“And I knew If I completely let myself out there and I wasn’t accepted, it would have killed me, I wasn’t there yet mentally. But honestly my friendship inside and outside the ring with Cole, I really learned a lot as far as just being more open. Look I still have my bad days right? The entire arena was chanting Tofu at Jay White, and I heard literally one guy say ‘Come on Jay, you got this’ and immediately I was like ‘F**k, does everybody hate me?’ which is insane, but that is how my brain works. And I’m trying to be better, I’m trying to get better. And Adam had a lot to do with that big time as far as me allowing myself to let the fans be a part of this journey with me.”Thank you or whatever. Screw you. Bye. https://t.co/nGyelYlqvL
