Brock Anderson signs a developmental contract with AEW

[markymark]

"[Brock] has been signed to a developmental contract and he’s continuing to train. “He is at all the TVs and he’s been around the coaches room, he hangs out a little bit during the day and he has the opportunity to be in the room with Dean Malenko, Dustin Rhodes, myself, Jake The Snake Roberts, Jerry Lynn. All sitting around bsing but you can imagine the number of years of experience and stories he’s getting to hear sitting in that room and the knowledge he can acquire just listening."

“He’s a real student of the business, he watches everything, listens to podcasts and he really works hard in the gym, he has certainly by-passed me. He’s picking up the basics and fundamentals, when he’s ready to debut, we’re always super critical of new talent that we see. Wrestling fans are fair but judgemental, they will judge him accordingly. He won’t be without training and having paid some dues. He’s not going to get any special treatment and I think you’ll be happy with the product you see. I’m real proud of his success so far.”

I'm looking forward to seeing whether the clone of Arn Anderson is as effective as the original. It'll be the most successful bit of human engineering since Dolly!

Seriously, he looked massive in his appearance on Dynamite and if he's even an inch good as Arn says he is (bias being his son very much there), it'll be exciting to see how he is.

He's been seen at the crowds watching on at Dynamite and Dark

I will be stunned if he doesn't wind up as FTR's third man down the road. It just seems to fit all too well.

...Anderson!

I'm not sure who's doing his actual hands on training, but having Dean, Jake, Dustin, Arn, and Jerry Lynn all there to give you pointers, you can only go up if you have an ounce of ability.

Dean is still probably the archetype I think of when it comes to technical wrestling, Dustin, Arn, and Jerry Lynn are the embodiments of "Good hands who can have a match with anyone", and Jake is probably on most people's Mount Rushmore of promos.

I hope he takes his time, and is given the time to learn and grow, because I hope for great things out of Brock Anderson.

I am salivating at the idea of this guy's work.

God, if Cody eventually does turn heel, he could turn on Arn and feud with this kid.

It seems both definitely have the work ethic, which helps a lot in pro wrestling.

If that's the standard way they've been polishing their green wrestlers, then it's no wonder AEW has been seeing so many people improve so quickly.

That's like a Harvard or Oxford type of wrestling education.

Plus I'm sure having guys around that know different styles (Omega and strong style, the Lucha Bros for.. well, Lucha) lets you learn different things and cherry-pick for your own in-ring work.

I know they've done things like have Dustin Rhodes giving workshops of sorts for rookies, but I don't know if they've done that as-much now that he's opened his own school, plus them having to shoot so many Dark matches. I imagine they'll have more time post-pandemic, but I guess we'll see.
