He is just the best person ever. So much passion, for his movies/roles, for his fans, and especially for his family. You can see the way he lights up any time he talks about his family and how much he loves his mother; so passionate. This is why he’s been my favorite person for 18 years. Can’t get enough of him

Simone Johnson,, the first ever 4th generation wrestler in WWE.

[@iztheillest]

Joe McKim nah, I think that belongs to Chavo Guerrero. She’d probably be the 2nd tho

[@joemckim1183]

iztheillest How is Chavo Jr a 4th generation? You have Gory as the first generation then Chavo classic, Eddie and Hector as second, then Chavo Jr in third. When Eddie's daughter was briefly in nxt she also would be third. Even Vickie who's only a Guerrero by marriage would fall in the second generation.
