Like, it’s a six/seven-hour drive there and back and there was just something that we — like, its so cliche. He’s probably never heard me say this word. It’s very soulmate-like, like just as least in wrestling.
“We just understood each other and had the same, kind of, values and kind of the same systems coming from completely different backgrounds. But still understood who we were as people before the wrestling part of it, and I think that just made the wrestling better. Because on the seven-hour drives, we hardly talked about wrestling.
It was very personal and about our lives and about him and about me, and, you know, probably a good chunk of it on those rides, like, he didn’t know I was gay, or whether he knew or wanted to assume. Like, I’m not going to kill him, I don’t want to hurt him, and vice versa’’.
