He was asked to be a father figure to my two younger sisters. He didn't have to take on that responsibility whatsoever, but he did. That's when I knew we were going to fine from that point on. |
I adore him. I admire him. He has to be my best friend in the entire world. I look him up to him a lot and value his opinions. I respect the shit out of him. He's been there for me since I was 13 years old. I just love him. |
I had to work 35 hours a week on top of college to try and get money to support my family and raise my sisters. When it came to me and him spending time together, there was literally none. The time we spent together was the time we were at college. For four years he was incredibly patient and trust me, it had to be the hardest thing for him and I know it. |
In the earlier days when I was a manager, when introducing myself to workers, since some of them knew I was with Mike, I was being ignored. Completely ignored -- pushed aside; I was basically his shadow. What we decided to do is go into the wrestling business and establish ourselves as individuals, as two separate workers. A lot of people will notice that we are hardly ever together in the backstage environment, mainly because he wants to do his own thing and I want to do my own thing. That helps me establish myself as a worker -- he's his own person, I'm my own person. |
It just got me so curious. I wanted to understand why these guys were willing to put their bodies through this. I sat outside the ring for an entire year before I even put one foot in that ring. |
So many people still talk about it to this day; 'I can't believe you gave him a high-five.' It's just something that we always did to each other backstage that we just carried out to the wedding itself. |
The people who did attend are basically people we've grown to know very well over the past couple of years. Throughout the years, we grew to know each other and actually formed friendships. I also grew to respect those guys basically for respecting me and treating me like one of the guys. A bond was definitely formed. |
This guy pretended to date me and to prove it to his friend Michael, persuaded me to go for a bike ride where conveniently Mike would be. |
This Valentine's Day won't be special at all since I'm working a 12-hour shift. It'll be spent mostly wrestling and training. Quite frankly, we've just been so incredibly busy we haven't had time to think about it. |
When he did, I started laughing. To me it was like 'What? You're kidding me -- little tights and everything?' I just thought the whole thing was just a pure joke like everyone else. It's acting, it's fake, why would you have any interest in that? |
