CPW Academy

## Background

The CPW academy was founded along side CPW to start developing their talent to be put onto the shows (Uproar and Origins) most of their talent will be going to Origins to start off but might be able to work their way to Uproar. Some of their trainees that are deemed worthy by the head coaches Zac Anderson and Alex Clark will be fast tracked straight to Uproar. The Academy has 5 5 hour training sessions every week to make sure the trainees have what it takes to be in the business and more importantly in CPW. Most of the Academy members don't make it to the main shows and this will be the end of their road.

**The head coaches** at the CPW academy are former BCW, CWL and Multiverse wrestlers Zac Anderson and Alex Clark. The pair have been wrestling for many years and have won a plethora of championships together and separately. They are both former world champions with Zac holding the Nemesis World Championship for a month and Alex being a former WNW World Champion defeating Jacob Clark (his son) for the championship and holding on to it till the end of the company. He also won the M&A TNT Championship when WNW was shut down becoming the first man to hold that version of the belt they also held tag team champions together and have held many lower tier championships. Zac and Alex are also both very handsome fellas so they are very good at bringing in the trainees via their general sex appeal. The pair have the longest reigning tag team championship run in BCW history together. The pair dominated BCW separately and together but have also fought each other so they know how to deal with each other and other people when they try to go rouge.

**The regular coaches** still have a very high standard of wrestling and knowledge. Greg Greogories was the coach at the BCW training Academy and was personally requested to be brought in by Zac and Alex as he has been told to have created some of the biggest stars in the business back in his hay day so they wanted to bring him in for his knowledge of creating stars although he has never wrestled himself. The star siblings have both wrestled on the top tier of the wrestling business before, Jasper even going on the win the BAMF tournament once by beating some of the biggest names in the sport. Hannah has also competed for the Nemesis Womens title multiple times and come very close to doing so but has held the Queen of Genesis title. Jessie Anderson has followed almost the same path as Hannah as they came into the business together and have both held the QOG and gone after the Nemesis Womens Championship. Cali is one of the coaches to even out the aggression amongst the other coaches while still being a smart wrestler who's got a lot to be able to teach the students. She also designs the gear for the trainees if they haven't got their character prepared in time for a house show with full creative freedom. She has also held the CWL and TNT tag team championships and the FNF Pure Championship so she knows her way around that ring and how to win a match even while being the nicest person to ever live.

**The part time coaches** Cassidy Clark and El Rey Del Aire are both still currently wrestling so they can only come in sometimes but have both got a lot of knowledge about the sport and what to expect in that ring. Cassidy had an undefeated run in CWL the former top brand in the business and held their biggest championship the Nemesis Womens Championship. She also dominated FNF the biggest all womens show in wrestling holding their championship for most of it's initial run. El Rey is also a very decorated wrestling holding the WNW World Championship, 1WW Tag team, and WNW Openweight and defended those belts against some of the best in the business. Dan Darnester is currently apart of the CPW roster so he knows what the current landscape looks like and is good insight with his wide vocabulary. He has held the WNW Openweight Championship and WNW Tag Team Championships so he is a decorated wrestler.

## Training Schedule

**Mondays** are where they train the wrestlers new to the business and don't know much. This class is usually run mainly by Greg Gregories and the two head coaches as they need to see who can make it and who cannot. Zac and Alex push these wrestlers to their limits in these sessions physically and also teach them so of the fundamentals of wrestling such as rolls, chain wrestling and bodyweight control.

**Tuesdays** are normally taken by any of the normal coaches and Zac and Alex take the day off for these as it is just conditioning. On Tuesdays they make the wrestlers go through a intense circuit training prepared by Zac and Alex a few days before normally lasting 2-3 hours of straight exercise with very little breaking to see how long these wrestlers can go for. This is where the academy gets its most quitters. These sessions also mix the advanced wrestlers and the beginners so they can meet each other and learn what everyone is like.

**Wednesdays** are the day where the coaches are all there and this is where all of the students advanced and beginners work on their character work, they work on promoting themselves and how to talk to a crowd and on the microphone. The coaches show them how to present themselves in front of an audience and make the audience react to you the way you want them to.

**Thursdays** are the advanced classes where the coaches take the wrestlers closest to becoming fully fledged CPW wrestlers and make them work. They work on developing their movesets, their general fitness, etc. This day of the week is where you see the people with the most heart and the most fighting pride come forward and prove themselves. They end off the day by making the wrestlers fight one another so they can work on what to improve then next week.

**Fridays** are a free ring day. Some of the coaches will be there at all times and the trainees no matter how new or advanced can come down and work on whatever they want with the approval and help of the coaches there. This is the day you see the trainees and coaches the happiest because it is a day about passion and enjoying the time their after a long week of work.

**Weekends** are the days some of the coaches go out looking for new talent to bring in while the other coaches spend some time with the students getting to know them and seeing if they will blend well with the backstage area and people there.

The academy also runs seminars from veterans and current wrestlers at least twice a month with a frequent guest being Dmirti a veteran coach of the business and current manager of CPW wrestlers Bruno. There have also been seminars from the likes of Jacob and Jamie Clark where they taught them have to make any move a discuss move and how to present themselves on camera while in reality just bullied each other as the trainees watched and learned near to nothing and have not been welcomed back to do another together.
