In an interview with The Boston Herald to promote his appearance in the new romantic-comedy movie “The Dog Wedding”, WWE Performance Center head coach Matt Bloom commented on landing the role, his WWE Performance Center coaching and more.

Highlights of the interview are below:

On getting the role with no acting experience: “In the ring, I had to be larger than life, but that doesn’t work on camera. I did that in the first scene and when I watched it back, I got nauseous, thank God the director was used to working with people without an acting background and somehow, he pulled something out of me that I didn’t know I had in me.”

On his WWE Performance Center coaching and why it follows the lead of Bill Belichick: “Bill Belichick is incredible and I try to mimic his style. We come in, put in the hard work, we’re no-nonsense and we get things done, I pride myself on that.
