Jacob Fatu says Jelly Roll voluntarily "cleaned the whole ring" at the WWE Performance Center after a day of training:
"You see cats come in all the time and just get it in. You seen the transformation in him. But it was more than that.
"When I got out the ring with this guy, and it wasn’t just me, shout out to Stacks, and the other homie. But it was what he did after. When you get done training, you gotta clean the ring, sweep it, spray it down. We all sweaty up in there.
"And I seen this man, he went up to the homie and said, ‘Nah, nah, nah, nah, let me clean it. Tell me what I gotta do.’ And he’s not making a scene about it…
"Bro just cleaned up the whole ring. Did what he had to do, wiped his feet, but also (I) seen the love and the passion.
"Professional wrestling, that’s what I love about this, not only because my family’s in it. But what I seen, what I love about it is professional wrestling brings different colors, different cultures, different backgrounds… Professional wrestling brings us all together."

LeBron James on embracing the Villain role in his career when he changed teams to Miami, compares It to Hulk Hogan joining N.W.O 👀
“I grew up watching Hulk Hogan. At one point Hulk Hogan was like Americas like everyone loved him. What it means to be an American. Then one day, he went to N.W.O. and people couldn’t understand how he tagged up with the enemy. They was like ‘what is going on.’ Everybody just booed him. He went from wearing red and yellow to black and white. One, we’re entertainers as well….. Listen we want to go out and have fun, smile and be happy because that’s what brings us joy. But we can tap into the Joker role if yall make us, now. We can get there too now, and still be able to perform at a high level”
