accounting for over four million views on its own. This Gretzky project, though, holds a special place in Porters heart. "Wayne was the first player I identified with as a kid," Porter told TSNs Cory Woron. "So growing up, he was the man and, as far as this trade goes, it was the most prolific trade in sports history, you could arguably say."
