Jelly Roll heaps praise on professional wrestlers

The country musician said that training for WWE SummerSlam has taught him a lot about himself. “I gave it everything I had for a couple of months, I dedicated my life to it, and I still can’t crack half of the code, a quarter of the code, that actually is this thing,” Jelly Roll explained.

He also slammed comments about how WWE matches are staged. Talking about the rumors surrounding staged matchups, Jelly Roll said that there was “no fake way” to go over a cable rope or land on a piece of plywood in front of thousands of spectators.
