Dominik Dijakovic On Why He Stands Out From Other WWE NXT Wrestlers
WWE NXT Superstar Dominik Dijakovic recently spoke with Byron Saxton for the WWE website at this link. Below are highlights:
Prior to your debut, we witnessed a number of vignettes displaying your training techniques while speaking on your beliefs. One of those videos highlighted your willingness to fight for your family. Can you expound on this?
"Family is everything. They gave me life, figuratively and literally. I owe them an unpayable debt. To succeed collectively, you must be willing to sacrifice individually. We will fight for each other and we would die for each other."
You initially had a WWE tryout several years ago before officially signing with NXT in fall 2017. Were there any other notable names at that tryout?
"In June of 2013 I attended the final WWE tryout at Florida Championship Wrestling in Tampa, Fla. I don't know who else was there because I don't waste time worrying about the accomplishments of others as those are distractions which will deter my focus. My goal was to obtain a WWE contract and I failed. In my life, I have failed countless times. Over and over and over again. And that is why Dominik Dijakovic will succeed."
What makes you stand out from other NXT Superstars?
"Dominik Dijakovic is a five-tool player unlike anyone else in NXT, Raw, SmackDown or the history of WWE. Striking ? precision, accuracy and proficiency honed through countless fights and years of training. Technical ? grinding, efficiency. I was trained by Brian Fury at the New England Pro Wrestling Academy, the disciples of Steve Bradley and Killer Kowalski. Psychological ? intelligence, manipulation and focus. I'm a scholar and laborer, impossible to outwork or outlast. Athleticism ? world-class, untouchable. The X factor. Power. I am 6-foot-7, 270 pounds. I am Dominik Dijakovic. Feast your eyes."
