In an interview with Guampdn.com, Guam Olympic wrestler Jeff Cobb spoke about the tryout he had with WWE on September 4-6 in Orlando, Florida. He competed in the Olympics in 2004 but is now a professional wrestler. Here are highlights:
On how hard the tryouts were: It was pretty much two-a-day workouts of just killing us and seeing if we were going to quit. There was a lot of people that had to sit out for a bit, be it from dizziness, cramping, aches and pains, but everybody made it through the three days, some better than others. Everything was challenging. I took about five ice baths over the three days. It was great, but I was so beat up and sore.”
On why he didn’t use his shooting star press: “They didn’t say, ‘Don’t go to the top rope,’ but they are looking more if you can work. Anybody can go to the top rope and do flips and whatnot, but they want to see if you can tell stories.”
On the final test, a one-minute promo and a match: “It seemed like they liked everything they saw. Hopefully I keep my fingers crossed and something comes out from this. … They didn’t have too much things I could fix, so I’m going to assume that they liked what they saw and hopefully I impressed them.”
