Brian Fritz of The Orlando Sentinel posted a big
article on the WWE Performance Center. We noted earlier today that
the Performance Center recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. Bo Dallas,
Terry Taylor and Bill DeMott are all featured in the article.
When asked what he thought
when Triple H first came to him with the idea of the Performance Center, Bill
DeMott said:
“I thought he was a
little nuts in a good way. Think big, right? Think big, make big things happen
and that’s what he did.”
Bo Dallas also discussed how the
Performance Center has helped him, saying:
“Coming here, I
sharpened and fine-tuned everything I had and needed. What I thought of as
myself as a performer, I looked back and was like, ‘Wow, I improved from where I
was.’ I thought I was ready and then saw the improvements I made which were
unbelievable. It makes the transition from down here to up there (the WWE
roster) so much easier because you’re prepared for what they need you to do.
It’s not like you’re jumping into a whole other world. You’re prepared for what
they need.”
DeMott also chimed in with
the following:
“I think the
expectations are higher, and I think that falls back on this coaching staff and
everybody here. The nice connection from main roster to developmental is we’re
working like that — which we always have been — but there’s less of a gap and
they’re TV ready.”
