Stuart Tomlinson Talks Getting Into WWE

Former soccer player Stuart Tomlinson, who now goes by the name Hugo Knox in WWE NXT, recently spoke with Sky Sports and had the following to say about getting into WWE:

“There were try-outs at The O2 Arena in London and WWE contacted me to see if I was interested, probably because they saw my sporting background and my look. The training was tough and there was a lot of cardio-based stuff but I got through it and I’m now here in Orlando, which is the crème de la crème and where everyone wants to be. I’ve left a football dressing room where most lads are skinny and run around for 90 minutes but there are guys here picking me up and throwing me around like I’m a little boy! It’s daunting but it’s a challenge I’m looking forward to succeeding at.”
