I feel like rest can be overrated sometimes. It's nice to get a couple of days to yourself, to just relax and do whatever you want, but after a couple of days it does become boring so I understand you completely. And if you're not one to sit still, it's not easy. But hey, at least your house is now completely clean. Seems like women really do love watching those true crimes documentaries. Might need to go to one of those Murder Mystery dinner parties now and put your detective skills to the test. Uhm, not sure I'm really obsessed with anything right now. Been a bit too busy to even try and find a new obsession. Once my life slows down, I'll get back to you on that.

Nah, I agree. A couple of days? Amazing. I can catch up on sleep and a few shows. After that? It's downhill from there. At this rate, I'll start one of those ASMR restock and reorganise TikTok accounts. It's good to know there's a few of us that can never really relax, though. And don't come for my true crime documentaries -- I've picked up a couple of nifty detective skills! Whether they're actually useful is another story. A murder mystery dinner sounds right up my street, though. It also sounds like you've earned a bit of downtime yourself. What's takin' up all your time at the minute?

i'm a little biased too since he's my brother so it all works out. i don't think i could ever be a wrestler. i would be afraid of getting hurt and i have asthma and not sure how that would affect me in the ring. i have my inhaler on me at all times during my shows even if you don't see it. i haven't ever been to a show but i have watched it with him a few times. I'll have to come see a show when you get back.

Well, I won't complain about bein' the McRae family's favourite wrestler. Wrestling ain't for everybody and that's cool. It's a massive physical and mental challenge. Plus, you're always finding new bruises that weren't there the day before. It sounds like you've got enough on your plate without me tryin' to convince you to step in the ring. And honestly? I've seen a couple of snippets from your shows. You've got so much energy it's ridiculous. I don't know how you do it, but I've got so much respect. Do you miss touring? And don't worry, I've got ya'! As soon as I'm back, we'll sneak you some tickets.

there's nothing more defeating than going from pushing yourself professionally every single day to basically nothing. i think what you're experiencing is completely normal. i haven't exactly had a proper break in years, but i can kind of imagine how you're feeling. i'm not sure if anything i'm obsessed with would be considered weird, but.. pottery? before you judge, go ahead and blame patrick swayze for that one.

You get it. You get so used to working towards the next thing. As soon as you stop? Your brain doesn't quite know what to do with itself. That's why I'm reorganising even more cupboards. I guess it's true what they say -- no rest for the wicked. Your schedule sounds equally as hectic though. How do ya' cope with the demand? And hey, I ain't judging the pottery obsession too much. I'm a sucker for homemade items especially funky mugs. Patrick Swayze's got a lot to answer for, though. How good is your technique? Are you makin' things people can willingly buy?

Been pretty focused on the wedding. Valerie and I got engaged over the 4th of July weekend. So we've been planning that. I was so shocked she'd planned out so much of it before we even got engaged. But I miss your face chica!

She's that excited to marry you, she already started planning before you actually got engaged? Nah, that's adorable. Congratulations, dude. I'm so happy for you both! Makin' this black heart happy. It's going to be one hell of a day. You've gotta catch me up with everything. How's the planning actually going? Have you guys already set a date? And I miss you too, my favourite Terror Twin. We've gotta catch up real soon.

i was talking to my brother who loves wrestling and he said something about you being his favorite but he was sad you were hurt. i hope you heal up fast.@rheariipley

I might be a little biased but your brother has great taste in professional wrestlers. I appreciate it! And yeah, unfortunately I'm stuck on the sidelines for a bit. Injuries suck, but they're all part of the job. I'm trying to put in the work, heal up and I'll be back causing chaos real soon. What about you? Are you a big wrestling fan, too?

now that i've spent five weeks doing nothing but watching football, how does one move on from the world cup?? do i have to pick a professional team to support now or what? while my team didn't make it too far, i loved wearing my Brazil jersey and repping my culture. does anyone else feel more patriotic while watching sports or is it just me? i haven't felt this Brazilian in a long time. / @limelightblvdstarters

Once you've spent a couple of weeks yelling at the telly and planning your life around match schedules, I don't reckon you can really move on. You've gotta fill that empty void by picking a new club and riding the highs and lows with 'em. And nah, you're definitely not the only one. Think I've been hit with the post-World Cup blues, too. There's just something different about watching your home country compete. It gives you this massive sense of pride. So, keep wearing that shirt proudly. Only four more years 'til the next World Cup, anyway.
