Respect for giving dude a chance :manny:

she said he was her first bf, she didn't have time to date with all that was goin on and she didn't wanna be a thot. I forgot to mention she said she is pretty religious and would spend nights praying for her brother and mother and a better situation
Yea I listened to the podcast. Felt bad hearing about her upbringing

- She was poor growing up. Her father left. Mom had her and her brother who is autistic. They moved around all over the place trying to find him the best help.

- Sasha was made fun of by other kids because of her hair (often times she was the only black girl in school) and because her family lived at a hotel. She would try to have the bus driver drop her off elsewhere.

- When mom got a steady job, Sasha dropped out of high school to stay with her brother. One time her brother nearly died in her arms from a seizure.

- Wrestling was one thing on TV that was her escape. She was a huge fan of Smackdown. She always wanted to wrestle, that's why she's emotional all the time, her upbringing and her life, she said she can't help it.
cant really be mad at the emotional promos and tears anymore:francis:
She said "When I first met him, I thought he was so ugly."

Wrestling fans have a terrible sense of entitlement.

This isn't really just wrestling.

look at what the fans do to all of Justin Bieber's girlfriends.

That's why going back to the '50s, they always told hearthrobs in music/Hollywood to hide their boyfriends/girlfriends/wives/husbands because fans get really territorial.

Imagine if this was in the 90's. The Kliq would literally tear Mikaze apart. Glad wrestling is where it is now.

What do you mean by this?

Joking aside, I think some people underestimate how important having a show on Broadcast TV was to WWE's future in 1999. I know kids who couldn't watch RAW because it was a the first night of the schoolweek or because it ended at 11 but could watch Smackdown.
Me up until like I turned 11 :mjcry:
