Danny Cage, co-owner of the famous Monster Factory wrestling school in New Jersey, recently spoke with Temple-News about the WWE Performance Center. Among some of the highlights:
“I love what they’re doing with the Performance Center,” Cage said. “When Gerald Brisco came to our place, he suggested we discuss with Triple H and check the center out. We run a very similar program to WWE developmental because they’re also looking for the basics rather than the high spots. But there are only so many people they can train at once, and people can’t always move to Florida to train. It would be great if they sent people over to us to check out. I can’t ever see there being a problem with us finding students because it’s for the better of the business.”
About what the center doesn’t do right: Birthday parties.
“The Monster Factory gives these kids a memorable birthday party,” Cage said. “They get in the ring, we show them how to closeline or whip a wrestler into the ropes, we’ll bump for them and they get to pin the wrestlers. The wrestlers also put on a match, we order pizza, it’s like an hour and a half and it’s a blast.”
