Now, Victor, on the latest episode of the t, is talking about the experience of startꦺing the wrestling club and The Surreal moments of WWE Superstars reaching out to him to praise him as well as get involved.
“[The biggest name that's reached out] he biggest being Sasha Banks and the fact that she was like she wants to come to our school, trying to make it happen. I want it to happen,” said Victor. “Ricochet, who I love. Of course, my dude, Carmelo Hayes. He sent [the students] personal videos thanking them. We'll send them like — it was the cutest thing. One kid was like, ‘Can I send Carmelo a message?’ I was like, ‘why is that? I want to tell him that I'm ready to take my state test and I don't miss!’
“Big E, although he didn't see the club, he liked the bulletin board that we made. Same thing with Bianca,” he added. “I don't know if she's seen the video yet. But she's also made a video for the school when I met her. TJ Wilson, who produced the Bianca and Sasha match saw the video.”
Victor also talked about how much it meant for him to know that Shawn Michaels has seen what he does.
“It's surreal. I to even know that he like knows of like what I do. It's crazy, and I told my brother and he was like, ‘No way,’ and I was like, ‘Yes.’ I'll never forget when the first tweet went viral. He messaged me and was like, ‘Do you see this?’ I was like, ‘Yeah,’ I was not expecting that. I didn't expect people to like it the way that I like it. So yeah, it's surreal. Like I said, like Randy Orton to my favorite wrestler, and so to see him in person to like, almost touching and be like, ‘Yo, what's up?’ Like, finally, after all these years.”
