Show Notes

Does the WWE Performance Center Work?

Shane and Morro are back in the Gorilla Room discussing whether WWE’s Performance Center is actually producing better wrestlers.

How does WWE’s system compare to New Japan’s Young Lions? Are wrestlers being signed too young and missing out on the experience of working the independent scene and paying their dues?

The lads also get into the recent AJ Styles and Avery Styles controversy after Avery was criticised for not helping take down the ring at a GCW show. Does the old-school mentality still have a place in modern wrestling?

A discussion about how wrestlers learn, how stars are made, and whether WWE’s developmental system is really working.

And, as usual, the parameters of the argument are probably going to fall apart pretty quickly.
