The Wild Samoan Training Center Gives one lucky student FREE tuition!
Minneola, FL and Allentown, PA – For many years the Wild Samoan Training Center, Inc. operated by WWE Hall of Fame legend Afa “The Wild Samoan” has opened doors to make many of his students realize their dream of being WWE superstars. Some have even gone on to become Hollywood stars. When The Wild Samoan relocated to Florida, his son The Great Samu a/k/a former WWE superstar Samoan #3 and one half of the tag team "the Headshrinkers" continued his fathers work in the Allentown, PA location.
Two of the center's newest students, Joe Gomez and Reon Mahima, have just signed WWE delevelopmental contracts after WWE head of talent relations John Laurinaitis visited the center on June 26th.
The Wild Samoan Training Center gives back! The training center has received many letters from young men and women who want to join the program but just can't afford to invest in their future and dreams during these hard times. In consideration of the economic recession, Afa "The Wild Samoan" and The Great Samu have generously offered to give one lucky prospect the opportunity to enter into their world famous training programs in Minneola, Florida and Allentown, Pennsylvania for FREE.

About the Training Center
The Wild Samoan Training Center, Inc. was founded over thirty years ago by WWE Hall of Famer Afa "The Wild Samoan". It was in Pensacola, Florida that the now world-famous facility first began to train and assist in making the dream of becoming a pro wrestler a reality. Over the years while The Wild Samoan himself was living his own dream as a pro-wrestler, Afa continued to train and assist with careers of other hopefuls and as he traveled the world, he moved the training center to Connecticut and later to Pennsylvania so that he could always have a hand in helping others. Throughout the thirty years, many have passed through the ropes of this training genius who has earned the name "POPS" by those who know him best.
Afa's own brother Sika was his first student, and together with Afa formed the original extreme tag-team known as "The Wild Samoans". They held 21 tag titles including being the first team to hold the WWE tag belts three times. Afa and Sika's sons and nephews make up the Samoan Dynasty. The blood line includes: The Great Samu, Rikishi, Umaga, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Haku, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Tonga Kid, The Black Pearl, L.A. Smooth, Rosey, Toa Maivia, Sean Maluta, Kava, former WWE superstar Manu a.k.a. Afa Jr., and the late Yokozuna. The Wild Samoan Dynasty is one of the largest wrestling families and continues to grow with more second and third generation future superstars who are currently in training.

WXW is proud to offer a women's league that offers women athletes the chance to showcase their talents on their own all-women events.
