BODYSLAMMERS PRO WRESTLING GYM OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Bodyslammers Pro Wrestling Gym would like to proudly welcome you to the Bodyslammers Gym official website. Bodyslammers has had a long history of training, assisting and polishing the skills of many wrestling superstars, many of which have gone on to successful careers in the top levels of the wrestling industry.

Originally founded by former WWE, ECW superstar and WWE Tough Enough trainer Al Snow, Bodyslammers brought forth the art of professional wrestling to a new generation of athletes and performers. Under the tutelage of Snow, the trainees at Bodyslammers learned the moves, the psychology and the art of professional wrestling. Once on the road, Al eventually put the training responsibilities onto one of his most promising students, who was Wayne Cryderman. Wayne assumed his responsibilities for many years, and once he moved back to Ottawa, reopened Bodyslammers Pro Wrestling Gym for young Canadians to learn the profession and to improve their abilities inside and outside the ring. Wayne has pledged that he wants to show his fellow wrestlers how to get bookings, how to market themselves and to be the best that they can possibly be as a professional. As testimonials on this site will show, his contribution has shined through to many of the wrestlers in this business, and you could be next superstar that breaks through. This is truly your opportunity, and there is no better time than now.

Yours truly,
Bodyslammers Pro Wrestling Gym.

Al Snow - Founder of Bodyslammers Gym

If you are passionate about a serious career in the business of professional wrestling then Bodyslammers Gym is the place to go. Bodyslammers will give you the tools and understanding of both the art form and business of professional wrestling. I have known Crusher Kline (Wayne Cryderman) since he walked into my original training centre in Lima Ohio. I consider him a collegue and a friend. He truly has a passion to help young aspiring athletes reach their individual goals in a very tough business.
