The guys have prepared for this night all year and they are going to put on incredible wrestling matches and I am there to not only support their matches but work with the great WWE production team and put on an electrifying show. That means I will be backstage and in the ring creating unforgettable and iconic WrestleMania moments.”
On Social Media – “The platforms of social media are fantastic. I started facebook seven months ago and I started twitter tonight. The facebook platform is one I’m very proud of because it has been inspiring, funny, entertaining and motivating. What I’m most proud of is that anyone can come to the page and not only read my posts but read posts from people all over the world and that’s a really cool thing.”
