Daniel Vidot spoke with the Courier Mail about signing a new deal with the Super League rugby club Salford after his WWE tryout and more. Check out the highlights:
On getting the call from WWE: “It would be a dream come true to make it in the WWE, it would be a massive achievement, but there is a lot of responsibility and sacrifices I would have to make. It (an approach from WWE) was something I didn’t expect. I got a call out of nowhere, but the trial over there went really well and they were really happy with me. My big journey has only just started.”
On WWE supporting his return to rugby: “The WWE guys said most wrestlers don’t start until their late 20’s, so my time is on my side. I told them I am not finished with football yet and they were very understanding with that. I’ll do my time with Salford and eventually make my trip to the States to become a professional wrestler.”
On his WWE tryout at the Performance Center: “I did some rolls around the ring and got the feel of it. The actual ring and ropes are harder than you think. I got a sore back doing some drills and the blisters on my back from hitting the ropes were so bad I was bleeding for a couple of days. It’s a long process, but it’s nothing new to me being a professional NRL player. it’s a huge challenge, but I like taking on challenges.”
