The one thing, you know, we did mention that you seem to be taking the method acting approach through lockdown. Another thing that came up was I recently found out about the Skull Sessions and acting seminars that's been facilitated apparently for I think both the NXT UK and NXT staff -because if you can't work on in-ring stuff, then you might as well work on everything else. Is that something that you've been doing and if so, how has it helped you?
Yeah. We've had a lot of good exercises and programs that we've been doing. WWE have also put us through a Professional Development Series - which is a weekly Zoom meeting, once a week, to do with a lot of outside stuff, not specifically to wrestling - which is so beneficial.
WWE have... Certainly in the time I've been with WWE, coming up to five years, they've always been so well, so committed to developing the talent personally as well as professionally at any given opportunity - and now that that's been offered during lockdown. It's certainly helped give a lot of structure to days and there's a lot of things we've been able to take from it that I know people are going to implement going forward.
Yeah, definitely - and, actually, when I was doing my research, I was like, "I wonder how long Noam Dar's been in WWE," and I noticed it's been five years, and I was like, "Man, that time has flown by! That's absolutely insane!"
The one thing I need to ask, I know you're active on social media, but I don't know if this is something that you might have seen going round. Someone posted a photo before of a custom WWE Championship with a Star of David on it, saying the dream for them would be to see Noam Dar vs Goldberg at a WWE event in Israel! Did you see that, and what would your reaction to that be?
I haven't seen that! I have... There's been a bunch of comments and tweets and such joking about me vs. Goldberg and I'm completely down for that.
I believe that I would have the homefield advantage there having been born in Israel and I think Bill Goldberg would have a run for his money. I know he's not... I know he's not living a prison lifestyle like I'm living right now - so if we do it the second after lockdown, I know he's not ready.
I think the one thing this has to lead to right now before that is a beard growing competition between yourself and Goldberg, or a FIFA competition and the match in Israel can be the rubber match if he gets one of the wins there!
Here we go!
