The Texas Wrestling Aacdemy is owned and operated by 25yr veteran
Rudy Boy Gonzalez, former head trainer of the Shawn Michaels
Wrestling Academy. Gonzalez was instrumental in the development of
WWE stars Paul London, Brian Kendrick, and Lance Cade, as well as
who many consider the very best in the business The American Dragon
Bryan Danielson. In fact along with Shooter Schultz, Kindrick, Cade,
and Danielson were signed to WWE Developmental contracts almost
immediatly after wrestling school. But it didnt stop there. Michael
Shane, Ruben Cruz Oz, and Kris Kruegar also trainees of Gonzalez,
were also becoming part of ECW before its closing. Michael Shane
would later become X-Division Champion in TNA. Simply Luscious
starred in RoH and around the East Coast as well as Mexico. Vicki
also had a brief run in Mexico as well.
The Texas Wrestling Academy / Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy would
make an impact on the Northeast as Gonzalez took his crew of stars
to Ring of Honor. Also making appearances in RoH were Hotsuff
Hernandez,Don Juan, Chris Marval, Fast Eddie and MasadaHernandez is
now a part of TNA and Masada is wrestling in All Japan. Recent
graduate Brett Thunder is now appearing in promotions through out
the Florida area and has also appeared on WWE's ECW. Other TWA
graduates that have been called on by WWE include Hector Navarro and
David Leetch on several occasions.
The TWA is also used as a polishing school by those that are already
in the wrestling buisness. Most notably Becky Bayless, who is
current Texas Ladies Champion, and Japanese Star Milano Collection
AT. On occasion WWE star Lance Cade comes in to assist with training,
as has American Dragon Bryan Danielson.
What sets the TWA apart from other wrestling schools is the
opportunities that are created once the trainees become part of the
'wrestling world'. Once formal training is complete, you will be
placed on the Texas Wrestling Entertainment active roster to be
polished. The TWE is the Academys sister company. Many Wrestling
schools 'train', but do not follow up on the individual. The TWA
follows up and more. TWE presents live events entitled 'Texas
Impact' which features the new faces of the business as well as some
of the rising stars in the Texas area. These events are another part
of training as it is here individuals are able to find their way
around the ring and the fans. This is very critical. Microphone and
'promo' skills are also taught.
The TWA also assists in weight training, nutrition, booking,
contracts, contacts and anything else that will further the careers
of the talent. No stone is left uncovered. This is why it is said
the TWA is THE most complete pro wrestling school today.
Sessions are designed progressively as the fundamentals are the focus
and as time and confidence is built, the more complex moves will be
covered. Everyone is trained at their own pace. Each session is
attended by Gonzalez and has a hands on philosophy.
The TWA asks for a commitment like no other. It is in no way
interested in training individuals for the 'Independents'. If your
level of expectation is only to that point, the TWA isn't for you.
Pro Wrestling is a job, as is Pro Football, or being a Doctor or
Lawyer. It demands a full commitment to be successful.
The Texas Wrestling Academy has been called one of the top Pro
Wrestling Schools in the world by wrestliong legend and 8 time NWA
World heavyweight Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race.
The Texas Wrestling Academy is one of the most complete and
informative wrestling schools in Pro Wrestling, covering the
fundamentals, High Flying, Strong Style, Lucha Libre and everything
in between. You will learn the importance of respect and proper
etiquette. The do's and dont's of the lockeoom and more.
The TWA is ready for you, are you ready for it.
