Our very own James Frederick seems to be friendly with the family, maybe he could go round and have a word. I did read elsewhere that Ricky had a gif or something on a profile of his where Alberto playfully puts his hands round her throat. No one really knows the truth, either side will put their own spin on it. Unless you're there in person to speak to them and witness their interactions then you can't know if they drink or do drugs or if he's this master controller and she's doing what she's told.
It's still a carny. Wrestling is what it is and I've said for a long time wrestling's image needs to be brought up to date in 2016 and that's just the show part of it, backstage not a lot has changed. It's still carnie's running it and the boys and girls are the same, they're living in hotels and rental cars and whatever locker room they are in that day. The money might be good but they're not living a life of luxury on the road, I would even say most of the fans that are in the arena have had a better nights sleep and a better meal inside them than the performers have had and are probably a lot happier. It's no different than some people working all week and getting hammered all weekend. They're living for that weekend to get drunk and try and block out all their problems then the cycle begins again, need to work, don't like work, problems with people and bills, they block it out again for a few days. I imagine wrestling is the same way, very lonely, very alone, you get your adreniline rush in your match and then you're on your own again and trying to get through another day, all the money in the world but still in budget hotels, still eating at the same places as the general public, same gyms as the general public, same airport ques, same flights, no special treatment. I would think not many people are cut out for that kind of life.
