Former WWE champion breaks character to send heartfelt message to fans
A popular WWE heel recently broke character to post a heartfelt social media update. The name in question shared a message of encouragement for the fans.
A-Town Down Under's Austin Theory took to his Instagram account to post pictures of himself holding the WWE United States Championship and the WWA4 Heavyweight Title. In the caption, the 27-year-old noted none of his wrestling achievements would have happened had he shown hesitation.
Theory added that he was no different and had flaws, struggles, and insecurities like everyone else. However, his self-belief helped him realize his dream of being a professional wrestler. He encouraged everyone to chase their dreams.
"If I had hesitated, none of this would’ve happened. So many young people look up to others on social media, but the truth is, I’m no different than you. I’ve got flaws, struggles, insecurities… just like everyone else. I don’t have superpowers. What I do have is belief in myself. I can see the vision even when no one else does, and that’s what’s brought me here. If your dream scares you, good. That means it’s worth chasing. Now go chase it ALL DAY🚀," he wrote.
