WWE Superstar Sasha Banks recently appeared as a guest on Lilian Garcia’s ‘Making Their Way To The Ring’ Podcast to promote next Sunday’s WrestleMania 33 pay-per-view.
During the interview, which you can check out above, “The Boss” spoke with the former longtime WWE ring announcer about how she relates to the late, great WWE Hall Of Famer Eddie Guerrero.
“Just knowing that he did struggle, that he lived in a hotel, I was living in a hotel for three years and that was really hard on me, like in Minnesota, living in a hotel and trying to go to school. I’m crying… kids would make fun of me and I would ask the bus driver to drop me off somewhere else so [the other kids] wouldn’t see me walk to the hotel room,” said Banks. “I couldn’t give out my phone number because they would call the hotel and they’d be like, ‘why are you living in a hotel?’ Like, my mom didn’t have a job at the time. She was dealing with my brother. We had nothing. So for me, seeing his struggle and then seeing his comeuppance.”
Banks continued, “He went through addiction; he got clean; and here he was, when he won that championship, I remember bursting into tears and I was like, ‘oh my God.'”
