A full-length documentary on this would be very interesting to watch :)
WWE already covered it last year.
lol Breaking Ground yeah right
Espn also did a piece on them, it was really good
:D
Yes yes yes
Remember back when Ryback first came onto the scene and they had all those “wrestlers“ go up against him just to see how the crowd would react to him? These are those “wrestlers”.
Same as strowman in 2016
Shotzi and Raquel González were in this. So cool to see them now as rising superstars going into 2021
Shotzi is a tough SoB i love her
All of that hard work just to get buried by Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar or John Cena
Agree, just become a jobber like Apollo Crew and Titus
@@sleekm7maverick374 btw appollo just won us title dont seem like to much of a jobber anymore
@@ElimByRicky3312 He's a jobber. Mid card belts don't matter havent mattered since 2009.
@@jordandennis6794 any title belt is good except 24/7 there is no mid card belt just because everybody wants to be the face of the business like wwe champ doesn't mean anything intercontinental everybody on smack down wants that u.s. title a few people want that and Wwe champion and universal and tag team LOTS OF PEOPLE WANT THOSE
Yeah, same as the people who got pushed to put Over Hogan and Steve austin. This is how Wrestling works.
That's nothing if Vince ended up not liking you :/
+Justin hateswasp hopefully if hhh takes over he can actually give the people who deserve a push
+Zoom Tros
Are you kidding me? HHH, the one who buried countless superstars during his run? Yea, hes "fair", im sure.
KVMINO Tell me one that's homegrown talent, and that's being great right now.
KVMINO tell me one homegrown talent*
Or liking you.
Then you just hop skip and jump to the main event.
Lol imagine having Trips, Regal, and Matt Bloom judging your every move.
😂
Meh.
No pressure
Me: falls walking to the ring
I’d be so nervous
1:44 Alexa in the back just chilling
And all these faces were never seen again....
no they'll get their screentime.
jobbers
I saw Shotzi Blackheart
Need 3 n 5 year later
Shotzi is on there
Raquel Gonzalez
I just want to let everybody know that the tryouts can last for 3 intense days. You have no idea how exhausted you can be by the end of it all. To all the people that say wrestling is fake an soooo easy to do: Go to one of those tryouts and see if you can move your body the next day when you wake up!
I'm pretty sure nobody watching this video thinks so.
It is fake though. Taking a few bumps and working out hard doesn't mean wrestling is real, idiot. I hate morons like you who try to shove "wrestling is not fake" down people's throats. If wrestling was real then guys would be knocked out the first 2 minutes in a match just by a single right hand.
***** Are you stupid? I never said taking a bumps doesn't hurt, but these people are trained professionals (like stunt doubles) who were taught how to land PROPERLY... In a ring that's strategically made to be as least painful as possible. Wrestling is not real little boy.
***** When have Eva and Kelly EVER taken a major bump? That's right, never.
When she's got backboobs Eva Marie has taken a few bumps in NXT and Kelly Kelly took several huge bumps during her career. Being powerbombed, thrown off the apron and landing horribly, etc.
Respect to all the wrestlers who put thier body on line for entertainment.
Lies again? Face Of Church
Why respect? They literally chose to do it
You talking like they had no choice, as if it's some public service or charity. Lol.
lol why they are not the military, they get paid big money and they do it for fame and riches
5 years since Raquel González arrived at the performance Center and look at her now as the NXT women's champion, great Raquel
Breakout star of SD Women's division.
She’s vanilla
@@ishmael802 your mom's vanilla
Hey man i need some i also want to join wwe pc how it possible
I watched all 1:52 of this, waiting for HHH to run into the ring with a sledgehammer and start plunging the recruits !! How disappointed I was !!
You are not alone, haha
Somewhere in this video, john cena was lurking with a shovel
Roman Reigns*******
in the dark corners
But you couldn't see him.
GJ Battles sadly we have thats why w.w.e has been horrible since 2008 cause of him
He was whispering to his magic shovel "Soon. Baby. Soon."
