Kevin talks about his family and his cats

AB: Let’s talk about the biggest components of your life right now, your partner and your daughter. Do you want to talk about them?

KS: The whole time that I was going through my nervous breakdown, my partner Anna was the one who got me through that. No matter what stupid stuff I did, she got me through it. We are common law married, but not legally married yet.

We had Emily in 2015. She is just hilarious. I tried not to be that guy that bored everyone by talking about how my daughter put a box on her head. Emily is 4 now. Her favorite wrestlers are AJ Styles and Becky Lynch. She really likes "Jon Moxwey". She can’t pronounce her ls here. She calls wrestling, resting.

AB: That’s surprisingly apt if we look at the rest holds in Randy Orton matches.

KS: She’s also really smart. I could talk about her for hours.

AB: A week or so ago, when we were talking among ourselves while covering SmackDown, you said you had to go and then you told me that she locked herself in a room?

KS: Well yes, we thought she had gotten over the phase of locking doors behind her. She went into our bedroom. I am working in my living room. She is allowed to go in our room as long as she does not lock herself in. It’s a basic lock that could have been opened from the other side with a screwdriver. We did not have a screwdriver and were running around frantically thinking about what we could do. Well, my friend Kenny, (not Omega), was able to open it. She was in there the whole time laughing crazily.

When we ask her what Becky Lynch says, she shouts "I am The Man" at the top of her voice.

AB: You have several cats as pets. Would you like to talk about them?

KS: We have Marley, who is a grey tabby with no tail. He was Anna’s cat and is now ours. He is my nemesis and meows at the top of his lungs for no reason. We also have Ella, who is the prettiest orange lady cat. She is around 3 to 4 years old. We also have her brother Finn, who is black and white. We rescued them when the mother cat gave birth under our hedge. We took two of them home while our friends had the others.

When we got the cats, we had separate rooms for them and wanted to keep them away from Marley until they got used to each other. They escaped somehow and went back to the bushes. I went to look for them and was skulking around under the bushes. My neighbor opened the door and was like "what in the world are you doing?" She thought I was trying to break in for some reason. Eventually, there were a couple of firemen who were walking around and who came and rescued my kitties.

AB: Do you have a message for readers and wrestling fans?

KS: We live in a really good time for wrestling fans right now. We can have both. It does not have to be one or the other. We don’t have to hate the other company. If I had a SEGA Genesis, I could go to my friend's house. I could play Nintendo there, and he could play SEGA here. The Monday Night Wars were different because the shows were at the same time. You had to pick.

There’s no reason to be divided now. There’s only division because people want to feel exclusive. There’s no law that you can’t like the other. There’s so much wrestling you can watch today. Nowadays, NJPW has a streaming service. There’s British Wrestling in WWE as well. We can enjoy all of it.

Also, thanks so much for reading us. It’s amazing to interact with our readers on Twitter. 99% of our fans are super positive and really fun to interact with. This is the biggest reason for doing it.
