Kavita Devi Calls WWE Tryouts In India ‘Game Changer’

In an interview with Times Now News (h/t WrestlingInc), Kavita Devi talked about the upcoming talent tryouts in India and how they could be a big deal for the Indian pro-wrestling market. Highlights are below.

On if the tryouts are a game-changer for wrestling in India: “Yes, definitely this will be a game-changer. We can even see examples of that as several boys and girls are coming out and participating in it. This is just the first time it has happened and still, the response has been great.”

On the benefits of training in the Performance Center: “Even if we travel for shows, everything is taken care off by the WWE. There are other athletes with us, who also make us feel comfortable. Only a select number of people from the world come to the WWE Performance Center and they are coached by world-class wrestlers. They treat us like a family member. Everyone stays together and they don’t even let us realize that we are staying so far away from our homeland.”

On what needs to improve with wrestling training in India: “Currently, the facilities are not there in India. The craze is there among the youth but lack of basic facilities that are hampering them.”
