Can Wrestling Schools Utilize Obstacle Race Training?

By Rob Sutter


Wrestlers have to train in order to get better and I can't help but feel like that's become much more gratifying as a viewer than actually watching the main shows. World Wrestling Entertainment, for example, has NXT as its smaller promotion where up-and-comers work. They are able to train, all the while gain experience in front of a smaller audience which can prep them for when they finally do reach the main shows. When it comes to working out, though, I feel as though obstacle race training can help greatly on the matter.

NXT is considered to be the brainchild of Triple H and it definitely goes to show in the presentation it possesses. It feels very old school, as storylines have time to build and there is less in terms of advertising and more as far as action is concerned. I find this to be excellent because it shows that the viewing audience is going to see quality whenever they tune in. More importantly than that, though, they will see how athletes ply themselves and develop over time.

There have been cases of wrestlers coming up too early and, as a result, missing out on the developmental experience they could have had. Daniel Bryan is easily one of the best technical wrestlers of the last ten years but even he had to train. WWE's style is very different from others, after all. Sin Cara is a bad example, seeing as how he didn't go through prior training and his high-flying, fast-paced style just didn't gel with the vast majority of people on the roster.

I also believe that training can come through various other means, obstacle race training being one of them. These stars have to prove themselves to be versatile in such a scenario, which can play well into their time after NXT has passed them. Consider Adrian Neville, for instance; he's been given the moniker of "The Man That Gravity Forgot" and you can see why, judging by his array of techniques in which he soars through the air. Such athletes may be suitable for events such as Spartan Race.

NXT is brimming with stars and I think that it's just a matter of time before many of them are able to work with others on the main shows we see every Monday and Friday evening. Neville is just one name to consider, though, as you have others like Bray Wyatt, Kassius Ohno and Paige to name just a few. I think that wrestling has a stellar future and it will be carried out by the stars that are able to make it to the main roster. Obstacle race training may just be one step in the process.