Takes serious drive to become a pro wrestler
Yeah, I think it's 5 years at acting/drama school. I think a bachelor of arts (Drama) at University can get you there too.
Go Teqno Oh
I'm actually training to be a wrestler and yes it bloody does take serious drive
yes so am i, currently i am training for pwa:Plymouth wrestling accosiation
Grooves Gaming is it good for getting spotted there
Regal, Matt Bloon, and HHH seems like a tough crowd, Just having regal stare you down through your whole training
0:57 don't cheat, I want your stomach to the matt.
1:16 she just cheats
He didn’t say don’t cheat
I saw that
I noticed that too but she didn't get reprimanded like the guy did...
@@curtissmith9271 WWF to is being effected by the disastrous 'creative draining trend of hiring/writing plots/characters based on "racial/gender quotas" instead of based purely on individual skill/merit/charisma etc, it maybe isn't as bad as in other things,but its still absolutely one of the many factors for the decline of the WWF the past 12 years or so,its gotta be.
"Atta girl"
This must be for the people who chant "You can't wrestle!"
The most disrespected chant ever coming from mere lazy people.
Totally agree
what about Eva Marie ?
yes u r right.
Brandon Kardashian
Thiustbefor thepeople who
To be a great wrestler you have to have great mic skills that the crowd would get into, have your own special move that is for you, and have a cool entrance song that will have u swag.
The funny thing is the top wrestlers never got over because of technical wrestling skills, but because they knew how to tell stories and get the crowd engaged. Watch Hogan vs Andre WM3. By no standard was the actual wrestling good, but they told a wonderful story because their characters were larger than life and interesting. I don't care how many flips you can do, that won't get you over.
Can't picture Andre the Giant or King Kong Bundy going through this🤔🤔🤔
Coffee Now or more than half the wrestlers on the WWE’s roster in that era, different times
Idiot, Andre The Giant could do a backflip in his younger days, he could bench 700 pounds, these clowns of today have it easy.
@@littlebill4877 ok, boomer.
@@coffeenow2382 I'm 19 years old lol.
Andre the Giant traveled the world, going from territory to territory, working 300 plus days a year for the majority of his nearly 27 years as a professional. The immobile Andre at the end of his career had long since paid more than his share of dues....
Still wondering why Eva Marie isn't anywhere in this video.
Lol
+OX-MAN17 Lol
+OX-MAN17 hhhhh.. wow damn
lol where the hell is she by the way its been a while I haven't seen her neither on nxt neither on the main roster
she's doing house shows. mostly tag matches and such.
How did Eva Marie get through this ?
she didn't.
She didn't
She was on the unaired diva search in 2013.
How do you know she didn't it's just fitness and coachability how do you know she doesn't have that?
Jacob Pickerin Because he is another Eva hater
"We are looking for people who don't think for themselves. People young, dumb and big enough to not understand they are being taken advantage of."
Not too hard to find these days
@@StephenWestSyd specially among whites
@@suraj-op2bx racist
Wheres the part where they take acting classes. Theres gotta be an explanation for all the cringy skits.
Not as cringe as you man
It’s simple, they don’t. That’s the reason they all sound like robots on the mic just reading what their being told, no emotions shown what’s so ever.
actually, some of them DO take acting classes.
c o c o I’m pretty sure they all do, but most value perfecting their in ring moves to the point they feel it’s all they need to get over with the crowd. And people wonder why stars aren’t being built, this is one of the many reasons why
FCW did Acting Classes. OVW did promo training
And PC doesn't do any
Looking for more Roman Reigns food I see
Roman didn't go through anywhere close to this much work, or else he would have been a good wrestler
+Sonadra Wilson ok
Believe what you want to believe.
Believe that!
+herobbarua yet Roman continues having great matches and people still saying he can't wrestle
herobbarua I guess you have never heard of Leakee before
These PC videos are so inspiring and make me wish that a training camp was near where I live. To be a wrestler or not, the training just looks so intense and I really like the motivation from the trainers.
