AEW Director of Creative Coordination QT Marshall has provided an update on the development and training of Satnam Singh.
Satnam Singh is a 7-foot-3 former NBA player, and was actually the first ever NBA player from India to be drafted.
Speaking with WrestleRant about Singh’s progress, Marshall said:
“It’s going very good. He started maybe four weeks ago and we’re in our fourth week of our 12-week camp that we do. He kind of integrated in with some our brand new students and we also have some advanced guys and girls that come in. We try to accept everybody and that’s because everyone has different goals. There are some people like I said that are more advanced and we try to get him in there with some of those guys as well as myself and our assistant coaches. But he’s a pleasure to be around. He’s also getting paid to train and he’s the one rooting everyone on.
“Cody is there, and when Cody’s there, he does a lot of the promo aspect of it. That’s going to be the key. In pro-wrestling, if you can’t speak or if you can’t connect with an audience, it’s very difficult. He’s been working with him a lot on that. When it comes to the physical stuff, I’m more of the in-ring guy, and Cody has definitely tried to take him under his wing on the promo aspect.”
AEW announced Singh’s signing back in September.
It seems the promotion is making a bit of a push into the India market, with Jora Johl becoming a member of the Hardy Family Office in recent months, and Arjun Singh beating Dillon McQueen at the latest AEW Dark tapings.
