Powerhouse Hobbs reminds men that it is ok to cry.
Hobbs is one of the biggest men on the AEW roster, and one of pure confidence when he's in a professional wrestling ring. However, like every other male on the planet, he is human and has emotions.
In a recent clip to highlight mental health, Powerhouse Hobbs discussed emotions and remarked that despite his immense size, he does cry and that he is raising his two sons to know they can also cry.
I grew up in a household being told that boys and men aren't supposed to cry and seeking some type of outside help meant that you're crazy. I've had some trauma in my life being shot, losing my brother, losing my mother about a year ago. And you know, losing my grandparents. So me, I seek outside help. Because me personally, if I keep things bundled in, I'm going to explode and I'm a six foot 2, 270 pound man. And I do cry. And I have two males that I'm raising and I do let them know that it is okay to cry. Yeah, it's just for me, I need that person, someone outside to kind of to give me guidance, to let me know that it is okay, that I'm worth something. And you know, and if I can speak on my personal experiences to even help one person, you know, this big muscular guy, that's this athlete, he cries. Well, it's okay for me to cry. So for anyone watching this, it does get better. I can testify to that, just keep pushing."
