"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 👀

[@honeyandlavender_]

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.

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! And lastly congrats on being the number 1 book seller I’m sure it’s an awesome read can’t wait to check it out!!

Always appreciate your style, asks a great question and then steps out the way to let them answer unlike so many others while knowing when to interject with follow ups 🙏👊

Indeed. More interviewers should try it. May not work for some but seeing Chris's guests get comfortable and chatty is always a joy.

[@karansridhar1049]

This is a fantastic interview. Some really good questions. P.S you can already see how bad her voice is. Can't imagine how bad it got by the time of her match at Mania. She's an absolute legend for putting up that match with how sick she was in that cold weather

[@gabyo97]

I highly recommend getting audio book, it's so good! Her reading it to you makes a huge difference

[@ojmcclanahan689]

Did she narrate the audio book herself? Hell yeah, Corey Taylor from Slipknot said that's long and brutal process, lol. I could only imagine sitting there for hours on end reading something I wrote out loud. Hats off to her.

[@gabyo97]

@@ojmcclanahan689 yeah she did! She said she had bitten her tongue in a match before reading haha. But yeah reading for hours plus retakes would be so brutal on the throat! But I'm glad they went the extra mile for their books, it's appreciated.

Just ordered it on audible

[@ojmcclanahan689]

@@gabyo97 Oh, absolutely! An audio book can be really effective. One of the best audio books I've ever listen to is Pet Sematary narrated by Michael C. Hall. It's definitely worth the 15 hours and 41 minutes it takes to listen to it, lol.

[@T_T_O_TPOD]

The audio is amazing

[@JMoodyFolk]

Becky is so bright and articulate. Not that I’m surprised - but it’s great to hear her speak at length. She’s obviously very proud of the book, and great questions from CVV as always.

[@ChasingLamely]

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.

[@aaronburgess4442]

[@scottelement]

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.

[@DerrickMims]

Nice! I got into her SHIMMER work back in the late 00s after she had already been forced to retire due to injury. I was so sad we would never get to see her again. Then I remember seeing her on a WWE show around 2015 and almost shouting in my living room, "Hey! That's Rebecca Knox!"

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.

So happy for Becky. I always thought her initial run on the main roster was meant to keep as the fallback plan being brought up with Charlotte and Sasha Banks but compared to the other two, she’s definitely the GOAT out of that group.

Becky was the first female wrestler I felt I could present to my daughter as a role model because I respected the way she worked and the way she presented herself. I still think that of Becky, and so does my daughter.

[@master-of-mind5881]

She’s been doing the rounds lately with these extensive interviews detailing her in-ring career and success. She looks great and her WM match with Mami was awesome.

I first saw Becky Lynch on an indy promotion called Shimmer. But the quality of wrestling didn't feel indy. It felt top-notch. I've never regretted following her progress since that day in 2007.
