An integral part of New Japan, Jeff Cobb has become a main-stay and reliable member of the roster and the wrestling world at large. An outstanding reputation as one of the best wrestlers in the world today, whilst Cobb’s feats of strength and dazzling athleticism in the ring always impresses, his entertainment and creativity equals his in-ring ability. There’s never a doubt that when Cobb steps into the ring he’s going to impress, a comfortable guarantee of excellence in a turbulent wrestling world.

In this interview, Cobb discusses all aspects of his wrestling ability; from his inhuman strength and variations of Tour of the Islands to the creativity involved in his entertaining backstage comments, as well as not enjoying being on the receiving end of suplexes and his amateur wrestling pedigree.
