Moose has proven himself to be a true student of the sport.

We've all seen it happen in the past. A big, strong, athletic prospect comes into the wrestling business, after a failed football career but for whatever reason, they just can't grasp the concept. Example, Mojo Rawley is someone who was an outstanding football player, but as we see now, he's just not putting it all together in the WWE. Well, that's not the case with the man they call Moose.
Moose also had a stellar football career, but once things began to unravel for him in the NFL, he started looking towards a possible attempt at making it in professional wrestling. After being trained by Mr. Hughes, Moose slowly worked his way into in-ring action. He started with a light role as a bodyguard at Dragon Gate USA, then eventually made his in-ring debut, while with Jeff Jarrett's GFW. After a successful run with Ring of Honor, Moose found a new home with TNA.
While Moose is still chasing that first major title run, he has approached his promo wrestling career from a steady, methodical standpoint and that seems to work perfectly for him. In 2015, Moose was named PWI Rookie Of The Year and has been on a constant upswing ever since. Moose would fit perfectly into the NXT system for a brief period, before being introduced to the main rosters.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