HHH and regal look so unimpressed in the thumbnail
🤣🤣
Poker face, I believe they do as well when someone’s auditioning
They be like 50 percent can be used as jobbers I guess if we run out of wrestler s
TripleH to an aspirant: Can you do a dropkick?
Aspirant: Can you, Sir?
TripleH: ...... Silence
As a triple h fan this is hilarious
Triple H: silence..... kick to the gut and then a Pedigree..... "Does that answer your question?"....
@@josenegron1256 No. A kindergarten can do that Sir
Haha, nice. On the risk of sounding like someone who's taking a funny joke seriously, you should've seen him as Terra Ryzing or Hunter Hearst Helmsley. Spinning wheel kicks for days. Had he stuck with a character where things like dropkicks would make sense, he could probably still pull it off.
@@ESFAndy011LOL you do dropkicks because you can, not because it "makes sense".. bossman and other big men do it because they can. Trips can't do it because he can bodybuild all he wants, he can look like a freaking greek statue, bu underneath all of that is an unathletic, untalented B- worker
If I ever become a wrestler (probably not), I'll start off in the indies then build my self up as a pre-established star. So when I get to the try outs for wwe, I can go through this with experience.
Gaming Lizard 1 start with Olympic wrestling.
same here
My plans exactly
Gaming Lizard 1 that's what every wrestler has to go through before making it to WWE or wherever, you gotta pay you're dues man.
Is it me or is Willian regal terrifying? Hall of fame for sure
He's like the Simon Cowell of the performance center. lmoa
Mr. Regal is the real deal.
It's you
He's really old, its been a long time since I've seen him in wwe 12
He's a man's man.
All this work and emphasis on athleticism. Can you imagine legends like Dusty, Flair, even Hogan going through all this? They are legends to us because of their characters and mic work, how they got us excited with their promos. None of us growing up thought how spectacular athletes Ronnie Garvin or Tully Blanchard were. Yes, they were all good in their ways, but they captured our imaginations or skillfully made us hate them. If today’s WWE wants to push these great athletes on us with personalities of rocks, then that’s exactly why their ratings continue to tank. If we want great athleticism, we have NFL and UFC for that.
Actually Ric Flair did go through some hardcore training, watch his interviews, he left his 2nd day of training and his coach went back after him, back at Flair house and told him "you're not quitting"...Also watch Al Snows shoot interview, all the old school guys went through hell to become pro wrestlers
Exactly, these guys could be the most athletic guys ever but if they don’t have personality or don’t have it on the mic they’re absolutely nothing but another jobber on the roster.
Vince doesn't care about the physical performance , it's the entertainment factor that draws the audience to make the $$$ . Athletes are dime a dozen but entertainers are not .
Good words because it's true.
It's funny because i'm pretty sure A-Train himself couldn't get through most of this without blowing up in 10 minutes.
4 minutes*
😂😂😂😂
They are doing it right and A-Train is still complaining. Damn jerk. 🤦🏻♂️
It’s like getting a bad journeyman boxer to train you to compete for the Heavyweight title. It makes no sense.
He couldn’t have in his “prime” much less now 😂
I UNDERSTAND THAT SHEAMUS IS IN TMNT, DOESNT MEAN THAT'S THE ONLY AD YOU SHOULD REPLAY EVERYTIME I WATCH A WWE VIDEO
He is following you because I had nothing 😆
Something inside of me is saying that they are up-playing this so much.
no up playing, some schools are rougher than others, join a class in your area, there are many, with different styles, its intense but it teach's confidence in a way i cant explain.
Every job loves passion. Only through passion you get ahead in life. No exceptions.
I would love to see more of this. This is a workout I would like to do at home.
Roman Reigns should go try out there.. oh wait :/
yeah hes wwe champ, no reason :) (provides seat for you)
+freddie hall the worst champ in history :/
He fights well. He just doesn't have any move variety and the Spear is OP
+Don_arita I like Rollins but he was HORRENDOUS champion.
