Behind The Scenes Of The WWE Performance Center
As noted, Sam Roberts and Katie Linendoll were recently recording content with Men’s Journal for an in-depth look at the WWE Performance Center.
Men’s Journal posted the accompanying article and video; you can read a few excerpts below:
A few years ago, Paul Levesque (better-known as “Triple H”), who now operates as WWE’s executive vice president of talent, live events, and creative came to the table with the idea of building a 26,000-square-foot facility would serve as a place where WWE could train and create their next crop of sports entertainers. What resulted was less a training ground for in-the-ring entertainment than an Olympic-style facility that built big, agile athletes. After Men’s Journal‘s exclusive tour of the facility, here’s what we found.
The Space
The building is packed with seven wrestling rings (including one designed specifically for practicing aerial maneuvers), a full fitness center with weights, tires, and even kegs for lifting, a medical and physical therapy room, instructional areas where wrestlers practice interviews (or “promos” as they’re known in the industry) against a green screen, a space where commentators and broadcasters can hone their craft, and an entrance ramp identical to the one on WWE TV. It’s all visible to coaches, trainees, and WWE suits.
Wrestle Reaction
Wrestle Reaction went Live right after the August 10th WWE Raw! Hosts Frank Manzo, Joe Omega, and Doug McDonald break down Raw, preview Summerslam Weekend, Dana White’s “Fake” Comment, Daniel Bryan’s Future, Favorite Summerslam matches, and more.
