“Not Sure He Can Perform High-Level 30 Minute Matches”

Coachman continued, “The backstage and in ring promos would be awesome. He doesn’t need to be a top in ring talent because he would need to wrestle at least 3-4 times a month and not sure if he wants to or can perform high level 30 minute matches [that] much.”
