Evolution At Its Finest!
This Program Emphasizes the Intrinsic Value of the Individual student’s ability to Amplify their own Personality into their Own Personal Character. Regardless of whether a student is 15 or 50 years old, an Introvert or Extrovert, this Program will Transform students into Sports Entertainment Superstars!
We start this Journey by Teaching students how to Get The Fans’ Attention with the proper Execution of some of the Most Exciting, in some cases Never Seen Before Spots, Strikes, Locks & Holds!
With this Newly Acquired Skillset, we then Enrich Students on how to go from Getting The Fans Attention with these Spots, Strikes & Holds, and take them into the Second Phase of Training on how to Transition from getting the fans attention to having them Chanting Your Name! By ELIMINATING THE TIME BETWEEN THE SPOT, STRIKE OR HOLD & THE CELEBRATION or as we put it, AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT!!!
At the WFPC we have taken Revolutionary Steps to Evolve traditional Pro Wrestling training by taking into account, not only extrovert personality types, but also Introvert personality type’s and how they Gain & Expend Energy, who prefer one-on-one interactions, typically energized by internal thoughts and creativity.
While Extroverts are Energized by social interaction, external experiences and tend to be more outgoing, talkative, and thrive in group settings!
We Tailor our Program specific to the Individual Needs and experiences of each and every Student, by getting to know them as a person, what trials, tribulations and experiences have they had, and most importantly, what are their Goals and how do we Achieve those Milestones, so No Two Students Are Trained The Same, regardless of Age, Height, Weight, Personality Type, Physical or Creative Aptitude.
We train students under the assumption that they know nothing about wrestling and have no physical or creative natural abilities, so that Every Step, Aspect & Process for Succeeding in this industry is Delivered from simple ETIQUETTE to the final delivery of a HEART THUMPING, BONE CHILLING, IMAGINATION CAPTURING PERFORMANCE!
From Psychology & Philosophy to Storytelling & Character Development, this program inspires Teamwork, Leadership, Consistency of Movement, Speaking & Selling, Mirroring, Emotions & Promos, with attention to detail on how and when to display your own unique STYLE of INTENSITY, SHOWMANSHIP & CHARISMA!& Selling Yourself through Emotional Consistency of Movement!
Welcome to the Workforce Fitness Performance Center, where we don’t say,
YOU MISS 100% OF THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU DON’T TAKE!
We Say!
YOU MISS 100% OF THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU DON’T MAKE!
We will GIVE YOU that OPPORTUNITY, now MAKE SOMETHING OF IT!
At the WFPC, You Are a BEAST! That is about to be UNLEASHED!
But don’t take my word for it, just look at some of our student like Sidney Bateman aka Scripts Reggie former WWE Star & 24/7 SmackDown Champion, who trained at the WFPC and Signed a WWE Contract without a single match to his name, or London Bernard aka London Lightning who trained at the WFPC for 3 Months and went on to AEW, or Melanie Pagliaro aka Ava Lawless who Debuted on AEW, or Isaac Holunga aka Scorpious who Debuted on ROH, More Coming!!!
You Miss 100% Of The Opportunities You Don’t MAKE!
WFPC Etiquette, Psychology, Philosophy, Storytelling, Consistency, Structure & Concept
Etiquette:
Wipe your feet before you get in the ring & Shake Everyone’s Hand in the Gym & Backstage at shows, Be the Nicest, Most Humble, Positive Person Possible!
Psychology You’re In Ring Acting Ability to make a Wrestling Match look like a Real Fight, Period!
Philosophy:
Baby Out Wrestles Heel, Heel Cheats, which Builds Sympathy for the Baby, so the Fans Boo the Heel, and the Heel Gets Distracted, Fans then Cheer Baby, and Baby Fights Back! This is where the Magic Begins, because what happens here is this “SUSPENDS THE FANS BELIEFE THAT WRESTLING IS A WORK!” You become like a Puppet Master hanging the Hearts of Fans on the End of a String or more accurately, holding fans on the Edge of Their Seats in anticipation of Good Prevailing Over Evil!
Let Me Explain, if every time the Fans Cheer the Baby, the baby Fires Up, or every time the fans Boo the Heel, the heel Gets Distracted, the fans Start to Think, how can this be Scripted or Choreographed if every time I cheer the baby he Fires Up, and every time I boo the heel he Gets Distracted! This is the Majic!!! (Suspending the fans Belief that Wrestling is a Work!)
Storytelling:
What is the story, Who are you telling it to & Why are you telling it – Does your story go through all the Natural Human Emotions like Anger, Disgust, Fear, Joy, Sadness & Surprise & Can they Chant Your 2-Syllable Name like Hogan! Stone Cold! CENA! Randy! Goldberg, Rocky!
