Ex-NFL Player Discusses His Training With Booker T & More

In an interview with The Mark Out, former NFL player Brennan Williams spoke about training with Booker T and more. Here are highlights:

On his football career being cut short: “I felt like I could [contribute] up until last week, honestly. I don’t think I started feeling like myself until maybe around last year, micro-fracture is a really slow injury. You spend about six months on crutches, a lot of that on machines and you get a lot of atrophy.”

On making the switch from football to pro wrestling: “I know there could be a stigma for guys who come in like, ‘oh, I’m done with football, let’s try wrestling and get a paycheck.’ There’s a stigma about that and certain people have trouble with that. That’s not me at all, this is a passion of mine. Everybody who’s contacted me since I said I was done with football said to me, ‘This is what you should be doing, I’m surprised it took you so long.”

On going to train with Booker T before WWE: “My original thought was to train with Booker for a couple of months and get my feet wet. That’s exactly what he recommended. I’m a guy who doesn’t like going into situations blind and like I said, I don’t claim to know anything about pro wrestling yet but I plan on knowing a lot in a couple months.”
