PRORODEO World Championship Media Day was a great experience. On Tuesday, May 19, at the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio in Las Vegas, the PRORODEO Sports News was able to pull back the curtain and get to know the 2025 PRCA World Champions even better. Those champions in attendance were Stetson Wright (all-around, bull riding); Rocker Steiner (bareback riding); Tucker Allen (steer wrestling); Andrew Ward (team roping header); Jake Long (team roping heeler); Statler Wright (saddle bronc riding); Riley Webb (tie-down roping); and Kassie Mowry (barrel racing). They all spent time making stops at media stations remi niscing about their gold buckle memories. After the longform interviews, the PRORODEO Sports News took a moment to ask some other questions to some

of the champs that were outside the box. HERE ARE SOME OF NUGGETS THAT CAME FROM THAT INTERACTION. Riley Webb’s favorite cartoon character is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, “Because they are fast.” Actor Webb would want to play him in a movie: Matthew McConaughey. Celebrity Webb would love to meet: Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow Person Webb would love to have dinner with: the late Roy Cooper. Allen’s picks for his steer wrestling football team: Will Lummus, J.D. Struxness, Ty Erickson, and Jacob Elder as linemen, receiver Justin Shaffer, running back Tyler Waguespack, and quarterback Jesse Brown.
