Quincy Elliott recently spoke with Scott Mitchell of PWMania.com for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the former WWE talent spoke about first signing with the company, working at the WWE Performance Center and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On first signing with WWE: “I had a very unique tryout process. I tried out in 2021 as a part of the Summerslam tryouts. Initially, when I first tried it out I wasn’t told yes yet. They created a whole extended tryout for me and a couple of others, where we went to Florida, and trained at the Performance Center, and we were a part of the Performance Center for a month to see if they wanted to sign us.”
On what it was like to learn at the WWE Performance Center under the coaches they have there: “I’ve been a wrestling fan my entire life. My mom got me into wrestling, so being around the WWE Performance Center was a dream of mine. It’s something I held dear and took seriously at the same time. I got to learn from people I grew up idolizing and learn from people with different mindsets and styles from all over the world. Being at the Performance Center definitely changed me, it changed me as a human being too for the better.”
On if there were any lessons that he learned at the WWE PC that he can take with him wherever he ends up next: “I learned to always bet on yourself. When I first got to the Performance Center, I was just a no-name indie wrestler that WWE saw something in. When I started training at the Performance Center, I realized that not that this journey’s easy, but I made it happen, and if I wanted to become successful, I had to stand out. The Performance Center really taught me to believe in myself and have confidence.”
