Is Kent Rollins a Cowboy?
Kent was a cowboy in his childhood and grew as such. He rodeoed for about twenty years. However, he retired at the age of thirty-seven. The main reason for his retirement was the hardened terrain which made it difficult to ride the bulls for him. Thus, though Kent Rollins has been a cowboy, he can no longer be called a cowboy by definition since he neither herds cattle nor he rides or rodeos a horse. Still, all his branding revolves around the term cowboy. Even his youtube channel is named ‘Cowboy Kent Rollins’.
