One morning I rolled out of bed at 5 am to get a cup of coffee, and Haku was in the lobby getting a cup too. I offered to buy his coffee, and he refused and bought mine and said “I wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for fans like you”. Seriously one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met

Vikingo was in the ring wrestling the main event until 11pm, then took pics & signed autographs for an hour, then finally got changed. Even tho he has a 726am flight home, he took the time/initiative to walk around the locker room picking up every piece of trash before he left.
