According to ElNuevoDia.com, Puerto Rican Olympic wrestler Jaime Espinal says he has been offered an “interesting” deal with WWE.

Espinal, a former silver medalist in the Olympics, was unable to win the bronze medal in the category of 86 kilos of wrestling at this year’s Rio games.

“I knew my opponent and I knew it was someone who has won me several times. It was impossible not, so I fought with everything,” Espinal said. “I’m a little sad but not heartbroken because I gave everything, and so dies the warriors”.

31 year old Puerto Rican said it will take time to reflect on his future. For now, he says he has an interesting offer with WWE, the wrestling company’s main entertainment in the United States.

“I like it. I am quite charismatic, I think. And I like the public, people. I think I would be fine,” he said about the possibility of entering the WWE.

“I’ll get all offers and see which is the best ever. If (WWE) offers me a more comfortable life and that is the long term makes more sense. If in the struggle (Olympic) offer me things, and it is long term and quieter, as I stay in the fight,” he said.
