What they’re saying

“We were always friends, and I always admired him. He was always one of my favorite wrestlers, actually, because number one, we share a similar culture. You know, he's Puerto Rican from the Bronx. I'm a Cuban from Miami. We have that Latino background, but I always felt like he represented and mixed in being Hispanic in the WWE the best way that I've seen.”
