During the chat, QT Marshall revealed that he attended several WWE tryouts in the past. Back then, athletes were mostly quizzed about their physical attributes and rarely asked to showcase their wrestling abilities.
During one such tryout, Marshall disclosed that one of the WWE coaches bluntly stated they could not teach anyone to wrestle. He believes it was an arrogant mindset to have, as the company didn’t want to focus on the in-ring skills of an athlete.
QT Marshall says that the WWE tryout stayed with him for over a decade
QT Marshall further said he understands why WWE would have such a mindset. It is easier to train people who are wrestling fans or have an athletic background.
However, Marshall added that when dealing with 50 odd people keen to learn the craft, it’s wrong to have such an approach. The AEW star stated that the WWE tryout left a lasting impression on him. The interaction is still fresh in his mind more than a decade later.
QT Marshall is himself a coach. He’s the head trainer at Cody Rhodes’ wrestling school, “Nightmare Factory,” and trains the new generation of stars in AEW.
