"People say dont meet your heroes, their hero wasnt mick foley" 🤘

[@jond2458]

The only thing Mick Foley has ever done that aggravated me was him voicing his political opinions so loudly numerous times. No matter what your politics are you (should) know that you're about alienate some of your fans with differing opinions. He may not care, but he should cause those fans spent their hard earned money supporting him just like the fans that agree with him spent theirs. Also it disappointed me cause I wouldn't have thought he would be one of those celebrities that would do that cause politics are so divisive these days and people that support him do so cause professional wrestling is supposed to be our escape from that shi*! If everybody went to their favorite wrestler to see what politicians they should support i think we'd be in even worse shape than we already are lol, those guys take a lot of hits to the head and many of them don't have an elevator going to the top floor anymore 😂

“Never use a book to get back at anybody” I know a certain someone who released their book recently who did the opposite of that 👀

[@blackguanabana1313]

Ronda? It wasn’t her getting back at anybody. She was abused by her coaches since she was 16; one of them giving her a concussion on purpose. Ronda exposing them and how slimy Vince was is justified. Isn’t that what we do anyways? Her entire career people mocked her for things that none of us truly knew about. And personal events that were also part of the cause of her loses and people that contributed to her mental health decline. That’s why she had to expose why. Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.

Becky is a really cool down to earth person! I love it she has hit all this fame and recognition yet here head isn’t swollen! She doesn’t forget where shes come, she is a humble young lady and it’s lovely to hear her speak! To top it off she still has her deep Irish accent and that makes her even more awesome! Don’t ever forget where you come from and be we forget what got you here! Congrats to you for such a great performance at mania despite you being so sick! Its speaks volumes of your work ethics!

It’s really cool reading things in Becky’s book & knowing you were there for those moments. I saw her win the Supergirls Championship & the majority of her ECCW run. I actually have footage from probably one of THE smallest shows Rebecca Knox did in North America on my KZbin page haha.

[@Karzeon]

I remember when she was touring Japan fighting Bullfight Sora in comedy matches. Like a 18-19 year old video at this point (I guess it's gone). Followed along when I caught on to SHIMMER, remembered when she got on MYSPACE. Like wow! What a journey knowing where she's come from.

So, I knew Becky back in the day (we were on the indies at the same time a lifetime ago) and its amazing to see what she's become. She's somehow changed so much, and yet not at all, all at the same time. It was always very, very obvious that she was crazy smart with a heart the size of Ireland - it's no surprise that she wrote a great book.

[@robertmamea9916]

Becky has always been genuine and straightforward in her approach with anything and everything especially if it's writing her book or in the ring. Honestly her definite highlight was the first with the woman's championship match at WrestleMania. Besides her and Charlotte as part of the four horsewomen she rises above Charlotte that little bit more.

Props to Chris Van Vliet on the grind. Kept at it so long. Even with decisions made to work with a "rival company" at one time. He's now at a point where he can slide in DM's of the Top Tier in Pro Wrestling, & go: "Hey! Wanna talk for a bit on camera?" ... & they go: "A'ight... Bet.".

For me, there is no woman that did it better than Becky Lynch. She is the GOAT in my eyes. Her skills on the ring are amazing, and she is even better on that mic. I can't wait to see what the future holds for THE MAN and i can't wait to read her book.
