Bull James Talks Being Part Of ‘The Last Match’
In an interview with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard, Bull James discussed his experience as part of The Last Match. He worked as one of the production’s wrestling choreographers alongside Afa Anoa’i Jr.
“The Last Match was one of the coolest experiences in my life. It was really, really awesome,” Bull James said. “At first, because of how wrestling is, you don’t know really what you’re getting into.

“That’s just coming from being jilted by the wrestling business for so long, but yeah, man, everybody was so awesome to work with, from Ramin and Amber and obviously Matt Cardona, who I’ve known for years now. Jeremiah, James, and Rachel, the producers, just all the way down. Every single person involved was an absolute pleasure to work with,” James explained. “Basically, I found myself tasked with training the actors to get through wrestling matches. We’ve had about eight days with them, maybe like an hour, hour and a half a day. So it was a tall order, but we pulled it off.”
WrestleZone previously interviewed actor/producer Jeremiah James about The Last Match: A Pro Wrestling Rock Musical.
