2008 Harley Race/NOAH Camp: Right Place, Right Time

from www.georgiawrestlinghistory.com

Sent to us from Harley Race, asking us to pass along "to any workers wanting to be looked at by WWE or Prowrestling Noah":

Finding success in professional wrestling requires a strong work ethic, talent, dedication, and, perhaps most importantly, being in the right place at the right time. The annual Harley Race/Pro-Wrestling NOAH camp has proven itself to be the right place for the professional wrestler looking to take the biggest step in his career.

Getting signed by a large promotion begins with a wrestler making himself visible to its scouts, and the camp offers visibility like no other camp or seminar in the business. The Harley Race/Pro-Wrestling NOAH camp is the only place a wrestler can receive guidance and instruction from an eight-time World Heavyweight Champion, Pro-Wrestling NOAH, and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) at the same time. With all major promotions seeking new talent like never before, there has never been a better time for a wrestler to attend the Harley Race/Pro-Wrestling NOAH camp than in 2008.

The camp has evolved from a small, one-week seminar into an international talent showcase: the 2007 camp featured wrestlers from four different continents. It has launched wrestlers’ careers, such as Robert Anthony, Keith Walker, and referee John Cone, who all signed developmental contracts with WWE shortly after attending camp, and Bobby Fish, who has made several trips to Japan with Pro-Wrestling NOAH after catching the eye of scouts at the camp. In addition to training provided by Race and trainers from his wrestling academy--a school which has produced WWE superstar Trevor Murdoch and developmental talents Ted DiBiase, Jr. and Joe Hennig--instruction will also be given by representatives from Pro-Wrestling NOAH and WWE.

Pro-Wrestling NOAH has already confirmed that they will be represented by GHC Heavyweight Champion Takeshi Morishima and Naomichi Marufuji, as well as Ken Hirayama and owner Ryu Nakata, at the 2008 camp.

Past WWE representatives have included Tom Pritchard, John Laurinitis (Johnny Ace), Mike Bucci (Simon Dean), and Mike Rotundo.

The camp is open to both current and aspiring professional wrestlers. It consists of cardiovascular conditioning, in-ring drills, and matches, as well as instruction on match structure, psychology, character development and marketing, microphone skills, and the many other necessary skills needed to become a star in professional wrestling.

The five-day camp will be held September 15-19 in Eldon, Missouri, beginning with registration Monday, September 15. It will include a live World League Wrestling event to be held Friday, September 19, which will feature both WLW regulars and wrestlers selected by WLW, NOAH, and WWE representatives to compete on the card. All wrestlers hoping to be considered for the live event must have a Missouri wrestling license before the camp begins. This will require a current physical and HIV and Hepatitis blood tests.

Appropriate forms may be obtained by contacting Meshell Rice at the State of Missouri Office of Athletics at 573-751-0243 or by faxing at 573-751-5649.

The camp is open to both current and aspiring wrestlers ages 18 and up. Female wrestlers are also encouraged to attend.

Cost for the camp is $500, including the $250 non-refundable deposit required to reserve a spot.

Camp availability is limited, so early registration will be required. Dozens of wrestlers missed out in 2007 when the camp reached capacity. Don’t miss out on your chance to attend the 2008 Harley Race/Pro-Wrestling NOAH camp!

Registration forms and further details will become available at harleyrace.com in the upcoming weeks.
