Bull Buchanan Remembers Brooks Jensen Joining The WWE And Wished He Had Traveled To Japan Before The Pandemic
As Josh Briggs’s partner, Brooks Jensen has established himself as a regular on NXT television.
The two were once NXT Tag Team Champions and spent the majority of the year in a love triangle with Fallon Henley and Kiana James.
Bull Buchanan, a former WWE superstar who was a part of Right To Censor and B-Squared with John Cena, is the father of Jensen.
Buchanan spoke with Wolfie D on LIVE and IN COLOR about his son’s accomplishments.
“It’s going good. I knew since he was a little kid…he had the same look in his eyes that I did when I watched wrestling. I just knew. He’d go to the indie shows with me, get in the ring after, play around. He was about 14 and asked me, ‘Will you train me to be a wrestler?’ ‘Let’s train you to be a referee first.’ To me, if you have the chance and can ref before you start wrestling, it lets you be in the ring and not be the total focal point. It lets them get their feet wet, get out in front of the crowd and say, ‘is this what I want to do?’ He did that for about a year and we’d train in the ring before that. He started getting booked on the indies. He did a thing for EVOLVE before the pandemic, (William) Regal was there, me and Regal talked a little bit. I told him, ‘I want him to get more experience before (he comes to WWE), maybe go to Japan for a minute.’ He was only 18 at the time. After the pandemic shut everything down and things started opening back up, Regal calls me and said, ‘We’d like to bring him in for a tryout.’ ‘Yeah, give it a shot.’ We went down there and it’s been all him since then,”
