Mojo Rawley Says Top NFL Player "Is Dying" To Wrestle, Zack Ryder Talks Wrestlemania And Scott Hall
WWE Superstars 'The Hype Bros' Mojo Rawley and Zack Ryder recently sat down for an interview earlier this week to promote SmackDown Live in San Diego. In the interview Rawley discusses his relationship with NFL tight end for the New England Patriots Rob Gronkowski, Ryder discusses winning the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania last year, and taking a picture with Scott Hall holding his title. You can check out some highlights here:
Rawley on Rob Gronkowski possibly stepping into the WWE ring:
"The main man Robbie G. Well I played college football with a couple of his brothers, his older brothers Dan and Chris, we all kind of grew up together. We all came up together, we've all been on the grind for a very long time. Trust me we've had that conversation many times and he's dying to get in the ring. I can tell you it won't be while he's in season."
Ryder discusses what it was like to win the Intercontinental Title at Wrestlemania:
"Ever since I was a little kid the only thing I've ever wanted to do was be in the WWE, and not just be on the roster but to be a champion. Not just walk down the aisle and — I was here for ten years and I never walked down that aisle and hear by music play, and I heard it play at Wrestlemania twice. When I walked in and when I won the Intercontinental title. I got goosebumps right now thinking about it. Just climbing up and grabbing that title, and my dad slid in the ring. He's looking at me and I'm looking at him like 'what's going on?' And I'll never forget this stupid Wrestlemania cowboy hat, he put it on my head and I'm like 'what are you doing dad?' In my parent's living room there is a Zack Ryder cardboard cutout with the cowboy hat on, it's incredible. So greatest night of my career and my life, that's the truth."
His picture with Scott Hall after winning the title:
"When I was a little kid, I'd always go to WWE shows and I was a huge fan of Razor Ramon. There is a photo of me holding his Intercontinental title, and I said 'hey, if I win this title at Wrestlemania I'm gonna find Razor — I'm gonna find Scott Hall and he's gonna take a picture with me; and he's gonna hold my title.' And there it is you can't make it up, you can't write that. That's real life, that's a dream come true right there."
