Fred Rosser has clarified his work over the last week at the WWE Performance Center and his status with the company. As reported on Saturday, the former Darren Young had posted to Twitter to note that he had been working as a coach at the WWE training facility.
Rosser posted to Twitter today to reveal that he had been working as a guest coach, as opposed to being signed on for a permanent position. He praised a few of the talent that he worked with, including Hidetora Hanata.
Rosser wrote:
“This week, I made my rounds as a GUEST COACH, observing, learning, and seeing how things are done. But I also had the opportunity to work closely with some young hopefuls, brainwashing them into believing in themselves and exploiting the gifts they already possess!
There were several others I enjoyed working with, but these three would definitely be my wrestling kids if I were there full-time!
Hidetora Hanada — I’ve already fallen in love with his willingness to be coached. Coming from sumo wrestling and playing football at Colorado State, he brings a unique background and a willingness to learn that I admire.
Amy — A dancer with natural presence! She absolutely killed it on the mic during class, and that confidence helped earn her an opportunity on NXT television.
Austin — With a background in bobsled and American football, he also showed what he could do on the mic in class, earning that NXT television opportunity alongside Amy. He reminds me of a young Wade Barrett!
My philosophy has always been simple: don’t try to turn everyone into the same performer. Identify their gifts, build their confidence, and help them become the best version of themselves.”
Fred Rosser remains an active performer, last competing at PRODUCE Volume 6: Hell Comes To Dogtown on October 22nd against Effy.
