I looked at the situation about how they were treating me\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">when I was busting my butt if they are just going to offer not what\u00a0the agreement was than i&#8217;m not going to stick around and be a part of\u00a0it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">-Winning Tough Enough:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"s1\">I was on the SmackDown show.

He never did it again and respected me for who I was.\u00a0Very blessed to have him in my life.
