“I was asked if I would hold a training seminar, I did and enjoyed it. The students really applied themselves, if they didn’t I wouldn’t waste my time doing it. They really took an interest in wanting to learn and getting better.”
Holly has a very direct approach with training believing that getting into the ring to show the young rookies how it is done is the best method of helping them learn.
“You can tell somebody all day long but until they actually do it they won’t know how it’s done or how it’s supposed to be done. You can’t talk somebody through it, or give them a mental image of how it is meant to be done they have to physically do it.
“I don’t just stand outside the ring and instruct them I get in there because I have a passion for what I do.
“If they don’t see that passion in me and feel like I’m not bothered with training them, they won’t want to be there. I am still learning, even though those guys maybe green they may do something I might learn. You just never know.”
The former WWE Tag Team Champion has been asked to wrestle and to take training seminars all over the world but he shows loyalty to VPW.
“It is a first class promotion.” Exclaims Holly, “They gear everything they do towards the fans, take pride in the talent that they have and don’t just put anybody out there to wrestle.
“Everybody is critiqued night after night; The UK Kid won’t let anybody from the school into the ring, in front of people until he feels they are ready and to me that is very important.
“VPW is a company that gives people opportunities to become wrestlers and they want to see people succeed, if wrestlers come out of VPW and get booked elsewhere then that makes the school look good, the company look good and the UK Kid look good for training them.”
