AJ Lee is at San Diego Comic Con to promote her own projects, but you know wrestling follows the former WWE Superstar wherever she goes.
While appearing at San Diego Comic Con, Lee was asked if she missed the fan interaction and the physicality of professional wrestling. Lee said those are completely different things, but answered in a very honest way.
“That’s a really interesting question because they are two totally different things,” AJ Lee began. “My fans are like pieces of my family. They have been…my mission in doing everything in the public sphere is to help make people feel less alone and help wonderful weirdos realize that underdogs are cool and we can be the stars of our own stories, and things that you are insecure about can be your greatest strengths in this world. That’s been my mission statement.
“The group of fans that have kept with me these past ten years have helped me feel less alone. I don’t know if they realize that. We sort of share this mission statement in life and I’ve seen them go out and become adults that become wrestlers or get into the mental health field as well. It is the most beautiful thing in the world. I love them and I feel like I stay so close to them, always. They are a piece of my heart.
“I do miss having that direct connection where I can see them every week. The really cool thing is when I do mental health keynote speeches, wrestling fans will show up at these medical conferences. ‘You guys are the most beautiful people in the world.’ It really is a family bond. The physicality, I was so afraid to do Heels. It was the first time I wrestled in eight years and my body bounced right back. It was like riding a bike. A really painful bike. The physicality is fun.” [H/T: Fightful]
