Along with several other participants in NBC The Titan Games, Robbie E (Robert Strauss) was featured in a write-up for yesterday’s New York Post. The article breaks down the competitors via three factors: Routine, biggest obstacle & motivation. Robbie E’s attributes are below:
Routine: As a pro wrestler, there is no offseason for Strauss. He travels to his matches on the weekends so he can be a stay-at-home dad during the week to twin sons Cash and Carter, 2. He brings the boys to the gym with him for two hours every day while his wife works. Luckily, his gym has day care. “They play while I work out,” Strauss says. At home, he’ll squat with the tots — one in each hand — for an extra sweat.
Biggest obstacle: The 5-foot-9 athlete is used to scripted pro wrestling — so he needed to change his mindset for this competition. “When I go into a match I know who’s going to be the winner and the loser,” he says. “’The Titan Games’ is as real as can be.”
Motivation: Strauss is playing with his family in mind. He has the $100,000 prize earmarked for the future: “I’d put it aside for later for my boys for college,” he says.
