Ric Flair On WWE Performance Center Recruits – ‘Maybe 1 Percent Will Make It’

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair understands that new recruits can sometimes have a difficult time making it out of the WWE Performance Center and onto television.

Speaking on a recent edition of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, the Nature Boy opined on attending a WWE tryout during WrestleMania 39 weekend, the importance of promo skills in recruits, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On the importance of promo skills in recruits: “They had one guy from UCLA do endurance training and go through a seminar on how to do an interview [promo]. It’s really hard to explain because it’s gotta’ come from here [the heart] and here [the mind]. The biggest problem is, they have like 100 of them [collegiate athletes] in NXT [at the Performance Center] right now, and out of that, maybe 1 percent will make it [to television].”

On the Horsewomen being NXT’s biggest successes: “It’s been 10 years since Ashley [Charlotte] went there. The biggest group they had come out, which revolutionized the women’s division, was when Sasha [Banks], Charlotte, Bayley and Becky Lynch came up.”
