James Wilder Jr. always wanted to follow his father into pro football, but it wasn’t always his activity of choice. Turns out the CFL’s top rookie in 2017 was nominated for the gig, although the WWE didn’t say by whom. But Wilder understands the demands of pro wrestling. “They know I’m playing football, they know that’s my priority, they know I don’t have much wrestling experience but they’re willing to show and teach me. “It’s tough because you have the kids laughing and you have to keep a straight face and stay in character but I think that’s going to help me out.
