Listen ""I came so close to my WWE dream" - Nathan Cruz on failing WWE medical and not getting signed to NXT"
Episode Synopsis
In one short, unexpected sentence, British wrestling veteran Nathan Cruz saw his WWE dream vanish in the face of a failed medical and his biggest opponent so far: high blood pressure.
Speaking honestly about the heartbreak and disappointment of coming within touching distance of being signed to a WWE contract, the 'Second II None' competitor spiralled mentally in the wake of the news - and it would be years before he could look back on the experience in a positive light.
On the debut episode of the 'Wrestling Life with Ben Veal' podcast and YouTube series, Nathan shares his experiences and talks about how his friends helped him through tough times.
