Quote from Persephone

"Oh, my God. That's honestly something so crazy and I think I haven't like fully settled in with the idea in that as a kid, I would watch these people. They were they are stars and I would watch them as a kid and I think, 'Man, these guys are crazy.' I think somewhere I even have a signature from him, but as a kid-kid that I got it and I have to really look for it, but I know I have one there and a bunch of other stars. So now even being an AEW, there are stars that I grew up watching that are now there in front of me and walking past me or even sometimes like will stop me and say, 'Hey, I think this would work,' or giving me their two cents and I love it. It's something really crazy of there are people that I grew up watching that are just great at what they do and now they know who I am and they're either, like Mark, just interested in my work or they're willing to help and give me their piece of advice from the experience that they've had. So honestly, I don't think it's fully settled in yet. But it's honestly been a great experience."
