WWE tryout at Performance Center, Sept. 2014: photos
In early September 2014, a cross-section of 30 athletes were invited to the Orlando, Fla.-based WWE Performance Center to take part in a WWE tryout.












Thirty men, including four referee candidates, descend upon the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla., for a three-day tryout.
Before anyone steps in the ring, the recruits undergo medical testing with Performance Center staff.
The prospects try to fight off their nervous energy by stretching in the Performance Center's world-class strength and conditioning gym.
Canyon Ceman, WWE's senior director of Talent Development, welcomes the men.
Head Coach Bill DeMott is the man charged with leading the tryouts.
The camp includes a cross-section of athletes, including an Olympic wrestler, a former NFL player and independent wrestling talent.
