Hart to Heart will dig deep to find out what makes these world class influencers tick, their goals and aspirations, their journey to stardom, and the obstacles they overcame to reach their lofty status.

- In a recent Instagram post, Alex Shelley reflects on his IMPACT World Championship win.
Honestly, I intentionally avoided posting for a minute. Because I just don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to thank you, and I can’t reach all the people I want to, but let me do my best: I am misty eyed typing this. Five years ago, my life changed so radically I didn’t know who I was. I lost my home, my identity, my livelihood, many relationships, and I had to start from scratch: mentally, physically, financially. I told myself “This time things will be different. I am going to appreciate everything, every second, and give everything I have to connect with this world, with others, and with myself. And if it doesn’t turn out perfect, that’s okay because I’m taking solace in doing MY best and that’s the only thing I can control.” And it led to so much more than I ever expected, including becoming @impactwrestling World Champion. Pro. Wrestling. Love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you reading this. This is for my generation and everyone who helped us get here or let us influence them. Pro. Wrestling. Love. Sincerely - Time Splitter, Fighting Artist, King of the Independents, Motor City Machine Gun, Working Class Hero, Conduit, Alex Shelley, Patrick.
- Dana Brooke was feeling a little down after the NXT audience turned on her this past Tuesday but Nikki Cross had positive words for her on Twitter.

You don’t.
I adore working with you. I adore watching you.
Don’t let people’s meanness touch your beautiful soul or your hard work, talent and success.
