Wardlow has become a known name to the wrestling community after he joined All Elite Wrestling last year and became the bodyguard of MJF.
However, before joining the promotion the heavyweight star tried his luck with WWE as well and he had a failed tryout with the company.
During his recent appearance on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Wardlow opened up about his experience at the WWE tryout and claimed that they weren’t trying to hire wrestlers:
“I know people know that I did have a tryout and I smoked that tryout. I was literally the only dude there in a suit. It was mind blowing. Dudes were there in shorts and T-Shirts. That’s because they are not recruiting wrestlers. They are recruiting ex-NFL athletes or college wrestlers, people that have never watched wrestling and don’t care about wrestling.”
Continuing on the topic, the AEW star revealed how oblivious the people at the tryout were about the wrestling world and many of them had never even watched the sport:
“The comments these people were making made me sick to my stomach that they were there getting an opportunity. Of course, my roommate said, ‘man I’ve never even watched wrestling. I don’t even like it’ and I was like, ‘get out of my room. Why are you here?’ It was his second tryout”
