They don’t have the stamina for it, man. They don’t struggle each single weekend… The highest stars over there, they’re catered to a sure approach. That’s nice. That’s nice. That’s their type. That’s what works for them. And, you struggle perhaps a couple of times a 12 months… To struggle over 100 instances a 12 months, make all these cities, nonetheless have the ability to prepare and nonetheless have the ability to do all of the media, it’s an exhausting business.

The purpose Rollins is attempting to make nonetheless stands, although. Regardless of a connection between WWE and UFC, there is not any query the previous requires much more stamina than the latter because of the far busier schedule. UFC fighters cannot compete extra recurrently than they do due to how crushed up their our bodies are after an actual struggle.

That mentioned, it nonetheless takes a particular type of athlete to endure WWE’s schedule and turn into a hit within the firm.