You people are remedial, I swear. Roman is a solid wrestler.
They’re not making stars here. Just more robots.
Underrated post. Everything WWE does is scripted.
Just more idiots with no brains 🤦♂️
Are you saying that velveteen dream isn't a star because he was made here
Velveteen Dream? You guys are just stupid
@@J-Lambie Compared to the rock, stone cold, kurt angle, etc. no he's not a star. Most people go the a-tier old era guys when using the term star which isnt fair to the young guys. Wrestling was bigger back getting more viewership then the nba and nfl at times so stars back then really had their names ring outside of the company or even wrestling. WWE has shrunk so much NO ONE will mention velveteen dream outside of the small pro wrestling bubble unfortunately.
I haven't watched the whole video yet. But I love that thumbnail for some reason with trips and Sir William.
Cracksme up every time. Big fat Albert saying we're looking for mobility, agility, flexibility and coach-ability. He couldn't be further from any of those characteristics.
J Mizzy it's not unusual though for people like coaches and PE teachers to be fat
J Mizzy Albert or Giant Bernard in Japan was a very skilled worker in Japan he was just misuses by WWE as usual. Wtf was the point of putting Japanese tattoos all over him when he was an American that went to Japan ? Vince was recycling gimmicks again because that was Hakushi in the early 90s. Then they made him a comedy act with a guy who was known to be one of the worst in ring performers Brodus Clay. When people fail im the WWE 9 times out of 10 its WWEs creative, writers, and Vince himself that are at fault. Think theyd admit that ? No way.
She didn't. There's a conspiracy going on here. It's almost like new trainees are being over trained to the point where when they do show up in television, it would seem as if their hard training was for nothing other than the people in charge getting high off of it.
You never saw him in his early days. He was a beast.
Jessica Cortez. exactly he was a total beast and very agile for his size and weight, a real powerhouse.
Exactly where I'm going after high school 💪🏼 #2K17 #DreamIsComingTrue
Best of luck bro :)
***** thanks homie !
good luck bro!
good luck bro!
Paul Levesque Guy thanks homie !
Shotzi is in this tryout vid.
And after all this, creative will put you on a onesie and make and you dance to cartoon music for a gimmick.
Lol super shreeder
wwe should make more videos like this
Breaking Ground
never
alot of this is bull. if you are humungous they will call you. if you are swole or have personality they will call you.
Well that IS the point. If youre a bit fat they will make you lose weight.
Tell NIA JAX THAT
Mike P for real she literally ate the competition
Imagine the undertaker or Kevin Nash doing all this to "try out"
@@vancebouaphakeo3655 Right. Nash would just jackknife the coach, then undertaker would give him a last ride, then they would drop their business cards and walk out, without saying a word.
Coach is Albert Train...A-TRAIN😊😊😊
0:28 Raquel Gonzalez
1:22 Shotzi Blackheart
At least these people are following their passion and trying to achieve their dream rather then sitting down criticizing. I admire them for that.
Its like everything in life, it's always more involved then it looks. They're very tough pro wrestlers.
Cool vid.
I went to see an NXT event in my hometown back in Sept. and the men and women how wrestled there have my eternal respect for what they do in the ring. In some ways, they make me want to do what they're doing!!!!!
I tried out for the WWE back in 2017 and I made it through and was offered a lucrative contract. Wiped the floor with them
I saw Raquel and Shotiz!!! ❤
the fact that Prince Albert is a ring instructor is comical
Ryan Ryann why comical, Cause in Japan he was the Man besides he has years of training and experience. Check out his wiki page.
Kadrien Parnell I know all about prince albert, trust me. he's simply not a talented wrestler in my opinion. experience though, sure.
Ryan Ryann Don't worry, I caught the Pun in your comment, as in "Ring" and Pr... 😂
You don´t need to be a talented wrestler, Shawn michales wasn´t a good profesor either, you need to have experience (wich he has in both continents) and to be a good teacher.
They could call almost anyone to be there but they choose him.
