There is something that transcends the constructs of race, class, gender, titles, or nations. It is something that unites people of all sizes, shapes and colours, from all walks of life and from all corners of the world… …and that is the joy of watching Sami Zayn suffer.
Hellll of a tour! Thank you everyone
