Scottish pro wrestler Noam Dar, who made it to the quarter finals of the WWE Cruiserweight Classic and will be making his WWE Raw debut as a member of the reborn Cruiserweight division, sat down in a farewell interview with The Tag Rope. You can check out the complete interview in the video above, and some transcript highlights featured below, courtesy of thetagrope.com!
On the WWE Performance Center:
“I love everything about it there. I enjoy the mission objective that the Performance Center has, you can really feel it from the second you step through the doors. The coaches, there’s such a variety, it’s so refreshing to have. I’m really happy to be there at this age, it’s a lucky experience to have.”
On who has been helping him working in the US:
“It’s great being over there with Zack Sabre Jr. He’s helped me for years, I’ve known him since I was 14. He helped me with wrestling stuff and adult stuff because I’m terribly immature and he’s very mature, so he’s been a good help over there. Everyone’s so positive and we’re all there to do the same job. Jack Gallagher’s been teaching me how to tie ties. Apparently it’s not just once-twice-through, there’s all sorts, there’s Windsor knots, there’s this, there’s that. That guy’s an encyclopaedia of ties.”
On WWE contacting him for the Cruiserweight Classic:
“If I’m 100% honest, I was playing FIFA at my mate’s house. I was winning, just in case anyone wants to question my FIFA skills! My phone was in my bag, and it was the area code that gave it away that it was a legitimate call. I’m quite thankful I missed out on the initial call because me being the pessimist, I’d have just assumed it was one of my friends doing a prank call. It all happened almost out of nowhere, so it was quite a shock.”
Big Show Plays Destiny on UpUpDownDown

For those wondering what’s up with Big Show, who has only worked a handful of matches on television since WrestleMania 32, he is still working on live events, and recently did the London, Manila and China shows working John Cena.
