"Every time I meet one of these women, they tell me, 'Thank you so much for your matches. It inspired me to be who I am. I just celebrated my 10-year anniversary of the Brooklyn match [against Bayley]. That is the number one match that girls come up to me and say, 'Because of that match, I'm a professional wrestler,' and now I get to wrestle them. It means everything to me, and I can feel the inspiration. I can feel it when I fight them. It is the greatest feeling in the world," Mone said. [H/T: WrestlingInc.]
