Dash Wheeler also gave his thoughts on the matter, confirming that the photos that had leaked online were the real deal:
We sat down and Vince hands us these. I'll put my hand on the Bible, and tell you right now, I laughed out loud in front of everybody. It was me and David, Vince, Bruce Prichard, and Corino. They were all serious, they told us why they thought that would be a good idea.
