WXM (Wrestling Xtreme Mania) hosted India's first-ever professional wrestling tryouts on November 30, 2025, at their state-of-the-art Performance Centre, throwing open doors to raw talent from UP, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and beyond—testing physiques, endurance, in-ring skills, mic work, and "Jigra" (unbreakable spirit) under special judge Sangram Singh, unearthing future superstars blending desi passion with global production values.
WXM Performance Centre: India's Premier Pro Wrestling Training Hub
WXM's world-class Performance Centre—India's first dedicated pro wrestling facility—features full rings, ramps, championship belts on display for motivation, and rigorous drills designed by Head Coach Guru to build WWE/NJPW-level athletes, addressing India's talent gap where facilities lagged behind passion. Founders envisioned a revolution: from Mumbai's NSCI Dome sellouts (3,000 fans at WAVE Summit) to arenas in Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata—roster already boasts Kevin Malik, Neel, Kaptaan, Dev, Jossan alongside WWE legends like Raj "The Maharaja" (Jinder Mahal), Samuray Del Sol (Kalisto), Dijak, Chris Adonis, Emi Sakura, Sha Samuels.Day 1 Breakdown: Brutal Physicality, Strength & Conditioning Drills
Day 1 focused on raw athleticism: Warm-ups kicked off with 200+ squats, push-ups, and ab crunches in the first hour alone, escalating to 900-1,000 reps per candidate by halftime—non-stop around-the-ring while others drilled inside. Ring skills tested footwork: rope running, high knees, criss-cross, side shuffles; weighted cardio included bench presses, squats (highlight: Mehl's record 55x100kg squats!), trap bar walks, dumbbell carries, 15m sprints in under 45 seconds (best: ~32s). Females shone—"small package, big explosion"—hitting 120+ spots, proving mental/emotional strength outpaces physical; Sangram praised their inspiration potential for districts/states.Day 2 Highlights: Mic Work, Promos, Character & In-Ring Showcases
Day 2 elevated personality: 1-minute intro promos evolved to improv scenarios—"Why wrestling over acting/sports?"—selling stories to judges (Jeet, Rishi, Sangram Singh). Standouts: Tufaan Singh's dominant "sabka baap" heel promo (10+ years experience); Harmanpreet (JD Baba)'s fiery backstory roast on Tufaan; females like Sandeep aced challenges despite mixed experience levels. Matches, announcing, refereeing tested all roles—close competition, but "fire and Jigra" separated winners; Sangram noted many saw a pro ring for the first time, yet pushed limits.Standout Contenders & Emotional Stories: Jigra in Action
- Ayush: Crushed 54 weighted squats, embodying relentless grind.

- Tufaan Singh vs. JD Baba: Epic promo war—past favors turned rivalry, pure drama.
- Candidates shared raw journeys: post-surgery pushes, family sacrifices, WWE dreams fueling 110% effort—"no choice but to succeed."
- Sangram Singh's Verdict: Impressed by India's Untapped Potential
- Olympic wrestler/judge Sangram Singh (relatable injury journey) raved: "Excellence in prep—first Performance Centre, not just academy; females mentally stronger; all pushed limits, future superstars found." Founders ecstatic: "Purpose solved—talent with fire/Jigra selected; daily tracking (bench from 100kg to 105kg) builds pros."
