Dutch Mantell’s Perspective on Jelly Roll’s Performance
Veteran wrestling figure Dutch Mantell shared insights during a discussion on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge’s UnSKripted podcast, explaining his respect for Jelly Roll’s approach to the match. Mantell suggested that Jelly Roll was actually relieved to lose, believing it was the best outcome given the circumstances. He stated,
“I think, when they gave him the finish, I think he was relieved because he wanted to get beat. Because even his own friends would look at him and say no, you didn’t beat Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre. They’d believe they (Logan and Drew) would beat him. So I think he said this is the best thing to do. And he is not selfish, I will say that for him.” —Dutch Mantell
