Gerald Brisco Comments on Who He Thinks Could Be the Next “John Cena” for the WWE
ESPN held a recent interview with Gerald Brisco and one of the topics discussed involved who Brisco believes could become the next “John Cena” star for the WWE.
“I don’t recruit a prospect unless I think the person has the potential to main event WrestleMania.
In my nearly 50 years in the wrestling business, I have seen only a few wrestlers who have such powerful personalities that when they come into a room, everyone there knows that person has arrived. Jacob Kasper has that type of personality, and he reminds me in many ways of a young John Cena.”
Kasper is currently a collegiate wrestler at Duke University and is the school’s third ever All-American in the sport.