@@Motorata661 your crazy shawn michaels is a top 10 all time
0:43 Love hhh but he's like "who to bury next" lol
Seeing Trips standing there and staring at you while you train.. talk about pressure lol
WWE has been a big inspiration in my life. Been watching since i was 6 and now im 27 ✌
1:33 When you see the shovel
one day i want to let my dream come true to stand there training for nxt
We're here supporting you buddy. I'm an American Professional Wrestler in my grandfathers business, we have a few training facilities if you want to stop by and get a session in. I'll let you go free for the first 4 weeks to see if you can handle it and go from there, we can shape you into a great wrestler and our business is connected with WWE, so if they are searching, they'll pass through us to look for future superstars to train.
I'm just a wrestler in it though, my grandfather passed and my father owns it now. He will pass it onto me when he passes. It's a family thing, only handed down to the men but I'll hand it down to my daughter to break that sexist tradition.
Anyway, hit me up on my CZcams Inbox if you're interested buddy.
(PS: I have worked with 4 WWE Superstars before, check out the about section on my CZcams Channel to see who they were).
Regards,
Douglas Brown.
I know that feeling and I hope u succeed
Me too
same
me too
Awesome! GOD BLESS Them All.
Lord Tensai!! That's badass!! If I was in better physical shape would love to try this out!
Did i just see William Regal...that just made my day
Watch NXT...He's on every week.
You dont watch NXT huh?
He works as a real-life trainer and talent scout.
Wut
Ezekiel V he's the COO of fuckig NXT
the girl with the green hair had a good look and looked pretty agile
I believe she was on Tough Enough, but was forced to drop out do to some medical tests. She had promise, so they told her if she got it cleared up, they'll give her another shot. Happy to see her back!
+Mark Silva (AgitoGeist) that's what i was thinking .. She had such a passion for it but then she had something wrong with her heart so she had to give it up
really?
You need to make this video a full television series! An inside look at creating a superstar! This could be the next big thing WWE could do.
Maybe they could call it something like "tough enough?"
Sick. I wish I would be able to do that soon.
When is William Regal going to be added in the Hall Of Fame?!
MRAnonymous why
@@travesty869 cuz he wipes his boots before he wrestles....and that is pretty cool...hall of fame for sure!!
I'm gonna make it to the WWE one day. One more year to go to begin training and putting in effort like I never did before. WWE is my life and I would not want to do anything else. ❤
So what happened ?
What happened ?
He dead
He went off to the army. Go figure
😂
Hardwork is everything ❤️
OMG !
This, all seems even more tougher then Army Boot camp 🤔😲
Glad to see Sara living the dream. Been a log time since All Pro Wrestling days in Hayward, Ca.
Tensei is still with the wwe?i thought he got fired
he is the head coach at the performance center
Head trainer at the Performance Center after Bill DeMott was let go. He's awesome at the PC and brings the experience from all over the world (especially NJPW) to the WWE recruits.
A-Train
No, that was Bill Demott (Hugh Morrus from WCW), resigned amiss verbal abuse allegations as trainer.
+Aaron Galbraith you mean sexual abuse
I respect every wrestler who goes under try outs and challenges making it into the WWE or at least trying. Then the gifted who are automatically inducted into the WWE.Seems to be more about experience then effort.
Did this 10 years ago at 19 in FCW and failed, life hit me hard with personal issues, family deaths, etc... I plan on trying 1 last time in 2-3 years, I don't wanna rush preparing for this... With only 1 chance left before I'll be too old, it can't be wasted...
How did you fail?
ALL I SEE ARE FUTURE JOBBERS.
lololol
True. Noone with charisma to be found.
+Sirion girl with green hair
They're in a tryout to show that they physically can do the workouts. If during the tryouts they tried to put themselves over they wouldn't get signed since it shows that they would have a bad attitutde to do that in this situation.
Bryan Abalona I'm gonna be a jobber when I'm in WWE lol
I remember back when tough enough first came man how things have changed
I CLEARLY remember that!!! In my opinion, i think WWE Tough Enough 1 in 2001 was harder than this
Albert: We are looking for agility, mobility & flexibility...
