In this interview recently released WWE wrestler Joe Coffey talks about helping Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson train for WrestleMania 40: “I just went up to him and I went, ‘So what do you wanna do?’ And he went, ‘I don’t really know’ and I was like, ‘Well, why don’t we just get in?’ Because being from Glasgow, the word ‘Gallus’ means bold, confident, cocky. So I’m just like, let’s go. I’m excited. I’m excited to get in and work with The Rock in the ring, because I might not ever get that chance – probably not. So we go in and we start putting the match together. It was the tag team match which it was Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes against Rock and Roman. So we’re all playing the different parts. I’m Seth, Mark’s Cody, Wolfy is Roman Reigns and The Rock is The Rock. It was a lot of fun. It was just a lot of fun and we’re just helping and then, after the first couple days – we know our place and are very professional. We’re not gonna touch into someone else’s match but to be fair, Bobby Roode and The Rock said, ‘If you guys have any suggestions, please feel free’ so, it was really nice professionally to be treated like that and you know, we did see a couple things which, little bits did get in the match which was really cool, and it was a great tag match and that whole storyline was just great. We weren’t a part of it but it was just nice to be a part of helping The Rock prepare for that. I think Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, I think Paul Heyman and Seth were supposed to be there at some point but again, their schedules were so crazy. He’s as humble as he comes across in interviews. We got paid on top of our salary for it. We arrived home and there was three and a half thousand pounds worth of the new – I’m sorry – dollars of the new Under Armour Project Rock line, some cases of Teremana, a nice note from him. You couldn’t ask for anything more. Just a top experience.”
Joe Hendry talks about competing at AAA TripleMania Regia: “I had to go to Mexico. Mexico is in the song, so I had to go there. It was honestly incredible. The reaction in Mexico was beyond anything I could’ve expected, the roof blew off the place. In the last year, I had 19.8 thousand Instagram followers. I have over 500,000 (now). The growth has just been insane, and with that growth, you get a lot of good comments, but you also get more criticism than you’re used to. To be in the live arena and to hear the reaction from the fans, that really just reminds me like, right, we’re on the right path here. We’ve got to keep pushing forward. It was a huge honor and a blessing to get that reaction in Mexico.”

AJ Francis says he wants a piece of Oba Femi: “I’ve been saying Oba. I’ve been saying that. Currently, the TNA World Champion is a person who is contracted to NXT. I think it wouldn’t be too crazy of an idea for the NXT World Champion to be contracted to TNA. I know that Oba be bullying these other boys, but he can’t bully me. He can’t throw me around like he do these other boys. He can’t throw me around like he do these other boys. I’m bigger than him. I’m stronger than him. I don’t have as good as accent as him. He’s got better hair than me. In that ring? Come on, man, me and Oba? Let’s talk about it, shout out Trick Willy. I’m going to put Oba out of commission. I’m going to make sure that we can have an NXT Champion that TNA can be proud of.”
