– WCRB TV has an article here about Chattanooga Mocs captain Gunner Miller receiving a WWE tryout in Orlando today. Miller said that his friendship with The Ultimate Warrior let to him trying his hand at pro wrestling.
“He’s (Ultimate Warrior) telling me you should get a shot and do this. It seems like you have a look and the right physical style for it. I’m thinking it might be cool and realistic,” said Gunner. “I’ve picked off balls, I’ve scored touchdowns, I’ve played at Nebraska in front of 95,000 people and that was the most adrenaline i’ve had at one time until this last match in front of 600 people. So i can’t imagine what it would be like in a WWE match in front of 80,000 people at Wrestle Mania.”
