The physicality. Listen, that wrestling fake stuff has got to go out the door,
Jelly said.
There’s no fake way to land on a piece of plywood in front of 60,000 people. There’s no fake way to go over a cable rope in front of 65,000 people, man. I broke my pinkie in week one of training by accident. That thing, it’s a constant collision, dude.
