The Odessa American Newspaper recently interviewed NXT Superstar Curt Stallion, who discussed the experience of NXT compared to 205 Live and getting signed by WWE during the pandemic. Below are some highlights.

Curt Stallion on starting in 205 Live over NXT: “I’m so fortunate that I got to start there. NXT is so heavily produced and 205 Live isn’t as produced as NXT. NXT is very meticulous and they have to get everything down for live television. It’s very professional ran. I commend those guys.”

Stallion on receiving a phone call from WWE while he was visiting a friend’s grave: “It was one of those moments that you see in a movie. I was flabbergasted. I didn’t know if it was real. I was dumbfounded really. After it set in, my eyes started to water up and I knew this was for real.”

Stallion on owing a lot to late wrestler and OSW owner Fred Urban III: “I can only thank Fred Urban, God rest his soul, for having that Odessa training facility. I owe so much to Fred. I wish he was still around to see all of this.”
