WWE's Zelina Vega announced the passing of her Uncle. We send our deepest condolences to Vega and her family.
"This is a post I never thought I’d have to make.. it still doesn’t feel real. How do I say goodbye to my Michael Michael? How do I combine the right words to describe how incredibly amazing he was? I can’t. l’ve tried to keep a happy face on for everyone and the obligations I have.. but l’m heartbroken. He was like a second father to me and I can’t believe we went from celebrating our birthday together last year to where we are today. I went thru losing my dad in 2001 to having the highest anxiety knowing that I’ll have to say goodbye to you at the funeral on Sunday. I just feel so lost and without meaning.
I’m so grateful that l had the BEST uncle a girl could ever hope for. You were there for me in times where no one else was nor would have understood. You supported my dreams and my god was I so excited to FaceTime you when I won the US championship. You cried and were so happy for me, you took pictures with the title belt and wrote about my match in PR at Backlash in your journal with pride.
I’ll never get over how insanely cool you always were, from sleepovers, to bowling to Yankee games, to watching wrestling with me, to putting me on to STP, Elvis, Pearl Jam, Disturbed etc, to singing Plush with you every chance I could.. you were so loved and deserved so much more.
When I hear “MAH ADIDAS” I’ll always think of you. I love the fact that I was the one who gave you that name Michael Michael (bc I couldn’t say uncle when I was little) and it stuck. I’ll forever cherish that sweet 15 video of you telling me that I was more than your niece, I am your daughter. I knew that to be true from the beginning. I felt connected to you always.
The same day you passed, later that night we saved this adorable baby boy kitten off the highway, only 6 weeks old, super sweet, cool and fun, just like you.. so we gave him the middle name of Michael.
I’m glad I got to sing Plush with you one more time, hug and kiss you and tell you I love you. Just like in the room, I didn’t want to leave, nor did I know how to end it.. so I’ll just say this.. I wish I could have you forever. I love you, my Miko Miko. Rest In Paradise with Papa, Joey, my Dad, Eric and grandma."
