"(The tryout) was one of the coolest things I've done in my life," Cobb said. "Being able to be there and seeing these guys you see on TV, seeing these legends that are there watching you do your craft and giving me feedback. It's amazing... The Olympics is one thing and pro wrestling is another thing. Both experiences are my top two so far, personal and professional."
