Gracias a Vince y la WWE pude darme a conocer, obtener estabilidad económica y poner comida en la mesa de mi familia por 10 años. Hoy es un día triste para todos. Vince, gracias por creer en mi. Sin Vince McMahon no existiría Cinta de Oro ni hubiese existido Sin Cara.

You changed the entire entertainment world and how we view that entertainment. From Iraq, to Afghanistan, to the first group to visit the Twin Towers and all the charity work you have funded/supported-you also changed the world for the better. Thank you for everything! #legend https://t.co/K30qNmQI4N

Mind blowing. Never, never thought we’d see the day.
The 2020s has been the most batshit wrestling decade and we’re only a couple years in. I’ll be spending the weekend wildly and recklessly speculating. https://t.co/TAkpxDRASp

Love Vince or hate Vince. Vince took the industry to levels others had tried to and failed. Vince McMahon and WWE allowed me an opportunity to support my family. I'm forever grateful. https://t.co/vdEcYiSjvk

For signing the first Chilean, for giving South American wrestler’s hope that they can sign them in WWE, for the first Latin American tryout, for making the Latino/Hispanic important in your company.
Muchas Gracias. https://t.co/98CleVg2eO— CATALINA GARCIA (@LaCatalinagar) July 22, 2022
