Macek, an offensive lineman at Duquesne, was part of the WWE tryout during WrestleMania week and he received news on Tuesday that WWE was interested.
In an interview with Trib Live, Macek explained that he has been offered a three-year developmental contract by the company. He shared his reaction to the news by describing how he instantly became quite emotional and accepted the offer then and there.
“Immediately, I started tearing up,” Macek said. “I threw my hands in the air. I said thank you probably 400 times in the span of 10 seconds. Accepted it immediately. It was an unbelievable feeling. It felt so surreal. …This is something I wanted my entire life.”
Macek also made it clear that he’s been a fan of WWE since he was a kid; he named John Cena, Randy Orton, and Triple H as some of the stars he watched.
“I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid. … I’ve always had a passion for the WWE,” Macek said. “I grew up watching John Cena, Randy Orton, Edge, Shawn Michaels, Triple H.”
