Larry Zbyszko Updates WWE Performance Center Coaching Situation
Larry Zbyszko provided an update on his status as a WWE Performance Center coach. Zbyszko had made a few appearances at the WWE PC in recent years, but he hasn't been seen there recently.
Zbyszko was a guest on the "Insiders Edge" podcast, where he discussed why he hasn't been seen at the PC in a few years.
"I live eight miles from the Performance Center, which is where they teach the new guys and where 'NXT' is filmed," Zbyszko explained. "Before the COVID nonsense, I was sticking my nose in and helping a couple of people, but that was about two years ago, and then things got weird. So I haven't been back since, but things are starting to open up and change now, and I've been keeping an eye on it. So we'll have to wait and see what happens."
Zbyszko admitted that he believes wrestling is now more of a circus act than a legitimate sport. He praised current athletes for raising the athletic bar, but he believes many moves have lost their meaning.
With that said, Zbyszko recognizes a generation gap between himself and the current crop of stars. He recalled going to the WWE PC and telling old wrestling stories to the younger generation, and the reactions he received.
"When I went to the PC and told some of the stories about the other guys, the young guys today would look at me and say, 'Really? 'Did that really happen?'"
