WWE Touts Opening Of New Performance Center

WWE has issued a press release touting the opening of the new performance center. The press release, titled “A New Beginning for WWE,” includes quotes from various people present at the opening including the following:

Triple H: “The WWE Performance Center represents the guaranteed future success of our company, providing the next generation of WWE Superstars with a world-class facility to call their own. The venue offers our developmental talent a full training experience with real time feedback from WWE coaches, trainers and doctors, giving them the resources they need to develop their talent both athletically and creatively.”

Florida governor Rick Scott: “We are happy to be back here at WWE’s Global Performance Center, officially opening this state-of-the-art training facility. WWE is a big name in sports entertainment so it’s fitting that they have chosen to take a one-way ticket to Florida to grow their business. In only two and a half years, Florida has created 330,000 private-sector jobs and our unemployment rate has dropped well below the national average to 7.1 percent. It’s working in Florida.”

Orange County mayor Teresa Jacobs: “Creating new, high-value jobs has been a top priority for my administration since day one. The grand opening of the amazing WWE Performance Center is terrific news for our local economy. Not only are these great jobs, the presence of the WWE Performance Center adds to Central Florida’s reputation as a television, film and entertainment production hub.”

Full Sail University COO Ken Goldstone: “Throughout our evolving partnership with WWE, our students have had the unique educational opportunity to take part in the live production process for WWE NXT tapings within the Full Sail Live venue. We are delighted to have the WWE Performance Center in such close proximity to our campus, and we are proud to participate in welcoming this facility to Central Florida.”
