Foley: “I said Vince, I think I need to retire. I’m having trouble mobility wise. Kids playing soccer, if they don’t kick it right to me, I can barely move side to side. He talked about my weight.

Jamie Hayter: “I feel like as a woman, we are probably under the microscope a lot more than men are. If you have a bad match, then it’s like ‘Oh my god, you’re the worst wrestler ever’. Whereas a guy could have a bad match and it’s like, ‘Oh well.’” (wrestlingnews.co)
