“There’s a really well-known angle in WWE, they have been in Italy, that they had a wrestler planted within the entrance row, named Santino Marella.

“He raises his hand saying, ‘I wish to get my shot’. They put him in there, I feel, towards Umaga. He has an unbelievable second, after which unexpectedly, he’s the man from Italy who was picked out of the gang. It’s nearly the very same factor.

“So, I used to be simply considering, ‘Wow, might you think about if they really planted this child in there and mentioned you be the child who raises his hand and will get the chance to dwell out his dream by doing this’? It’s good.
