Legendary Harley Race “Going Strong”
Slam Wrestling has an interview with wrestling legend, Harley Race. Here are a few snippets from the article:
Race talks about his wrestling facility: “I would like to think I have a very good facility. I have very knowledgeable wrestlers who started with me over 9-1/2 years ago now working with students in the ring. We also teach safety, which is very critical, but often overlooked. My World League Wrestling runs about 50 shows a year, which gives them a chance to work in front of a crowd, plus make a little money.”
Race talks about generations wrestlers and those who made the cuts and those who didn’t: “I currently have three kids of legends and 13 other students working for me. Everyone trains three evenings a week. If they feel they know it all, they might as well leave. At my age, I’m still learning.”
“I have several who are really promising. The ones who aren’t usually realize it on their own and leave. I feel the ones who continue to stay, train and workout have the most important thing besides talent, and that is the heart. I have gotten six wrestlers and one referee contracts with the WWE. I have also sent several of my guys to Pro Wrestling NOAH for Dojo training and tours on their shows.” More on the article with legendary Harley Race GO HERE>>>>>
