WWE.com interview
Gabriel talks to WWE.com about NXT, his favorite wrestlers since childhood and African wrestling being different from American wrestling.
It’s very different. I think the USA is different from anywhere else in the world in fact. You know, South Africa is still a developing country, so we’re a bit behind in terms of the characters, but there’s still a huge variety of in-ring styles. There are so many big guys out there — I’m probably one of the smallest ever — but there are still quite a few high-flyers.
