16 Things We Learned From Sasha Banks On Talk Is Jericho

6. Dusty Rhodes

When Chris asks Sasha about her experience with the late NXT trainer and legendary wrestler Dusty Rhodes, she echoes the sentiment of so many others who've felt his positive impact.
"You might make me tear up. Absolutely amazing. I miss him so much, He helped me so much with my character and to be confident. I think that's the most amazing thing I can take away because he never gave up on me and he always believed in me. Anything you needed, you just go to Dusty because he was everybody's grandpa. Legit. It's not the same without him."
She then talks about how he was the king of promos and had an amazing mind for the smallest details that were capable of changing the impact of an entire promo. She said he was constantly coaching her to be "thathier" (sassier minus the trademark Dusty lisp). She says she's so lucky to have been able to work with him and it'll never be the same without him. "Anything you needed, he was there for you."
