"Well, it was a blast," Luger recalled, adding that they made sure to give Rodman some training ahead of time. "Just the day before, we had a ring set up in a warehouse, we went through some things and that was reassuring because we had no [idea] how Rodman would perform and respond, but the way he bumped? He was so compliant as far as what was going to be done, he was great."

Luger further described Rodman's ability and called the basketball legend a natural in the ring and praised him for how easy it was to teach him things in the ring.
