    This is awesome! I could never understand why Freddie left the WWE, but this really puts it in perspective. I've always had a dream of wanting to work for the WWE. I've applied countless times, sometimes for jobs I'm not even qualified for, because I believe in the company and love what they do and just want to be part of it. But that "trying to win father of the year" comment really puts it in perspective. Wow!

Once CO(N)VID 19 is sorted then NXT will be fully going global - & I've been with them since the start. Future's so bright....gotta wear shades Bro.
