AJ is perfection

[@jetnight88]

Eric Cymbura I think it’s disgusting people call mental health people crazy. So judgemental

[@jewel9615]

Yes she is

[@TheHardstyleGuy.]

Eric Simbuera I agree and I hate how people criticize her for who she is like if she is bi polar people put pressure on her it’s ok to be bi polar but it’s NOT ok to talk about her or any person about being bi polar.

[@ecymbura31]

@@TheHardstyleGuy. well whoever criticizes her will get a severe ass kicking from me! AJ is the most wonderful person in this world and she actually cares about people which is hard to find this day in age. People who dont know her are just clueless and braindead

[@ninaj.9918]

I just love listening to AJ. I respect her so much. She's my biggest inspiration and she really helps me through hard times. Her book is amazing. I just love her ❤ Liz also seems to be a sweet person. I loved this interview. Thanks for uploading it!

Aj is lovely

[@sharathranjith8532]

AJ looks kinda different but I'm sad to not see her in WWE anymore. Hope she and CM Punk returns.

[@bioticheart]

TheRobloxBeast// Sharath Ranjith She retired because of a spinal injury. She's not gonna be able to wrestle probably ever again. She's happy now anyway. 😊

[@BYGTraining]

AJ is amazing! So is Liz! She's the comic version of AJ. Very inspired pairing of interviewer and interviewee.

[@aaliyahmagno3061]

I miss Aj 😭😭😭 I have been watching her since I was 4yrs old and now I am 11 yrs old I miss her so much I am litterly crying I went to Wwe for my 6th birthday to see Aj Lee but she wasn't there I was so sad😭😢

[@anthonylamastra8672]

AJ is the strongest, most inspirational, most beautiful person I have ever met. She is a real life super hero and proof that you can accomplish anything if you work hard and believe in yourself.

[@ppdg1ppdg]

My idol!!!!

[@GGMEHD]

This was an amazing discussion. I've never seen an interview actually be such a good discussion as this.

[@issaislandgyal1562]

I love how it seems as two people/friends having a conversation instead of an interview

[@sofiadrosos1308]

Great interview. Thanks for sharing.

[@timothycraigbranch8244]

I love this. I came to this from the notsam page. I'm a 49yr old lifelong wrestling fan & a Christian. Came across AJ's interview with Sam while UTubing in a depressive episode. It's made me realize my depression isn't just a spiritual problem.

[@TrueJoeyBowie]

This is so relatable. AJ is profoundly inspiring.

[@likbeehangkar5944]

Miss Aj Lee

[@matthewsolidum8364]

This good for people who are suffering from mental illness, so that they would get an idea on how to seek help on the people around them. This two is truly gave a deep intellectual conversation about their experiences in which people can relate to.

[@shiovanko7592]

AJ Lee is amazing, she's awesome she inspires people and helps them, i love AJ so much, we all miss her. #ThankYouSoSoMuchAJ

[@zapszapper9105]

Brillant, mental health such a taboo subject, thank you so so somuch Mrs Mendez Brooks for bringing this topic out in the open, And your wrestling character A J Lee, Absolutely brilliant and a cut above the others, you should hit the McMahons, up for contributions to mental Health, you must have made them millions when you were with WWE.

[@jacquelinep8311]

Aj is such a role model I'm also dealing with something somewhat in the same category and watching Aj shows me that I can get through and she's just such an amazing person.

[@gerry9603]

Aj pls come back to the wwe

[@safahassan3263]

I love aj lee and when i come to america I wan,t to be like her and now i live in somalia 😍🤔

[@abdirisackkhalifmirrow3191]

Safa Hassan aj Lee will come back again hope if you want like aj you will be

[@Tomthestarhartnell]

This was my favorite interview, learning about bipolar and hearing the stories from both is very helpful And as a wrestling fan I am happy to hear about AJs life vs shoots on other wrestlers, and that's why this woman is beloved to this day, 💯 class

[@3mptymuwn25]

[@hectorquintanilla1618]

This interview helped me so much. Words cannot explain.

[@yazzlol9584]

She still looks pretty, just more sophisticated

[@arlogriggs6652]

Very proud of them both for putting this together it really helps people in ways they will never understand. Thank you both

[@spiritualwarrior9]

That's great. AJ is an awesome person.

[@jiminsillegirl1916]

This new side of AJ Lee is new to me because when she was in WWE she's kind of crazy and sassy a lot...my opinion. I love AJ and I respect her so much, her personality is so mature and its really new to me and her face is getting mature and she is getting prettier and prettier by day. I love you AJ, please come back to WWE ❤ ❤

[@marev5226]

I love aj Lee and I miss her and it sucks that she left and I didn't know that and I started to notice that she wasn't on TV/KZbin but I hope she comes back I miss u and u were my fav but u left so I hope u read this and I hope you come back. Ps I love u

[@haroonkhan-iy4cu]

AJ has inspired me. She is so adorable, and I find really nice lovely of her to do selfies hug with her fans. I wish I could meet her but I'm in the UK. I hope AJ returns to the wwe so she can face Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch and etc. That would be awesome but it was be really awesome if CM Punk returned. #LoveAJ

[@shamma9594]

I wish aj lee would make a comeback

[@abdirisackkhalifmirrow3191]

I wish also she come back

[@queensheibapetty8976]

This interview let me see the real AJ and how she took a lemon and made lemonade. That's a great way to push herself to let us understand how she works and give her her respect. She's a true G.O.A.T💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🤘🏾

[@demon2051]

She should return Cause I know how much she wanted to take back wrestling and make a change

[@lulumaryyy]

I loved the book so much. Its just one of those books that are worth the read. I love AJ and relate so much to her & I will always miss her in wwe.💙

[@a.p.5342]

AJ is so fucking gorgeous and so down to earth. It sucks so bad that she isn’t gonna wrestle anymore. I’ve been watching so many videos of her in her most memorable moments and just moments with her in general and it’s sad to know she’s not doing that anymore. Like there’s a part that’s missing now. Regardless, she is the best diva out there and will always be. I love her to death and she will never be replaced.

[@clm3888]

She is cute. CM Punk is cool.

[@WeSoFew]

I’m sooo glad her and punk found each other! Talk about a perfect fit!❤️

[@dericmorton9839]

This really was an Awesome interview. I didn't know that my favorite female wrestler of all time was dealing with what I have tried to avoid my whole life. I used watching wrestling to funnel my emotions. I wish I would of followed my dream of being a pro wrestler. I would of been Awesome..... As good as Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, and CM Punk. Especially when you have this disorder like AJ said it's that imaginary world like nothing is impossible !!!!!!

[@newfnshow031]

This lady made this whole interview about her

[@Savagemode09]

I may disagree with what her husband says but I'm sure phil is a decent guy. Aj is like my reflection so it is nice to see someone with similar issues overcome them.
