    Eric Simbuera I agree and I hate how people criticize her for who she is like if she is bi polar people put pressure on her it’s ok to be bi polar but it’s NOT ok to talk about her or any person about being bi polar.

    AJ is so fucking gorgeous and so down to earth. It sucks so bad that she isn’t gonna wrestle anymore. I’ve been watching so many videos of her in her most memorable moments and just moments with her in general and it’s sad to know she’s not doing that anymore. Like there’s a part that’s missing now. Regardless, she is the best diva out there and will always be. I love her to death and she will never be replaced.
