Hornswoggle stated “He goes to our school. Professionally, I won’t train him until he’s 17. [Why 17?] Because our other classes start when they’re 17. One of the Joshes that you met today. Bearded, bigger Josh. He’s my business partner. I’ve known him since I was in third grade, best friends ever since. He’s the head trainer of our school with me, he made a good point to Landon and he goes, you’re gonna have enough of an uphill battle because of who your dad is. No matter what you can be the best out there, but everything’s gonna be the thought of it’s because it’s your dad. You need to already break those barriers. If we start training you early, it’s another thing they can hold against you and hold against us.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