Also Albert during his career: 🐘
Looks like a fun time... Nothing like pushing limits 💯
Pray that I do good when I Tryout for wwe in the future
Futurewomenswrestler same, good luck
Futurewomenswrestler Right😂😂
If not go to new one with cody
One day 💪🏼
Lisa Barnard nope
Hey did u stoped vloging?
Lisa Barnard u stopped vlogging
Lisa Barnard hi
All. The best
A train in his prime was very agile for his size!! Dont forget that run in japan was amazing
Wow another video being recommended after years
Me in 10 years time - I'm coming for you NXT
Good luck my friend.
Good luck I'll se e u there too
how old r u?
15
Good luck to all of yall, can't wait to watch you guys compete from being rookies to main eventers xD
That's the feeling when you are in a match of almost 1 hour, your body can't keep going, but you need to keep going-
If Vince wants you to be a Superstar it will happen, he controls every aspect of the game.
@Eugene Kendrick Vince can make you a Star if he wants to.
Is there a way to experience that without trying out? Just for a workout to see what level of fitness I’m at? Or boot camp experience as well ?
I’m just interested in putting myself in the shoes to see how hard it actually is
0:34 is that Wardlow?
Hoping to do this one day! Looks hard as heck! But that's all about becoming a professional wrestler!
They softened up since tough enough
Yep. Tough enough was a ton harder
No way in hell I'm believing some of these trainers went through what they put the new kids through.
God, I wish I could watch Sara Del Rey wrestle again. One of the best female wrestlers I've ever seen perform. I'm glad she has a secure job after being on the indies for so long...
Now I start to wonder how the hell James Ellsworth got in to the main roster right away but not asuka
Because he is a jobber, not a wrestler, his job is to look pathetic and to be destroyed in a amusing way, he doesn´t need this training, hell if he were fit it would make his job harder, not easier
Jaime Subias Perez he was under contract though and was getting payed
Watching this makes you appreciate and understand the "It's still real to me, damn it!" Guy.
0:13 sounds like a crazy gym teacher making u do pushups in summer camp
1:22 shotzi blackheart
The coach looks like he's gonna have a heart ❤️ attack😆😂ha hahahahah
Woh ! Lord Tensai was there 🤩
Nice to see Robbie brookside given a role he was born for a fan and a friend proud of ya man
This is what is destroying the wwe. No indi circuit experience. Just American idol wrestling training
Destroying?? You idiot it’s enhancing
You mean like Shotzi? They are doing both ways of Indies and training here like Velveteen Dream is a product of this way
It’s still American idol of “wrestling”
TheStingerCode except it’s packed with international stars. So your math you moron
My friend was trained by regal in united kingdom long long ago he was a awesome trainer of wrestling
I once considered being a wrestler for a long time, but I'm not sure that I could go through everything they do. The intense training and rehearsing is one thing, but then you also spend lot's of time away from loved ones, deal with backstage politics and of course the critics who look down on your profession for no apparent reason other than to stupidly point out that it's fake as if that make's them smart and if it's not fake it's broadcasting too much violence that kids could imitate.
Don't worry about those critics its their just scared to put their body's on the line like us future wrestler do😝😋😒❤
GJ Battles same
I can deal with all of that, but being away from the family and the endless travel while not having a permanent base for the rest of your working life? Forget about it, its not all about the money and fame.
They say the average person is on the road about 300 plus days a yr between house shows raw smackdown etc and other marketing events
bro how much time would one take to become a professional wrestler ,lets take the example of logan he is already fit and muscular so how time do you think would have taken him to become a professional wrestler.
Adoraria participar desse desafio a caminha da minha carreira na wwe é um sonho imaginável eu poderia fazer vários personagens e o superstar que me espelho é Shawn Michaels sem dúvidas ♥️
Neat seeing Shotzi Blackheart at 1:39. Didn't know she had a tryout back then.
