ALWAYS SOCIAL

THANK YOU! That's why I can't get rid of them even if I know I won't be wearing them again. At least not for any matches but it was kind of fun to put them back on for the video. Or maybe I could wear one again as a nod to Mr. Chase next time I have a big match. Or any match.. You liked the Pittsburgh one? It was one of my favorites too for obvious reasons. If I ever get to wrestle at home again maybe I'll bring it back then. ALSO. I guess I'm on a movie kick right now so do you want to see something this weekend?? I kind of want to see that Masters of the Universe movie.

That's understandable. I'm sure others have special gear like that that they want to hang onto for sentimental reasons. Sure it would mean a lot to him if you did wear it again, but I also think he'd be happy seeing you get more opportunities in general. I didn't get to know him like you, but it was clear how close you guys were. I bet you'll get another chance to wrestle at home. It'd be kinda ridiculous for them to have a show there and not bring out the hometown girl. It's been a while since I've gone to the movies so why not? Would tomorrow be alright?

I was there for the shows. I don't really do the cons. Nothing against them but not my thing.

I can't say I blame you. I never did go to wrestling conventions before getting this job, but I've been to a few others and some can be on the crowded and noisy side which can get annoying fast.

Depends.. do you make a habit out of carrying women back to their room after they make the mistake of wearing heels when they aren't used to them? Does there have to be a special occasion? Maybe I wanted to look nice 🙃 But I did want to ask you something.. what are you doing this weekend? Besides the PLE I mean because I know that's happening. You should come to Rockville with me.

No, can't say I do actually. Maybe personal chauffeur would be a better way to put it? You always look nice, Mads. You don't need heels for that. If you like them that's one thing, but I might not always be there to give you a lift back. Rockville? I've heard about it but never really thought of checking it out before. Maybe this would be a good time if only to say I've gone at least once. Will have to miss out Saturday but count me in for the rest.

I would never forget about you. i probably see you now more than ever. Everyone has to eat so I'm a busy guy but I can always work you in. Only bad thing is she works for the competition, she makes everyone pretty.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? True, and it probably isn't very easy trying to keep a roster full of athletes full and happy. I can barely keep up with myself some days so I don't know how you do it. The competition? Guessing that means AEW since TNA is supposed to be more of a partner. It shouldn't be too hard to make things work if you really like her. We aren't on the road or away that much.

really? then it must've been pretty incredible! nerve-wracking because things really do get crazy during big show weekends, but still incredible to experience. and i don't think it matters that you aren't a wrestler—you're still involved with the company and doing work for them, right? we couldn't do shows without everyone who works behind the scenes. i did, and it was very yummy! for some reason pizza always tastes better after a show. 😄

You can say that again. I know the PLEs generally happen every month, but I'm glad WrestleMania only happens once a year. Trying to do things at that level twelve times would be way too much. And it would probably lower the entire experience if it wasn't made out to be such a big deal. I guess you're right about that. Thanks. Nice! Junk food in general is always better after working. Funny how that is.

Was Florida always your home? I miss being back in England. Vegas is a nice distraction for me and my wife though.

Pretty much. I came here for schooling and was lucky enough to not need to move again afterwards. My family still lives in England so I can relate with missing it at times, but I try to go back for the holidays at least. I think Vegas is a good distraction for anyone with all there is to do out there. Were you there for WrestleCon or any of the shows?

When are we going to get together. I miss picking on you. I also want to tell you about this girl I like. You won't believe that she's so pretty and we went out a few times. @sociallyblake

And here I thought you were ready to forget little ol' me after getting a job with AEW. I don't know when you're on the road but my schedule's pretty flexible outside of PLE weekends, so let me know when you're free and we can catch up. Sounds like you're living the life though, heh.

I love traveling but nothing beats being back home in our own beds. Pizza does sound good right about now.

I don't do a lot of traveling so the novelty hasn't worn off just yet, and it's hard not to have a good time in a place like Las Vegas. I do think home is my favorite place though. Pizza never really sounds bad anyway but it is extra nice after big events.

it's always nice to treat yourself after busy weeks, and wrestlemania week seems like it would fit that pretty well. and you can never go wrong with some pizza! that really does sound good, so maybe i'll join in and get some pizza when we're finished with tapings.

That it did, and it probably didn't help much that it was my first WM week on top of it so I felt the pressure. Not that it's anything near what you wrestlers go through whenever you have a big show but the nerves were still going haywire. Did you get your pizza?

Pizza does sound good and they also have dessert pizza if you wanted that.

I've heard of dessert pizza but never actually tried it before. Probably should have changed that, but it'll be something I keep in mind for the next time. Have you had it before? I need to know if it's any good or if I should temper expectations.

Yes 🙃 I guess I'll believe you if you were willing to go that far to prove it.. but you're on thin ice so don't get too comfortable. I might decide to ask for proof at anytime. Are you dressing up for the HOF? I can't remember if the behinds the scenes people do or not. Date? Um. Yeah! Yeah. Right. It's a date. I'll text you in the morning and we can get something early on before all the SmackDown and HOF stuff.

In that case I guess I'll have to stay on top of things. I'll be ready if you ever do decide to call my bluff. Nothing too fancy like what you guys wear, but they do like if we're a bit formal with it. Have to fit the theme, right? Thanks for the invite, Mads. I knew if anyone would know where to get the good coffee it would be you. It was fun and I'm glad we got to hang out.

More excuses 😒 I'm doing World this weekend so I don't have a lot to do until then. You probably have a lot more you have to cover with everything going on, but if you have some free time.. let me know. If you want. You know. I want to film a couple different episodes for my coffee vlog while we're there so maybe we can get some coffee.

Is it an excuse if it's the truth? I can show you my schedule or have someone snap a pic and send it to you to show I'm actually working. You're in luck. I'm more or less free until the Hall of Fame since I don't have to do anything at WWE World. There's gotta be some good places for some coffee around, so yeah I'm down. It's a date.

It's all about the clicks and keeping people invested in us. Technology is such a big part of life. I can't imagine not having, call me spoiled. I think it's a great way to keep up with each other since we all work so much. What do you do when you're not online?

It is, for better and for worse. It's so ingrained in our lives by now that trying to go without really would be kinda weird. At least for longer periods of time, because staying off social media for a day or two every so often is a great way to refresh yourself and remember to live in the moment. I like to watch movies or TV, go running, or play the guitar. What about you?