Sports Entertaining Storytelling is the art of telling a story with Movement.
You have From the Curtain to the Ring to tell your Story
This involves Creating a Narrative with a Plot to Invoke Emotion.
Storytelling is a Fundamental Human Activity used to Connect, Communicate & Influence Audiences by Crafting those same Human Narratives within Matches & Across a Promotion’s Shows to Emotionally Engage the Audience, Creating a Clear Beginning (Shine) , Middle (Heat) & End (Hot Comeback) to Rivalries & Conflicts!
This is achieved through Compelling Characters (Heroes & Villains or Champs & Chumps), Escalating Stakes (i.e. I’m Coming for you Champ!), Relatable Motivations (i.e. To Become the Champ!) & Dramatic Plot Twists (i.e. How the Hell did he Become the Champ!), by Transforming Simulated Combat into Captivating Human Drama that Makes Audiences Care about the outcome Beyond just the Physical Action!
Structure:
(13 Scenes)
1) Entrance (Explode!)
2) Establish the Heel
3) Establish the Baby
4) Mirror
5) Shine (Baby)
6) Cut Off Spot
7) Heat (Heel)
8) Turn Around Spot
9) Hot Comeback (Baby)
10) False Finish
11) Final Finish
12) 1,2,3 Pin!
13) Celebration!
Consistency of Movement:
One of the Fundamental Elements of Character Development is Consistency of Movement!
Make Everything You Do Your Trademark!
Like The Rock with the raising of his Eyebrow!
- Or the FAMOUS! Do You Smell! What The Rock! Is Cooking!
- Or the Turning of his Head! Or the way he Stood on the Top Ropes & Raised the Belt!
- Or The PEOPLES ELBOW! Always done with;
The LOOK, The ELBOW PAD, Hitting the ROPES & the Leg PUMP, Before the ELBOW!
Stone Cold Steve Austin – Victory Beers on the TOP ROPES! (And the GENIUS of that WAS! He had to WIN! Now what does the OFFICE have to DO? Always make him WIN!)
And it can be as simple as, the MIDDLE FINGER after the STUNNER!
Or The Undertaker with the Coffin & Rolling Back of His Eyes! I mean how GENIUS is That! What a great way to get a CLOSEUP! Now your FACE is on 3 Million kids shirts in the US ALONE! Or how he would ALWAYS Fold the Arms over the Chest of his opponent to show the FANS he is pinned and dead, arms folded like we see bodies in CASKETS at Funerals!
Or the Ultimate Warrior, how he would always run to the ring like we was charging into war! Or how he would Shake the Ropes! Or how he would always Pump His Arms above his head before he would Gorilla Press You!
And for The Beast From The Middle East he would always;
- Nip Up after the Cannon Ball Drop Kick off the Top Ropes!
- Point to the Heavens before the Running Diamond Cutter out of the corner!
- Or his famous Hip Toss to his Belly!
Or how they would hit his entrance music when he won a match followed by the Arabic Dabke Music, the music Arabs dance to at weddings, holding hands in a circle, and have the fans come out of their seats and do this dance around the ring like a scene out of a Movie!
The Lesson Is: For the office to get that enormous amount of AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT they must have you WIN ALL THE TIME! And WINNING is GOOD for BUSINESS!
Unique 7 Point Concept:
We have Revolutionized traditional Pro Wrestling Training from a Pro Wrestling Acting Program into an Audience Engagement & Amplification Program!
Where rather than having you Act Out a Character, we guide you on how to Amplify your own Personality & Engage the Audience, in a more Natural & Organic way! This ensures both Extroverts & Introverts have the same Opportunity for Success!
FIRST:
- We teach Right-Handed People to stomp with their right dominant foot & left-handed people to stomp with their left! (Making your stomps look real and natural)
- We teach Lockup Stabilize; by sliding your right hand onto your opponent’s chest to show you have front & rear control of your opponent!
- We teach Hiding the Stomp in the forward motion of your strike! So fans don’t see your feet go up & down, when making sound effects!
- We teach Leaping Off Your Left leg when hitting the ropes! So it looks like you were thrown into the ropes, not you turned yourself around!
- We teach you how to Evolve Any Move like a hip toss and go to your belly or turn the RKO into a running diamond cutter!
- We teach you how to Kill 2 Birds with One Stone! Or modify almost any move so 2 guys are crashing down on the mat at the same time! #1 it’s more dramatic & #2 it forces the mat away from the person taking the bump making it less impactful on their body!
- And Last But Not Least, this is the Best Kept Secret in Pro Wrestling! Eliminating the Time Between the Strike or Spot & the Celebration! FOR MAXIMIMUM AUDIENCE REACTION!
