Quote from Maxxine Dupri

"Of course wrestling's hard. I'm learning a new craft as an adult. Like that's not easy. But that's what I signed up for. I signed up to learn this new craft and try new moves and do it in front of the world, and it's fun. So I do enjoy that. The part that's actually still challenging, but the part that's truly hard, is mentally being away from home. And you're probably so numb to this, but for me, sometimes if I catch a glimpse of something online, I don't do well with that. So that's why I got to stay off X. I'm on Instagram and TikTok. Twitter's where they're really just there. X, sorry, is where they're really there. I've never said something outright like mean about another person that wasn't coming from a place of my own insecurity."
