"I saw Brock in his junior year of college in the NCAA tournament, and Jerry [Brisco] and I both agreed that it had been years since we had seen anyone that big, that quick, that agile, that had that sports entertainment look that you couldn't really take your eyes off of," Ross said.

"The dialogue we had with Brock was very casual," Ross continued. "We said 'focus on your amateur career and your classroom work, and if you win a national championship next year, it will be worth more money to you if you come to WWE.' That conversation came to fruition and he won a national championship, so we were already in place, knocking on his door to provide a college student a career."

- Dolph Ziggler will be appearing at the Cricket Wireless Store at at 746 W Brandon Blvd in Tampa, FL next Monday, June 21st from 11am – 1pm, ahead of that evening's RAW at the Amalie Arena in Tampa.
