Yeah I like him a lot I usually hate when wrestlers come to espn because the way they speak to the wrestlers always feels a little off or forced like they’re putting on a front because they clearly don’t watch but this one felt like the guy was actually interested in the convo not just putting on a show because wrestlers are here!
