Wrestling Dad 99 Report post Posted May 5, 2017 Is football a serious possibility for J'Den, or will he focus on freestyle prep? Also, great news for ATM, who will have an outstanding big man in the room with him. J'Den will be prepping for showdowns with David Taylor, so he will be focused on wrestling hard, conditioning and prepping for world class events. Again, this is really great for ATM.

crazyotto 381 Report post Posted May 7, 2017 Great news. As interested as I was in the thought of J'Den playing football, I was also concerned about the potential for injury. True, he is an elite athlete. However, his inexperience at collegiate level football could have led to injury. great addition to the wrestling staff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
