"It's unbelievable" - 35-year-old star comments on what it's like to be a part of major WWE show
Current WWE Superstar Joe Coffey commented on what it's like to be a part of NXT and learn under some of the coaches at the Performance Center.
The 35-year-old star is a member of Gallus, a stable in the developmental brand which includes his brother Mark Coffey and Wolfgang. He also competed in NXT UK before the brand was shut down. WWE's developmental system has developed a lot of stars, some of whom have headlined WrestleMania and become world champions.
During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Joe Coffey opened up about his experience in NXT when asked who he'd go to for advice heading into a British Rounds Rules match.
"The coaching, and just sitting under the knowledge tree in NXT, it's unbelievable. Fit Finlay ... is very well versed — this is his style. This is his match. But I'll also go to some of the other guys ... like Robbie Brookside and Johnny Moss, who might have a few tricks up their sleeve," said Coffey.
He added:
"Terry [Taylor] has been unbelievable. Just sitting, listening to him talk about the business is enough. ... He's helped me become a better professional — the way my body moves and the way I start thinking about different psychology and stuff like that." (H/T Wrestling Inc.)
