New WWE Recruit Reveals How Email Led To WWE Tryout, Wanting Match With The Rock

Digital Spy recently interviewed former Rugby player Peter Howard, who began training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida earlier this month. Below are a couple of highlights:

Receiving the tryout:

"I was living in London [when] WWE came to town last May. I had a friend who had a tryout and he asked if he could stay at my place. I approached the WWE, I sent them an email with my sporting CV. They replied to me, said 'Bring some athletic gear and we'll see how you move'. I think from rugby the rolling, the bumping, the falling came quite naturally to me and I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to come out here as an NXT Superstar recruit."

His dream match:

"I think to [go] one on one with The Great One would be a lifetime dream for me, no matter how far off it is."

Howard also talked about The Rock being an inspiration for him, being a WWE fan growing up, the Attitude Era and more. You can check out the full interview by clicking here.
