In an interview with Rob McCarron of Shake Them Ropes, former WWE NXT trainer Nick “Eugene” Dinsmore commented on the WWE Performance Center, new talent joining the WWE, Hideo Itami and Finn Bálor, living in India for three months as part of Ring Ka King and more.

Highlights of the interview are below:

On the WWE Performance Center: “This is something that when I first saw it, it blew my mind. I heard they went and looked at the New York Giants facility to see what the standard is for professional athletes, and I feel like the Performance Center far exceeds that.”

On new talent joining the WWE: “There’s a wide variety of talent there, from former professional athletes to actors to independent wrestlers… They’re people that can perform. It’s something special I saw at the Performance Center.”

On Hideo Itami and Finn Bálor deciding to leave Japan and join the company: “Kenta would have English class every day to help with his English. Fergal had apparently never driven a car before, so he would have driving classes. WWE was right there to help anyone who wanted to take a college course to help them with their WWE product, WWE was a very helpful company. Phenomenal.”
