Big win, big fight-times.
Also, Russo is confident Triple H did not tell Chyna he was porking Steph because "he was a nice guy and did not want to hurt Chyna".
Now we are talking about Chyna saying to Russo how she understands falling in and out of love with people, but how she just wants to be told. Communication and honesty are paramount, and it is the lack of full honesty that is hurtful. (Are you listening, Austin?)
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
