Russian Wrestler Steals The Show At WWE Tryouts, Update On Former NWA Champion In NXT

- As noted, former NWA Champion Adam Pearce was recently at the WWE Performance Center for his second stint as a guest trainer. Pearce was also working as an agent at the recent NXT TV tapings, shadowing Bill DeMott. As noted, there's a feeling among some of the wrestlers that Pearce may be hired.

- We noted before that indie star Uhaa Nation recently "turned heads" at the recent WWE tryouts. PWInsider reports that there was another trainee, who flew in from Russia, and "wowed" the Performance Center trainers. We don't know the Russian wrestler's name yet but he has a Greco-Roman wrestling background. The feeling was that the Russian talent is on his way to getting signed.
