My only problem is they should be going to TV like other Indy stars have.

None of the 4 are even big names like that. Moose has more popularity then the others, but would you say he is the stellar name that Danielson, Rollins and Punk had when they sign or that Lethal or Dem Boyz or Adam Cole have now.

Nah they aren't as popular but I just assumed guys with Indy backgrounds at least got to skip the in ring training and just work on mic skills and theatrics.

International wrestlers Big Damo and Noam Dar are expected to join Tommy End and Moose at the September WWE Performance Center tryouts, if they can pass their medicals. Dar is already confirmed for the WWE CWC this summer. WWE continues to get aggressive on talent acquisitions as several WWE NXT talents are expected to be called up for the Brand Extension and officials want experienced wrestlers who they can use on tour as opposed to the original idea of using the WWE Performance Center to take athletes and teach them to be pro wrestlers.

What international Superstars have arrived at the WWE Performance Center?

Progress_Chapter-28_463--6f47133bb7aeda3e06ec7f800426dead.jpg


Three internationally acclaimed Superstars have arrived at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla., to begin training.

Tom Budgen, Damian Mackle and Sarah Bridges — known around the world as Tommy End, Big Damo and “Crazy” Mary Dobson, respectively — are among the newest signees to WWE developmental contracts. Their official start in Orlando comes after months of speculation that all three were on their way to WWE and NXT.

Tom Budgen (pictured above) is a 14-year veteran from Amsterdam who boasts an extensive background in kickboxing and pencak silat, a class of Indonesian martial arts that involves grappling, striking and weapon fighting. Trained by the likes of Chris Hero, Nigel McGuinness and MMA pioneer Bob Schrijber, “The Anti-Hero” has emerged as one of wrestling’s most prolific and dangerous strikers, a tatted, black-metal mutilator whose kicks, elbows and knees threaten to cave in skulls. Budgen competed across Europe, Japan and the U.S., including with EVOLVE Wrestling, London’s PROGRESS Wrestling, Germany’s Westside Xtreme Wrestling and California’s Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.

Damian Mackle comes to the Performance Center from Northern Ireland, where the barrel-chested brute is called “The Beast of Belfast.” Inspired by local hero and legendary tough man Fit Finlay, Mackle made his ring debut in 2005, and has studied under former WWE Universal and NXT Champion Finn Bálor and current NXT coach Robbie Brookside. At 6-foot-3 and more than 300 pounds, Mackle was a premier super-heavyweight on the independent scene, having wrestled under the banners of U.K.-based Insane Championship Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling and New England-based Beyond Wrestling, among other organizations. He has also locked horns with Samoa Joe and NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in the past.

Indiana native Sarah Bridges, meanwhile, brings nearly brings nearly five years’ experience to the WWE Performance Center. Only 23 years old, Bridges has toured throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe, as well as Japan, where she also lived and trained under former WWE Superstar Taka Michinoku. Initially carving her niche in the hardcore-wrestling circuit, Bridges has competed in Shimmer Women Athletes, Shine Wrestling and Ring of Honor. She is often recognized for her war paint and for entering the ring in an eerie hockey mask straight out of “Friday the 13th.” Outside of wrestling, Bridges trains in Olympic weightlifting and has won several competitions.

I've seen Crazy Mary Dobson and I wasn't that impressed, but maybe the PC will give her some polish.


Tommy End and Timothy Thatcher had the best match during Wrestlemania 31 Weekend at Evolve 40.

Moose and Jay Lethal don't need to be at a performance center.
Give them a few dark matches to learn the WWE style and get used to their ring and put them on the big show.
