A great deal of WWE Superstars, like Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, Baron Corbin, Sheamus, Braun Strowman, The Miz, etc., came from WWE's developmental system, and I've had the privilege of working with them over the years.
For the most part, and even with Miz, the WWE superstars are so good to the fans and everything they do.
My dad and I had such a special connection being WWE Superstars. More than that, we always had each other's backs.
My parents were 30 years older than I was, and my parents had my brother and I ten years apart. My parents grew up in segregation, and they both lived in all-black neighborhoods and grew up with large black families. I didn't have any of that, and I didn't understand feeling so differently and being treated so differently.
Growing up in Cleveland, the first time I went to a WWE event, Cleveland didn't even have an arena. The Cavaliers were playing at the Richfield Coliseum. I would go out there.
My brother and sister had a much worse childhood, I think, because they were older, and they had to deal with a lot more racism because they grew up in the '70s and I grew up more in the '80s. So they had to deal with crosses being burned on their lawn and their dogs being poisoned.
I never would have thought that in a million years that this would have happened, being in WWE and being in a Muppet film. But for some stroke of luck I guess they both did and I'm loving both of them.
I've got good vibes up here in the Akron area, Cleveland area.
I grew up in Cleveland, so my heart got attached at a young age to the freight train of sadness that is Cleveland sports.
When I was on 'The Real World,' I moved back to Cleveland, and I had a choice: My dad was like, 'You should stay in Cleveland and be the big name out here.' I was like, 'But no, Dad, I wanna be a WWE superstar.'
Movies principally require the best of everybody, all at the same time, being the best they can be. Not just like five people being the best they've ever been, and 10 people not being the best they could be. It's like if everybody is either doing their greatest work, or the whole house of cards falls apart.
I grew up in suburban New Jersey in a transitional area that was surrounded by farmland that wasn't being cultivated.
Having grown up in that area, and being like every other kid that grows up in that area, it's John Havlicek, it's Bobby Orr, it's Sam Bam Cunningham, it's names and players like that who you kind of live your dreams through. Having come from there, I'm very proud of the fact I'm from Boston and continue to be proud of that.
I grew up in the Bronx, but in Riverdale - not exactly an area of New York that's known for being rough and tumble.
WWE wants women who are confident and can handle everything that being a WWE Diva comes with like lots of travel and being tough.
I may have been "invisible" tonight on WWE RAW but I'll be "invincible" Thursday night on WWE SUPERSTARS. WWWYKI.
