– We now go Around the Ring with Josh Mathews interviewing Eli Drake. We’re walking around outside the building again, and Drake says he loves sports, but doesn’t really watch them. He’s very competitive. He does like attending sporting events, and wants to go to a Rams game next year. He’s not a big movies guy, but did see the latest Star Wars twice. He loves living in LA, but sees himself buying a farm one day. He’s not a fan of winter, so he’d have to have a winter home if he bought a farm. The LA lifestyle fits him right now, and loves traveling for wrestling. He couldn’t be a desk job guy. It can be stressful traveling, especially in terms of comfort. They joke about not trusting Moose to close the segment.
