In a 2021 interview with Metro.co.uk, Wheeler said: ‘I feel like we owe wrestling so much. We had nothing growing up. I can tell you now that if it wasn’t for wrestling – I come from a family of addicts and I would have went that path.
‘It was the easiest path and the one that I knew other than wrestling. If I didn’t have something to hold onto and grasp at to lead me in a different direction I would be… not good.
‘I know that for a fact, because one of my best friends is not here with us anymore because of something like that. I was going in that same direction.
‘Without wrestling, who knows? I wanna leave it better than I found it because I owe it everything.’
