During a recent panel for the 2020 Learfield IMG College Intercollegiate Athletics Forum, Triple H revealed what WWE is looking for in recruits, the importance of passion for the work, and more. You can check out some highlights below:
On the main thing WWE is looking for in recruits: “For us, charisma is king. I’m looking for that person, male or female, that walks into a room and you’re drawn to them. That just has that charisma factor.”
On the importance of passion for the work: “You’re looking for the people that have the skillset. But it’s funny for me, I’ll take heart and hunger. They’ll work a lot harder and they might make mistakes, but in those mistakes you’ll find excellence. And they’ll go above and beyond to prove themselves.”
On the WWE Performance Centers in Orlando and London: “[It’s] really the key to the future for us, because it allows us to create the stars of tomorrow. And when you look at the rosters of Raw, SmackDown and NXT but especially of Raw and SmackDown, 95% of those talent came through the Performance Center and that system.”
